This was such a fun read, and perfect for this time of year! It’s quite a short novella, coming in at about 50 pages, so is perfect for an evening curled up while it’s raining outside. This book has its own complete story while still setting up a series and I’m very excited to see where it’s going to go next.

J.P. Noether found the perfect balance of light-hearted and spooky, with plenty of atmosphere without it feeling too heavy. Even the chapter headings felt very true to life, capturing what the average person would actually think if they lived in a haunted house – for example, “Chapter 6: believe me, I know it sounds weird". Laren is a great character to read from, and the way the author set up her relationship Casey was really interesting – just enough to get us invested, without giving too much away! It’s clear that this romance is going to be a slow-burn across several books, and that’s a really nice contrast to the shorter, episodic ghost story in this first volume. I think it’s going to be a great story-arc to span across the future instalments.

If you’re looking for a cosy, spooky read, complete with great sapphic and non-binary representation, this is the book for you!
