Synopsis

“Swoony and spooky.”—NPR

Love brings down the haunted house in this captivating romance from the acclaimed author of The Romantic Agenda.

Lucky Hart has a special affinity for the supernatural but almost no one takes parapsychology seriously. She’s estranged from her family, lost her friends, and has been rejected from graduate school. Twice. But her big break finally arrives when she gets insider info about a troubled production company. Every actor on their new show mysteriously quits after spending three nights inside Hennessee House, an old Victorian with a notorious reputation.

After scheming her way onto the show to investigate, Lucky meets Maverick Phillips and chemistry instantly crackles between them. He tempts her in ways no one ever has, challenging and supporting her, and making her finally feel seen. Their connection is so palpable everyone notices it–including Hennesee House.

Now Lucky and Maverick’s relationship has a challenger: the lonely, sentient house desperate for her undivided attention. As love begins to clash with career, Lucky refuses to choose one over the other because everyone deserves a happily ever after, even houses with haunted hearts. But when all her plans begin backfiring one-by-one, she realizes that if she wants to have it all? She'll have to risk everything.

This was very different for me. Slower than my other stuff and has more cosy mystery vibes. We have a haunted house, where a TV is being filmed, and our FMC is trying to uncover the mystery.

Goodreads review by Alex

I am a sucker for haunted house and paranormal investigation stories, so the premise of Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places inevitably captured my attention. The set-up for the romance was also intriguing (asexual FMC and allosexual MMC, who is a single dad), so I decided to give the book a g......more


Quotes

“This hauntingly funny rom-com is filled with interesting, fully developed characters (including the house). The dialogue is witty, and the interactions between characters are realistic to the personalities the author has created.”—Library Journal

Praise for The Romantic Agenda

“It’s a testament to Kann’s storytelling that readers root for Joy’s relationship with Fox – even if it does begin as a ruse to make Malcolm jealous.”USA Today

“Fake dating, friends-to-maybe-lovers, and an asexual #OwnVoices novel? This rom-com truly has it all.”—Betches

The Romantic Agenda offers something to look forward to.”Bustle

“Explores the nuances of friendship and the ace spectrum in a romance novel unlike any other, with characters that feel so real and lines that sound like poetry.”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author

“Sparkling with emotion and humor, The Romantic Agenda reminds readers that the best parts about life can often be found in the unexpected. A story about letting go and celebrating who you are, Kann’s adult debut is a must-read for anyone who’s ever loved, lost, and embraced love yet again.”—Ashley Herring-Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care

“Joy is a character who personifies her namesake to a T, and I’m here for it! The definition of a comfort read, The Romantic Agenda puts front and center underrepresented voices, and an engaging plot that belongs on every romance reader’s shelf. Claire is a powerhouse author to watch.”—Kosoko Jackson, author of I’m So (Not) Over You

“The heroine is, well, a joy, and Kann admirably portrays a distinctively asexual experience of attraction, dating, and romance on a deep level. This is a love story of a different and important type.”Publishers Weekly
