Modern Day Salem provides the perfect escape from the boring, stifling life Ursula leads in her non-descript Mid-West town when she receives a mystery letter inviting her to come reside at The Lost Souls House. She packs up herself and her trusty Irish Wolfhound, Casper, and moves. While she finds much needed female friendship and a very slow burn frienemies to ? 🤫, not all is right in the town of Salem. With a heated Mayoral race and accusations running wild, will Ursula survive Salem and/or the infamous Brawny Man?

Debut Author LeAnna Ehrsam knocked it out of the solar system. The writing is lush, packed with detailed descriptions of scenery down to the wallpaper, thought-provoking prose, and gorgeous dialogue. A Tree House! (I have a theory about a future use of said Tree House!) 

The theme of female friendship, having those strong bonds, opening yourself up to be vulnerable to a close-knit group, hit home for me. And the attention to fashion, oh I noticed it! And I loved the descriptions of each character. They were each so unique down to one having red glasses. I adored Ursula's friendship with the young barista, Bess, and how she was able to provide shelter for her. Oh, and the Brawny Man.
