Summoning Up Love, by Synithia Williams

5.0

(4.5 rounded up to a 5)

Summoning Up Love is a contemporary romance with paranormal elements by Synithia Williams. The ebook version is 224 pages. We follow our two characters with a third person point-of-view.

After a string of bad luck--including being dumped by her boyfriend and fired from her job in the same day--Vanessa Steel drags herself to her grandmother's beach house to heal and find a new job. There, she realizes that her grandmother has offered to let Dion Livingston and his two brothers investigate some paranormal activity in her house, which she believes is her recently deceased husband trying to tell her something. Vanessa does not believe in ghosts, and demands that the Livingston brothers bring her on some of their other investigations before she'll let them film at her grandmother's house as a pilot for a potential tv series.

Overall this was a really quick and pleasant read! The pacing was pretty good, and even though it wasn't that long of a book we got some good character development. This is my first read from Williams, but she has an extensive back catalogue I'm excited to dip into. I'm also excited to read the next two books in this particular series, which will follow Dion's brothers.

Tropes in this book include: black love, curvy heroine

CW: ghosts
