I've had this book in my TBR for a while but never got around to reading it and now I'm wishing I'd read it much earlier as it was a great read. Levi and Blue complement each other brilliantly, with Levi's goodness and kindness balanced by Blue's initial spiky snark. The ghosts are satisfyingly creepy, the romance builds at a nice pace - no insta-love here - and Tom, the bookshop owner, is a great character as well. If you like ghost stories with a side of romance and a murder mystery then I recommend this book. 👌 I've bought the 2nd and 3rd books in the series straightaway, I enjoyed this so much.
