Official Blurb:

I never asked for this.
I liked my simple life, living with my dad in our modest home, in a cozy little town.
Then everything changed. I take one step over a grave on Halloween, and suddenly he appears. Edgar. A not-living, not-breathing, very-dead ghost.
Apparently, I have a legacy to live up to and he’s been sent to escort me.
My estranged grandmother oversees the Harrowgrove manor, an enchantingly haunted estate where our family is subject to a devastating curse. One that jeopardizes my very safety.
Danger lurks hand in hand with the monsters that hide in the darkest of places, and it’s not my life that they want.
It’s my soul.

Review:

Calling all paranormal book girlies - this one is for you! I love when I come across a book with an original concept and this one is no exception. I admittedly don’t delve into paranormal books often, but I’m so glad I had the pleasure of reading this one! I feel like so much happens in this book even though it’s fairly short, I don’t want to spoil anything but just know there is a lot packed in.

Shortly before her 21st birthday, Willow finds herself face to face with her family’s curse - one that she will be forced to handle both in life and death. 

Willow is incredibly relatable, trying to find herself and who she is amongst learning all this new information that turns her world upside down. Edgar, the MMC is charming and protective, guiding her on her new path as part of her family’s legacy. 

A Grave So Cold is a quick read, coming in under 250 pages, but honestly I could’ve kept reading for another 500 pages! I loved this story and the characters and I was so intrigued by the whole concept. I immediately downloaded the second book, A Kiss So Cursed, because I just have to know what happens! Book 3, A Poison So Deadly, comes out in October as well!
