This has a very fun, whimsical and cute vibe to it, and I can see why people would enjoy this, but it just really wasn’t for me. It actually seemed a little childish in my opinion.
The murder mystery never truly gripped me, and I can’t say I was exceptionally eager to find out who killed Dusty and why.
Luckily, I did think that the reveal was quite well done, even though it was definitely a bit random and came out of nowhere, so I suppose there’s that.
The romance lacked detail and depth, and I really wasn’t particularly invested in it. Tristan and Danny are both sweet, and I’m sure they’ll make each other very happy, but their love story just meant nothing to me.
I liked the paranormal aspect of this book, though. The book starts with Tristan having developed the ability to see ghosts, and he is now being pestered by Dusty’s ghost to help solve her murder.
Dusty is a drag queen and her sass and running commentary could often be quite funny. She also had some lovely banter with Tristan from time to time.
All in all, I think this was a fun book and I didn’t think it was bad at what it was trying to do, but I just wasn’t a big fan. It was mostly boring to me.
