What sets "Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places" apart is its unique blend of romance and the supernatural. While the paranormal element may not be the central focus of the story, it adds an extra layer of intrigue and whimsy that sets it apart from your typical romance novel. From the quirky characters to the cosy setting, Kann has created a world that is both enchanting and relatable.

Speaking of characters, Kann deserves praise for crafting a cast of characters that feel refreshingly real and multi-dimensional. Lucky is a protagonist you can't help but root for, with her infectious enthusiasm and unwavering determination. And while Maverick may seem like your typical leading man, he has a depth and complexity that make him truly memorable.

That being said, the novel is not without its flaws. The small amount of slang used by the protagonist is very 2020s, and is likely to be out of the popular consciousness in the next decade and may cause some confusion with future readers. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise enjoyable read.

This book is a cosy romance with the merest hint of the supernatural, if you're looking for a feel-good read that will leave you believing in happily ever afters, look no further than "Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places."
