If I Stopped Haunting You by Colby Wilkens
funny
mysterious
fast-paced
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
3.75
As a reader whose favorite words are spooky and spicy, this unique combination of both worlds immediately caught my attention. The story was such a fun twist on both the horror and romance drama, going back and forth between the genres as the novel progressed.
It was a tad difficult for the first half to want Pen and Neil to end up together, but as I got to see them grow together, that quickly changed in the second half of the book. The scene at the end with the tattoo filled my little soul with happiness.
The spicy scenes had me squealing with excitement but the historical horror side didn’t quite match the romance. I wish there had been a little more exploration into the ghosts stories and how they ended up trapped in the castle. The last 30 minutes almost fell a little flat, with it seeming to rush into an ending.
Thank you to the publishers and Net Gallery the early read!
