Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor by Shawn M. Warner

5.0

5/5⭐️ Wow, just wow. I, like millions of others, found out about this book via Tiktok. While I knew I would support the author, I was worried I wouldn’t be super into this book. I am so so happy to say, I couldn’t have been more wrong.

This book is amazing. I was left always wanting to keep reading, only putting the book down when it could no longer keep my eyes open! The character development was beautiful, the twists were amazing, and the overall themes of grief, mental health, and unconditional love were wonderful. As a therapist myself, I felt that this book tackled some big themes in an accurate but also respectful way. The emotional journey this took me on was really amazing. I can’t wait to see if Leigh’s journey continues on in another book, but if not, this is still an amazing standalone.

I’m so happy that tiktok and booktok was able to bring light to this indie authors story. I hope that continues to happen.
