Book Review

Good Spirits by B.K. Borison (holiday paranormal romance)

This was such a perfect read for December in general, it was so cozy and magical. I loved the setting of the story, the description of Harriet's shop and house made me want to go visit somewhere like that. I thought getting glimpses of both of the characters past was really interesting and a fun way for the two of them to get to know each other in a way that normally would not be possible. I really enjoyed Harriet's character and being able to watch her grow as well as being able to see Nolan stick up for her with her family too. I loved how Nolan started to carry about candies for Harriet not long after meeting her. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because I wanted more info from Ch 38. I am looking forward to reading Grim Tidings next Christmas and seeing where that story takes us.

"I still feel like I don’t fit, but I’ve stopped trying to force myself into the spaces that aren’t made for me."

"I’m so damn tired of begging for scraps of affection. Not when I now know that it can be given so freely."

"What a gift that is. To still wish and dream and want. To find the good. To wear it on your sleeve."

-Grumpy/Sunshine

-Slow Burn

-Fated Mates

-Forced Proximity

4.75/5stars

So here are my honest thoughts on the book so far: 📚The biggest win for the author is that she easly transitions well between timelines. Throughout the book she jumps timelines often giving us background information on each character she does this seamlessly! I’m also a squirrel and get confused
