Haunting by Selena Winters is definitely outside of my usual reading preferences. I rarely pick up MF romances, and even less so stories that lean heavily into over-the-top possessive male characters. Still, for some reason, this one really caught my attention, and I felt like stepping out of my comfort zone.
I’m honestly a bit conflicted about how I feel. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t dislike it either. What kept me going was my curiosity—I genuinely wanted to know what would happen next, and I found the overall world and its characters intriguing. The Hollow’s Hunt, with its intricate maze, was especially fascinating and added a unique layer to the story.
This book is very spice-heavy, with only a light focus on plot. I didn’t fully connect with Xavier and Mira as a couple; their dynamic left me somewhat indifferent. Interestingly, I found myself much more drawn to the characters who will be featured in the next series.
There are plenty of intimate scenes, though they sometimes felt repetitive. I think more detailed writing could have made them stand out more and feel less generic.
That said, I stayed entertained from beginning to end, which is why I kept turning the pages. I’m still undecided about whether I’ll continue with the Blackwood brothers’ books or jump straight into the next series now that I’ve been introduced to this world—and to the characters who interest me the most.
