The Haunted Heart by Penelope Gerhardt was an enjoyable but somewhat mixed experience.

The story is short and intense, with a good balance of smut and fall/Halloween vibes that kept me entertained. 

The atmosphere was perfect for the season, and the writing had moments that really drew me in. However, despite those strong elements, I didn’t feel fully invested in the plot or characters, which is probably why it didn’t stand out as much as I had hoped. 

That said, it did leave me curious about the universe, and I might check out more from this series or author. While it wasn’t a complete favorite, it had enough charm to keep me interested.
