    I enjoyed this; it was a fun read with an overview of ghost stories through the years.

    I do wish we had more on the science and the experiments that were done. I just wanted a little more but it was a fun read.

    Enjoyable, not groundbreaking. Most things were not as in-depth enough for me. The first part of the title is a little misleading to me.

    This was a beautiful story!

    First, thank you, Storm Publishing and NetGalley, for allowing me to read this arc to review. My opinions are my own.

    We follow both Colby and Josie as they meet and have a one-night stand but are then snowed in together at Colby's house and that's not all. The more they have to spend time together, the more they fall for each other, but does the other feel it too, and what will happen when the snow gets cleared? All I can tell you without spoiling is that Kona is a cute little golden doggie!

    Let's start with the writing. The writing was excellent, it was easy to read and nice to follow and the pacing was very consistent throughout the entire story.

    The characters? Love them! Both are fleshed out, real characters who have their flaws but are aware and working on them, they feel, they live, and they grow. Colby is an introverted dog mom who's not handling having her doggo in surgery well at all, but she's also a very hot flannel-wearing and amazing cooking woman.

    Josie is a huge animal-loving, keep my schedule as busy as possible, badass who's really worried if she can survive being snowed in without a full schedule to keep her busy.

    And then we have Kona! An absolute cutie patootie!

    This is the first time I've read a book by Dana Hawkins, and I'm hooked. I absolutely loved this book and the way the story is told. Reading about two people healing themselves slowly and rediscovering who they are was beautiful to read, and I cried many times, smiled, and laughed. I really enjoyed this book. I struggled to put it down and stick to my schedule!

    My only critique is that it ended a little too abruptly for me. I wanted a little bit more of them slowly adapting to life together and following it for a little longer, but I am glad it was talked about in the epilogue, which made me really happy. But yes, a solid, well-written, fun, and a little emotional story that I can fully recommend.

    Really enjoyed this, the sapphic vibe was very interesting and really fun for me! I wish it were longer, but I loved the vibe of this whole book and the way it was written!

    This was so much fun! This is what I call a cosy mystery, and we´re having an older lesbian couple as the main characters? Yes please! I loved the writing style, and the characters were great. I had a great time reading it! Will read the rest of the series!
