Cute, easy read- just was I was after to kill an evening around Halloween. Not very scary (alas) but just a touch of creepy and some quirky moments and characters made it fun reading.

This book has everything I've been looking for; awesome pop culture references, a funny haunting story, and a great crew of characters. I'm so mad it is a standalone book as it only took me a day to read.
It sort of reminded me of a good old Scooby Doo mystery, only no bad guys in masks at the end. The five main characters each bring something different to the story, be it attitude, sass, love, or hurt which meshes so well together; truly they come alive from the pages.
If you are looking for a great little escape ... this is the book for you . I laughed, I gasped, I didn't want to put it down! Cheers

This was a light and fun paranormal ghost story/romance. The characters were likable, the banter was quick and witty. A perfect sick in bed kind of read! I'm not a huge paranormal reader but I did enjoy the ghost story elements.

This book was really disappointing. The first 40% were so slow and boring I was close to give up reading it. After that, the plot finally appeared and it was a bit better.

Cute story. I listened to the audiobook and quite enjoyed the performance. It was a low drama enjoyable read and I definitely enjoyed the journey Molly took me on. I do find it a rather predictable story with twists that you can see coming from a mile away; however that didn't stop me from listening or genuinely liking the characters. It's a nice rainy, lazy day read.

I loved absolutely everything about this book!
I loved the characters, who were quirky and funny, and kind and smart, but who all had weird characteristics that made them human and likable.
I loved the plot, which has multiple story lines all running in parallel but interconnecting with the other stories in clever, neat ways.
I love that there are tons of references to nerdy things like movies, technology, and pop culture sprinkled throughout the book in ways that a subtle but totally make sense and work in the context of the story and what's going on.
I love that there is romance - more than one, actually - but that it is sweet and gentle and augments the other aspects of the book in totally natural and fitting ways, without becoming sappy or forced.
I love the writing, which is really, really strong. This author knows her characters and her stories and she delivers them in totally engaging, entertaining ways.
I loved the paranormal aspects of the story, which were perfect for the rest of the book, the characters involved and the history that leads up to where we find the characters.
I REALLY loved the renovation component of the story as the "Scooby gang" [yes, the book has references to Scooby Doo that make perfect sense - and that ALONE would make me give this 5 stars!] works on refurbishing Deacon's family home. I loved hearing about the gardens, and the crown moldings, and the stained glass in the ballroom. But then, I'm an architecture geek. If that isn't your thing, it is mild enough that you could skim over those descriptions if you really wanted to.
I simply adored every moment I spend reading this book! It was charming and fun and lovely on every level you can think of for a book. A delight!
