I'm still lost for words to be able to describe the emotional toll this book had on me 😭 I love Rynn and Loch. They had such horrible childhoods, but loved each other so much and made such dumb decisions.

Hindsight is always 20/20 and I feel that's exactly how Rynn felt. I loved her character so much, and honestly if I were in Loch's shoes, my ass would hold a grudge tooπŸ˜‚

This Haunted Heart gave Romeo & Juliet vibes but with an added HEA after all the tears and grief (because y'all already know I cried through this whole book πŸ₯²)

The ghost aspect was a little creepy, but only knowing what could happen if they weren't respected. I was on such an emotional ride with this book and cannot wait to reread itπŸ₯Ή
