ABOUT THIS BOOK:
It's love at first haunting in a seaside town that raises everyone’s spirits.
Small Florida coastal towns often find themselves scrambling for the tourism dollars that the Orlando theme parks leave behind. And within the town limits of Boneyard Key, the residents decided long ago to lean into its ghostliness. Nick Royer, owner of the Hallowed Grounds coffee shop, embraces the ghost tourism that keeps the local economy afloat, as well as his spectral roommate. At least he doesn’t have to run air-conditioning.
Cassie Rutherford possibly overreacted to all her friends getting married and having kids by leaving Orlando and buying a flipped historic cottage in Boneyard Key. Though there’s something unusual with her new home (her laptop won’t charge in any outlets, and the poetry magnets on her fridge definitely didn’t read “WRONG” and “MY HOUSE” when she put them up), she’s charmed by the colorful history surrounding her. And she's catching a certain vibe from the grumpy coffee shop owner whenever he slips her a free slice of banana bread along with her coffee order.
As Nick takes her on a ghost tour, sharing town gossip that tourists don't get to hear, and they spend nights side-by-side looking into the former owners of her haunted cottage, their connection solidifies into something very real and enticing. But Cassie's worried she’s in too deep with this whole (haunted) home ownership thing…and Nick's afraid to get too close in case Cassie gets scared away for good.

REVIEW: I admittedly don’t read the blurb on books, so all I was expecting was a romance story that involved ghosts in some way. It certainly delivered that. This book was a sweet, cozy romance with a mystery. It was low angst, which I enjoyed. The plot equally followed Nick and Cassie’s relationship and the mystery of the haunted cottage. I enjoyed the Florida feeling of the story. I grew up in St. Augustine, so I am no stranger to the tourist season. I think the book accurately portrayed what being in a quirky town in the height of summer was like. It felt very familiar. I didn’t expect to read Publix praises in a book, but that was also a fun call out. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I recommend it to romance fans who are looking for a quick and cozy read.
