What a cute short tale. I enjoyed the light hearted feel of the read that accompanied the paranormal investigation that followed. Would definitely read the rest of the series.

No problem jumping right into this with this novella. It worked great. I wanted something short and that I got.
Verity can see ghosts thanks to the ghost that stays with her. They have a case to solve, and so they do.
Good little novella, and it made me curious about her ex and why she is seeing his brother. That sounds like quite the story.

This short story takes place shortly after the events that take place in Southern Spirits but stands well enough on its own. If you want to know about the furniture or the boyfriend read Southern Spirits. If you want a short, sweet, funny love story that goes to prove that some love stories never end then you want to read this. I get a kick out of Verity, Vinnie and friends and this short adventure gives you just a taste of what this series is going to be like. Sign me up.

Verity is having trouble furnishing her new Victorian home. She is also trying to get used to having a ghost knocking around the place. Frankie is a dead gangster trapped with her after an unfortunate mishap with his ashes in the Urn. Rather than scary, he is quite endearing. The device of having him help Verity see the dead — and use her ability to make some much needed cash to survive and endure the expenses.
Verity’s sister, Melody, wants her to help her friend Julie get rid of a ghost who has been bothering the collectibles case in her resale shop. Though Julie isn’t in a much better position than Verity and can’t offer money, a new set of kitchenware to the struggling Verity sounds just as good. It soon becomes complicated, however, when Verity and Frankie pay a visit at night, and discover the resale shop is a bar from another time. A soldier from the war worried about the great love he left behind, and whom he needs to find before she passes, this short and surprisingly warm story of love after dead .
A tradition featuring bottle caps and a girl who seems to have dropped off the map in ’42, when the young soldier died, turn this into a warm and sentimental short story, respectful of the sacrifice made by so many in WWII. Author give a beautiful tribute to fallen heroes of war.

Love story I should say rather than cozy mystery.

This was a pretty fun Novella to read. It takes place between the first book Southern Comforts and the second book The Skeleton in the closet. This read doesn't center on a murder like all the other books, rather, this time Verity and Frankie are investigating a haunting at an antique shop. The story was a really quick read that took me less than an hour. While the story was fun, I believe the way it was solved seemed way too much of a coincidence. Maybe this was done to keep the length short but I can get over how everything just fell into place.

This was a cute little read. Very short story, no cursing, no sexual talk, literally nothing bad. It is a cozy little mystery? Book that takes about an hour to get through. It is worth the read to give you a break from everything else!!

This was fun for a short story, the plot was fairly fast paced which I liked and the characters were likeable. I’m not big on cozy mysteries but I quite enjoyed this one so I might try some of the full length books
