Super cute spooky rom com. Haunted house for a writers retreat in Scotland. What else is needed? Two enemies trying to keep peace for a week. And a haunted house with a story needing to be told. I read this in one sitting. Love how easy to read and happy the book made me feel. Loved the constant bickering between the FMC and MMC was and the two other friends/authors that kept betting on what would happen next.
This is a quick, and relatively enjoyable read!
The book starts off on a bang and really pulls you in. It allowed me to instantly get into it. And the trigger warnings are always a plus!
Also, I appreciate that the will they, won't they issues start very quickly in the plot. It has the right amount of scary without being a full on horror book. It felt more like a funny adventure scary story then a horror story…. With spice mixed in! .
My negatives:
The character development was slow. I didn't really feel a connection to the characters throughout the story because of it. Chapters were written from characters point of views but were hard to differentiate, without being told. They go from hate to interested so quickly, with not enough build up to truly feel why.
I will say, lines tend to repeat themselves and it tended to pull me out of the story. I'd have to take a second to reread and question myself on if I read it right the first time. There would be information given to the reader followed by the characters saying the exact same thing in conversation. Frustrating and overall confusing.
Overall the story was just fun. The “scary aspects” of the book are often followed by characters joking or hooking up. It tones everything down and makes every thing more playful. I would recommend it to someone looking for a quick, fun read.
