Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places
by Claire Kann
This was…..alright. Mostly the only thing I enjoyed was the asexual rep & conversations, and the 10 year old daughter named Rebel. The end had me SHOOK and not in a good way. I simply cannot believe how the sentient house plot line ended.
The pacing for the first 60% was wildly slow, and even with that, the relationship progression happened shockingly quickly. I was baffled when Lucky & Maverick both were like “I can’t stop thinking about you,” and I’m like “based on WHAT!!! You hardly know each other!!!!” It was kinda like insta-love, but not quite. I didn’t get their relationship at all, and even though Maverick said many validating things about Lucky being asexual and how that was fine by him bc he cared about her as a person, he also said things about how it’s important to him that she be attracted to him/his body, which was never really addressed/resolved. So it kinda felt like Lucky was being 100% honest & upfront about herself, and Maverick was like 60% upfront so it was hard to really be sure of where they stood.
I know the author was kinda trying to do a third act breakup situation but the motives/rationale were so weak from both parties. Also, it got resolved almost immediately bc there was were only pages left, so there was also no lingering tension bc of it.
