Willow is a necromancer. She dedicates her life to helping ghost reach the otherside. This makes her an outcast in her own coven. When she comes across three ghosts, Kwil, Theo and Viktor AND a monster, Jonah, her life becomes pretty complicated.

Ghostly Touches is the first book in the Broken Vows series and boy, was it a strong start. I was LITERALLY hooked from the very first page! I loved Willow so much. I felt such a connection with her. She is a complete badass with a heart of gold. This story was a perfect blend of action, steam, and mystery. I am soooo anticipating book 2!!

I literally read this book in a day! I could not put it down.
Willow is a necromancer just trying to help ghost past to the other side. This is her normal life until 3 mysterious men and a monster show up to turn her life upside down.

This is a Why Choose book. Salem Cross does a absolutely beautiful job at combining paranormal and fantasy worlds together. I was so invested into the plot and smut all at the same time and now I am left needing the second book.

The world Salem has written is so different then books I’ve read and I love it. The creatures in it are so different and descriptive. I can’t wait to see what happens in the second book.

Ooooh, this was good. Plot-wise there wasn't much happening. They were mostly running around in circles. Willow is something else, I can only speculate on what's going on with her. The guys are something else also. Viktor is a real asshole, Theo is a close second. Jonah and Kwil are the better but have their own problems. Not that Willow (or I) can complain about it. The smut is delicious!

I received an ARC and I'm willingly giving my review with my own opinion.

I got this book as an ARC for an honest review!

I absolutely loved this book. The magic, world building and the story line had me hooked from the start!

Willow is an awesome main character and a very lucky lady! I loved how helpful she was to other spirits, as she is able to help them cross over into the spirit world, even if this is considered illegal in her world. She takes whatever punishment is dished out to her just to help others and is very selfless.

She comes across 4 very different men, Kwil, Jonah, Viktor, and Theo and is connected to all of them, which is all I will say without spoiling it.

There is some spice in this story and it is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to read more about it. I'll rait the spice a 3/5 on the spicy meter!

This story did end on a cliffhanger, but I'm not mad at all! It makes me want to read more!

This book got jumpier and jumpier the more I dove in. Monsters. Smut. Magic. Oh my. Had a few grammatical errors, but was easy enough to read through.
