1.0

The plot and set up of this book had a lot of promise, however the spooky mystery was immediately overshadowed by the intense and unnecessary romance that takes place. The main character spends most of her time crying and over describing her interactions with the male characters. The graphic intimate scenes are jarring and out of sync with the rest of the story. Reader beware the ghost story is a subplot, and this is a miscategorized romance novel.

The ghost story was compelling enough to continue and the answers were obvious to the reader just the right amount of steps before the characters. I liked the descriptions of Maddy’s antics.

The instant romance was rather hard to believe and kind of weighed down the story. I was not at all expecting the graphic descriptions that went along with this part of the story and wasn’t a fan.
