I really loved this book. Once I started i could barely put it down. Who doesn't love a romance with a hot ghost and Gothic New Orleans?? I can't say the writing was perfect, and there were a few plot connections that didn't quite connect, but I don't care because it was a fun read. It also seemed like a great representation of neurodivergence. And again hot ghost and light Gothic horror

Content Warnings

Moderate: Mental illness

Minor: Gore, Blood

The main character is struggling with her OCD. As best as I can compare, being someone without the condition, it is handled very well. The character learns to adapt to her disorder and grows stronger because of it in a well done way.
