I liked this one a lot! Boneyard Key felt very Salem-esque in being a tourist town with supernatural happenings. The vibes were comfortable and strongly small town without being too much of a stereotype.
I enjoyed the romance and characters, but nothing really jumped out. It was all pretty average.
I did however like the ghosts in this book! Sarah Hawkins communicating via magnet poetry was so fun, and the twist was well earned with how it was being teased. I found myself more intrigued with the Hawkins House story than Nick and Cassie’s romance, which at times felt rushed.
Overall, a good read for summer or fall if you want a mix of spooky and beach-y. I’m looking forward to the next in the series!
