This debut rom-com by Colby Wilkens put together a two of my favorite things; romance, comedy, and ghost stories. I was hooked by the time I finished the prologue. When rival horror authors Penelope and Neil find themselves living their own personal horror story after being snowed in together at a haunted castle in the Scottish Highlands that  their friend decided would be the perfect location for a writer retreat. As they work together to unravel the story of ghosts haunting the castle walls, they find themselves changing the way they view one another. I really enjoyed that BIPOC representation and how the characters address the issues they face as native authors in the writing business. With the dual POV you get the chance to experience both Pen and Niels awkwardness towards other another in both perspectives which will make you giggle. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book.
