Haunted Hearts by Amy Hutton is a fast-paced, contemporary romance set on New York’s Long Island with a spooky twist and a rom-com vibe. Think swoony with a side of spooky. Transcended by Ingrid J. Adams transports us to the Northern Beaches in the 1990s with a messy love ‘rectangle’, in the sequel to her previous novel. At the heart of both stories is romance, with themes of second chances, the impact of everyday decisions, and shared destiny.
Host: Zena Shapter
