_basicbookworm 's review for:

The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana Biller
3.0

When I picked this up, I expected a historical romance with lots of ballet. I was quickly surprised by possible murder and literal ghosts. And there was so much more depth than I expected as we watched Ameile slowly deal with her trauma.

At first I wasn't sure about these unexpected (for me) twists, but as I kept reading I ended up enjoying this one far more than I expected. Seeing how helping each ghost move on also helped Ameile heal from her past was a beautiful transformation. I also greatly appreciated the flashbacks that allowed the reader to see how her trauma impacted her and how much she had changed as a result of her experiences.

Thanks to SMP Romance for the advanced copy.
