Yes! We're returning to Silver Springs and the original Pumpkin Spice Lattes with this one! I already discovered Hamilton in Moonlit Falls, the Silver Springs spin-off, and I was therefore very excited to read and discover this story. And luckily for me I managed to get an arc! What I loved about her book in Moonlit falls were the cute and vivid characters and the fact that it had more plot than just the falling in love part. I hoped I would get that once again!
The plot of this book was truly exciting! There was a true threat and a true evil villain that had to be defeated and although at times certain characters appearing doesn't make sense everything is cleared up and explained in the end and I was really surprised how nicely everything clicked. Every detail, every bit of information, every mention, every character, it all made sense and it all had an important role to play eventually.
I also really loved how Hamilton gave us the chance to get to know the guys without the girl a little too. At times their chapters feel a little chaotic, which is really nothing but a great way of showing us how it is in their minds, but I love all the different powers and gifts they have and I love how they as a family had also some growing and learning to do. It was quite nice to see that in the end all they need was a little glue.
And then there was our leading lady. I have to admit that I would have loved to learn a little more about her life before ending up as a ghost, but her personality totally makes up for it. She's quirky, she has absolutely no filter, at least it seems she hasn't, she gets distracted by the smallest and silliest things and I love how she's so pure and honest and real. I think it's almost impossible not to giggle once in a while, just like it's almost impossible not to like her.

This was beyond an amazing addition to the silver springs world and was the perfect mix of humor, action, and romance.
In this addition, the FMC is a ghost who died 6 months prior to the beginning of the book and needs to find a way to be whole again in order to be with her mates.

Jacinth was one of the newest member to the Silver Springs Cemetery. For being a ghost, she was full of life. When her twin was given an amulet, Jacinth was given 24 hours in corporal form. What a day it was
I looooved this story! Jacinth was such a fun character. With all of the puns she makes, she's definitely a ghost after my own heart. For all being brothers, they had completely different personalities as well. However, T.L Hamilton definitely made it all work. I loved all of minor references to past books. I love her prudish, completely opposite, twin sister. She was so funny and I am so excited is getting a book too! Can't wait to read her story.

I couldn't connect with the characters. I don't mind when their characterizations are Extra – the Heroine really does have a squirrel brain – but their arcs were nonsensical. I only understood the eldest brother was unaware of his brothers' magic when it was explicitly written on the page more than halfway into the novel. This knowledge shifted his characterization from protective & cautious to self-absorbed.
The Heroine's silliness was also all over the story which detracted rather than added to the plot.
I think part of the problem is that Jacinth was my first book in the Jewels Cafe series.
