TOTALLY ADDICTED TO READING

I was first introduced to this author’s work when I read her Vows of the Heart series. 

This is a series I thoroughly enjoyed. I have read other books written by her since then and she never disappoints. Based on this I was happy to receive an ARC of Haunted Heart.

Haunted Heart is a re-write of Ms. Loch’s Whisper to a Scream with a few modifications. The changes, although minor, has propelled this book to a five star rating.

Ty Crow is a New York City police detective who is on the hunt for a serial killer. The case has everyone baffled. Although Ty knew who the killer was he was unable to catch him. He was always one step ahead of the police. Due to the political bureaucracy surrounding the case, which prevented him from conducting his investigations efficiently, he resigned from the police force. He relocated to Williamsburg and left everything behind. However, the past has a funny way of catching up with you. This is what happened to Ty. He found himself being literally haunted by victims of the serial killer. In order to find out the meaning behind these occurrences he sought the help of Dr. Elizabeth Givens.

Dr. Givens is a psychologist who specializes in paranormal and parapsychology studies. Being an expert in her field, Ty thought she would be the best person to explain what’s happening to him and the course of action to take. She, however, did not want to be a part of it as she had given up working in the field for some years now. Ty on the other hand is determined to get her assistance and would do anything to persuade even if it meant joining her class.

It is evident that the serial killer is obsessed with Ty so much so that when Ty relocated he followed him and was quick to make his presence known. Initially, it was difficult to determine the reason for his obsession, however, as the story progresses it became clear.

This is a story that is filled with intrigue, suspense, drama, romance and mystery. It has the right balance of all these ingredients to make for an exciting read. If you are into the ghost hunting phenomena, then you will love this book even more.

Ty and Beth are about to face their biggest challenge ever. During this time they will both go through a period of self-discovery. There is a lot to this story, but I can’t say too much without ruining the surprises it has to offer.

Haunted Heart will pull you in completely, keeping you on the edge of your seat. You will not want to stop reading as you will be keen to discover what is coming next. The story is well paced and the writing is amazing. I loved everything about this book. The ending was nicely wrapped up. It does not leave the reader with any questions.

This is a great story by a talented author whose work I enjoy and it’s for that reason why she is on my list of must read authors.
