Dec 04, 2019 Jackie Cowgill (LanternsJourney) rated it it was amazing

This was the perfect quick binge read about first love and a haunted house. Reading it gave me the same feel as watching some of the classic 80s movies that combined love and the supernatural. I would consider this first and foremost a romance novel, with a fun and original twist on the haunted house story. This one works off the idea that cats are spirit guides to the other world, so if you like cats, you may especially love this story.

If romance, cats, and haunted houses are your thing, you s ...more

I was actually a little disappointed in HER HAUNTED HEART. Where HIS FINAL GIRL really grabbed on to that nostalgic horror feel, HER HAUNTED HEART just didn’t have it. At the very least what it did have that HFG didn’t was a sex scene that wasn’t squicky. What really killed HFG for me was the overly descriptive underage sex. In HHH, while the lovers were young, they were at least both 18 and out of high school so talk of pressing members and nipples had a much more positive effect this time arou I was actually a little disappointed in HER HAUNTED HEART.

In HHH, while the lovers were young, they were at least both 18 and out of high school so talk of pressing members and nipples had a much more positive effect this time around.

I just was not connecting with the story. I thought a lot of the horror elements were completely drowned out by the overwhelming number of scenes of Zelda and Tobe just talking to each other and doing research on the house. Not to mention probably half of the ghostly encounters occurred off page or to other characters and recounted in very basic, almost bland, details. And when there were ghosts on page they weren’t malevolent or sinister and were actually the more Casper variety which almost countered the overall mood of the story.

The ending I think was the only real part of the story that was somewhat creepy and somewhat in keeping with the B-movie theme, but it ended too quickly, in my opinion. I would have liked to have seen more of that B-movie creepiness throughout the story.

As for the cats, love the idea in theory. I’m all for injecting a touch more common sense into horror so the characters don’t constantly make boneheaded decisions that get themselves killed. Unfortunately, in practice I feel like the cats blunted the overall effect of the horror. They succeeded in stopping a lot of creepy things from happening to the characters, which resulted in far fewer creepy things to read about.

I liked Tobe and Zelda both as characters. They felt real and fleshed out. Not sure how I felt about the rocket propulsion of their relationship, though. I know this is romantic horror so keeping in mind how romance novels work out. Just the timeline ended up being really short for how intense their love got and how it stayed. Full disclosure, insta-love isn’t my thing to begin with, but at least the individual characters were good.

So overall, eh. Blunted is probably the best word to use for HER HAUNTED HEART. I didn’t feel a lot of heart in this one and the story overall felt really detached. The editing also seemed not up to the same level at HFG, like maybe this book was rushed out before it was really ready. I have HIS SCREAM QUEEN, the next in the series, so I’ll keep reading. I’m hoping it’s a good marriage of the good I’ve seen in the first two books that’ll help to level this series out for me. I’m still a fan of Ann’s writing; it’s just this book was missing . . . something.

A beautiful young woman moves into a haunted house. Across the street from a young man who has been studying the house. This story was well written and I enjoyed it. Story had an 80s vibe to it which was an extra bonus.
