A spine-tingling tale this is not. I was ready to get my gothic vibe on but the dragged out descriptions in this one ruined it for me. I am all for atmospheric writing but this went completely overboard and wrecked the experience.

This is supposed to be a thriller but yet again a female author has gone to the romance side so this is more like a suspenseful romance. The two main characters were not very likable and the romance was for no good reason other than the fact that the male is rich and handsome with smoldering ice-blue eyes. BARF!🤮

I had no connection to the people on these pages, they were more like caricatures than characters. The lead guy’s name is Ransome King and they call him Ran. I nearly died laughing…I mean really? The book also loses points for the religious aspects and the side plot of human trafficking got more time than the ghosts did. There was no proper plot development, not enough ghosts and too much of the sexy time. This is a wildly popular author and the book has a 4.43 rating (WTF!?) so I guess I am an outlier once again…Well, I like it like that!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
