Anne has spent years haunted by a lifetime of pain, grief, and loss—emotions so overwhelming they threaten to consume her entirely. While memories she thought she could bury resurface with a relentless grip. Anne’s world has become a hollow echo of the person she once was, leaving her teetering on the brink of despair.
But on a fateful night, standing on the edge of a bridge with the churning river calling her name, Anne faces a choice she can no longer avoid. As the darkness threatens to claim her, a fleeting vision of love and resilience breaks through—Grace’s laughter, Sophie’s quiet strength, and the fragile threads of hope they’ve woven into her life.
Choosing to step back from the edge, Anne begins a raw and uncertain journey of healing. The road ahead is fraught with shadows and the ghosts of her past, but it’s also one filled with the possibility of rediscovery. With every faltering step, Anne confronts her deepest fears and finds that even in the bleakest moments, the light of love and connection can offer the strength to keep moving forward.
Haunted by the Thoughts is a poignant and heart-wrenching story of loss, resilience, and the power of hope. It’s a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure and the importance of finding something worth fighting for—even when it feels like all is lost.
I never DNF a book, but I did for this one. What I thought would be an eye opening book on mental illness, turned into talk of Paganism/witchcraft, which is when I stopped reading. The beginning of the book was SUPER repetitive. I get that mental illness puts thoughts on a loop, and I think that was what the author was trying to go for, but it was extremely repetitive even for that. I was willing to push through to finish the book, because after that first 20% of the book being repetitive, it started to add more detail to the story, but once it got to Paganism/witchcraft, I couldn’t read it anymore. Just wasn’t for me!
This book isn’t just a story—it’s a mirror held up to the raw, unfiltered reality of mental health struggles. The author approaches these themes with a haunting honesty that feels deeply human and painfully relatable. Each page peels back a layer, exposing the vulnerability, fear, and quiet strength that come with battling your own mind.
It’s not just the emotions that hit hard—it’s the authenticity. The way the characters navigate their struggles feels so real, so lived-in, that it’s impossible not to see pieces of yourself—or someone you love—in their journey.
No spoilers, but this story doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It’s intense, it’s heavy, and it’s unflinchingly honest. Yet, somehow, there’s a flicker of hope woven into the darkest corners.
I walked away from this book feeling like I had been seen like someone had put words to the thoughts we often bury. It’s a tough read, but an important one. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.
🖤✨💀🥀🧠💔🩸🖤 Highly recommend for anyone who values raw, emotional storytelling and an unflinching look at mental health.
📚 Book Review: Haunted by the The Thoughts ⭐️ Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is a real, raw, and unapologetically deep read. Haunted by the Th doesn’t just tell a story—it pulls you into the darkest corners of grief, loss, and the fragile threads of hope that keep us tethered to this world.
From the opening pages, Anne’s journey feels like a punch to the chest—her pain is heavy, her memories suffocating, and yet, there’s a flicker of light that refuses to go out. This book doesn’t sugarcoat despair; it makes you feel every ounce of it, and just when you think it’s all over when the darkness seems too thick to break through, there’s a moment—a single, fragile moment—that pulls you back from the edge.
The writing is visceral and unflinching, painting emotions so raw they seep into your bones. Anne’s story isn’t just about survival—it’s about finding something worth holding on to, even when everything feels shattered beyond repair.
If you’re looking for a book that’ll grab you by the soul, drag you to the edge, and then wrap you in a sliver of hope, Haunted by the Th delivers. It’s not just a story—it’s an experience.
This book absolutely took my breath away. It was a deeply emotional read, and I heavily related to the main character Anne.
The first chapter drew me in, with Anne contemplating on taking her life. The dark thoughts she had, as well as her life experiences that led her to this point, were so real. The way Revna writes about these paints such a vivid picture of what races through Anne’s mind.
There are strong themes of mental health (from depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation) but overall I think this is a truly uplifting story of overcoming those mental hurdles.
I loved it. It goes a long way in showing how some people deal with their mental well being and showing how it is okay to ask for help when you need it. It also shows that healing is a journey and therapy is no just a quick fix that if you go you will automatically be ok.
🖤 Haunted by the Thoughts is a raw, gut-wrenching journey through grief, resilience, and fragile hope. A beautifully written testament to the strength of the human spirit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #MustRead 🩸✨📖
This book was SO PAINFUL. After then 10th time the book described how the metal felt on her hands, the waves crashing, etc., I almost gave up. I did finish the story, but this could have been condensed into a short story for how much filler there is. There's also some pieces in there that seem to have been missed by the editor, including one spot where it looks like the author literally included a note about something to change.
