Spells and Spirits by Violet Dawson

4.0

This book was exactly what I was looking for in a ghost romance novella.

One of our heroines, Andrea, is a witch who's been hired to get rid of the ghosts in a haunted house so that it can be developed. But one ghost in particular just isn't budging - Cecilia, a ghost in a flapper dress who knows she died at a party in that house but doesn't know how.

I loved the setup - Andrea is literally being paid to move Cecilia on from being a ghost, but falls for her. There's a nice bit of intrigue with the house's history, and a little jeopardy too in the form of whether Andrea will manage to keep her finances afloat.

I'm always fascinated by the different ways that ghost romances manage steamy scenes, and this didn't disappoint on that front at all.

There were areas of the story and character development that could have been fleshed out more, but for a novella that's not surprising.

If you're looking for a short, steamy sapphic paranormal romance that's a little different then definitely give this one a try.

Thank you BookSirens for the free review copy. All thoughts are my own.
