A tourist town that is genuinely, pleasantly haunted-- a good choice for #CozyReads, though there's a few nerve-wracking moments as well.
The idea of this was better than the execution for me. The pacing seemed off--the characters take ridiculously long to figure obvious things out--and the characters and romance, usually DeLuca's strength, are by the numbers. I'll probably still read the next book in hope of improvement.
bailedMeh, it‘s not for me. Over 100 pages in, and I still don‘t have a good feel for the characters nor do I understand their attraction except that they seem to be around the same age and single. The ‘haunted‘ part of this could just be a lot cooler. A haunted town, a haunted house? All of that should be super interesting, but it‘s just not. Moving on. ✌️
I live in a tourist town and am married to a Nick who‘s an owner of a coffee shop. Seriously connecting to this book so far!
Starting this one today. We just got home from a few days at Great Wolf Lodge in Dallas (kiddo‘s been dying to go back), and #DannyBoy is so happy to be back from boarding school! He‘s been my velcro kitty most of the evening, and exceedingly vocal about my failings as a mom. Time to sit down and hold the kitty.

bailedDNF at 75pgs
I skimmed the remainder of the book and read some spoiler reviews....I think DNF was def the right choice here!
I wanted to like this so much more than I did!
Florida is the best written character in this book..just saying!

pickI loved this. The cover makes it look like it would be a Halloween read but actually takes place in Florida during the summer. The ghosts that haunt the town are (mostly) friendly and playful, and there are comedic moments associated with them. The romance between Cassie and Nick is nice and doesn‘t overshadow the mystery involving the ghost that inhabits Cassie‘s house. I‘ll definitely pick up more by Jen DeLuca after this one. Lots of fun.
I‘ve been meandering my way thru this one over the past week when I can find a few minutes here and there. I‘m almost halfway thru but hoping to finish it up today or tomorrow. This is my first time reading one of Jen DeLuca‘s books.
It‘s cute so far! The ways the ghosts haunt this town are a lot of fun.
pickLight pick for this one. They get rid of ghost in this by telling him women can vote and he gets so mad he double dies. Just lightly girlboss a patriarchal spirit to death. A bit silly!
Also, I would NEVER stop texting the group chat about my haunted house, no matter how little they cared
You'd think ghost town-livers would recognize a possession situation when it happens to them, but maybe their ghosts are so benign that they've been left left helpless in the face of That One Asshole

"Living in a tourist town would be heaven on earth if it weren't for all the damn tourists."
I'm watching you, Florida-set book, but this is a fairly promising early sign
