P.S. I Spook You by S.E. Harmon
4.0

This was fun!

I liked the mix of the lighthearted tone and the heavy mystery investigation. I tend to be pretty oblivious so take this with a grain of salt, but the resolution wasn't immediately obvious to me and really kept me engaged.

The romance progressed at a good pace. I love, love, love couples with history (when the reason for the initial break-up wasn't a massive betrayal), and this felt really genuine. Rain coming back "home" and finding things put away in different places made me strangely sad, and I really felt for them both as they tried to navigate their new relationship.

I thought it was hilarious how once Rain finally starts revealing that he can speak to ghosts,
Spoiler no one really cares that much. I mean, ok, Danny has a mini-freakout, but I think it's well within reason. Everyone else is just like, "ok then, so let's just create a new paranormal task force ".


Ethan was such a sweetheart;
Spoiler I was sad to see him go even though I was glad he did get some peace with his parents.


I was, however, put off by the Anna plotline.
SpoilerDanny's sister's disappearance seems like a massive secret to keep from his partner of several years, even though Rain was also keeping secrets. Then her ghost is just dangled in front of our faces, and Danny doesn't want to know about it! Sure, that's his choice, but I hope we come back to this in later books.


The narration for this book was fine. There were a fair number of internal thoughts, and I sometimes had a hard time working out when it was Rain talking or when he was just thinking.
