Pretty enjoyable read, though at times definitely was a little "tumblr"-y in writing style. Some character dialogue could be a tad bit cringe at times. HOWEVER, I wouldn't recommend supporting this author. It's come out recently that there's some pretty damning evidence that they are brownfacing and have done so before. Rip a copy from a shadow library if you're that interested.

A wonderful novella featuring ghosts, demons, love, and more!


Welcome to ghosts (including a scary one), demons (kids never sign a contract with devils), LGBT (transgender, both of the characters), sexy times (yes, steaminess is here and I didn’t mind it, I was surprised had expected just spookiness, but I will definitely take it), witches in many forms (which I loved though Tehlor is terrifying at times), spooky houses (with spooky things happening including sleepwalking and faces staring at you in the mirror), instalove (which I wasn’t a fan off, but then saw the chemistry between the two and started rooting for these two that they would be able to get together after everything has happened), angels (yes, really angels), sad heart-breaking stories (both of them went through a lot in life), and an awesome ending (with dangerous situations, angels, scary moments, courage and strong will, a devil, and more), along with an even better ending (I loved that Colin asked Bishop that and I want to read more).

I loved the illustrations at each chapter and how they fitted with each chapter, but I also love seeing the window/mirror break each time more and more with each passing chapter. The illustration style was so pretty!

I would love more adventures/ghost hunting stuff with Colin and Bishop, however from what we see at the end it seems the next is Tehlor and someone else. I am not sure if I want that. I mean, leave dead bodies to rest.

All in all, I would recommend this novella to all!

This author was unveiled to have been brownfacing (and not for the first time), in addition to bullying actual POCs. I will not be supporting their work, and I recommend doing the same. Personally, I'm turning my copy into blackout poetry.

I do not recommend reading anything by this author. They presented as someone they are not in a harmful way.

Couldn’t really get into the book and then I found out that Freydis Moon isn’t who she says she is. So, I will not be going back to finish it.

Oh, this was just incredible! I’m sitting here with the finished book before me with excited jitters. This book is quick, sweet, and heart wrenching but worth reading every page. Gosh I can’t recommend it enough. I fell in love with the book, was haunted by it every time I put it down, and was left shocked through several bouts of havoc as these passionate characters made their way through each day in their world. 10000/10!
