Thank you to the publisher for the free book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I just didn't love this. I didn't really pull me in like I thought that it would. I liked the characters, but they just needed some more to them.

Thank you NetGalley for this review copy. I couldn't get into this book and I don't know why because I usually love books involving cemeteries and gravediggers.

First off the cover is absolutely adorable and one of my favorite romance covers. I was hooked pretty quickly when I first started but then quickly became disinterested. For a book that's barely over 300 pages it felt like it was dragging and never ending. Then I got to the first sex scene and it was so cringey. I thought this was going to be a 3 star, maybe even a 2 star read. And then I got to the last 20% and my mind was completely changed. Everything that happened with her family and with James almost brought tears to my eyes, it really warmed my heart. And I loved the Christmas elements thrown in even though the cover and most of the plot suggested otherwise.

This book explored fun romantic spooky themes! However, I had a hard time connecting with the story and that is obviously on me and not the book. I recognize that it has great potential to appeal to other readers and I encourage others to try it out! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book.

unfortunately this was not enjoyed as much as I enjoyed her first book. The plot was fun, but it felt like too much with the constant pranks especially knowing how much it was hurting a characters employment in the future.

overall, I did enjoy the characters, their interactions & chemistry. I loved the side characters and they definitely felt like they added something to the story.

While I didn't enjoy this book as much as Amber's first, I am excited for future books that she has coming out.

Huge thank you to Netgalley and Alcove Press for the e-arc in exchange of my honest review.

This was such a fun spooky season read - I love a non serious halloween/sppoky season book that jsut makes reading feel so fun! Super cosy and perfect for the autumn/fall time when you want to embrace all the spooky season vibes. Thank you so much to the publisher for allowing me to have this arc : )

Wanted to like this one at the beginning, but the entire book is so tedious and I did not care at all about the characters. The drama all seems manufactured and plot lines don't make a lot of sense. Similar to the plot of another book I've already read, which also bothered me throughout the story.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Haunt Your Heart Out by Amber Roberts!

This gave cute, quirky romance vibes - and although I assumed from the title/cover this was more of a Halloween read it's set over December/New years with a little spooky/paranormal doco plot which was fun!
I'm not a huge fan of insta-love and found it hard to really connect with the characters but it was still a fun read and can I just say I LOVE to see an FMC in her thirties instead of early twenties!

This book is perfect for those that love:
- Small town romance
- Strangers to lovers
- Book seller FMC
- Cosy spooky vibes
- Mental Health Rep
- LGBTIQA+
- Gilmore Girls-esque setting

The idea for the story made a good backdrop and driving force for the romance. The pacing was inconsistent at times.
This is a good pick for fall and Halloween reading!

I loved this! It was a super fun, cozy read (one of the best types of books), and I enjoyed the characters. I loved the romance between the FMC and the MMC and their dynamic. I will admit that towards the middle/end, I was concerned it was dragging on a bit, but it was still great. If you're looking for a cozy read with a bit of spooky vibes then I would highly recommend this. Also, it has the cutest cover.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review..

omg what a ride!I absolutely devoured this!! can’t fault it ! This book delivered and then some!! all the stars! ⭐️

I was drawn to this book because of its plot. The concept is new to me as I haven't really read romance novels around ghost hunters. Sounds fun. And for the most part it is. The start was engaging, funny, and fun. It drug a little in the middle. But the bond between the characters was adorable and the characters as a cast were incredibly likable. Not necessarily a realistic relationship, and because the characters get together fairly early it is a little repetitive. It's also pretty heavy on the miscommunication trope, which is not my most favorite. But it has good warm, winter vibes and fun settings.

This book may appeal to those who like cozy, flirtatious romance.

This book had me from the start with a book store called “Dog Eared” because that’s also the name of my fave bookstore in Iowa!🤭

I don’t love plots that are based on lies, but the author did a really good job justifying it and it’s so clear that the lie is too far gone to come back from. I didn’t care for either of the main characters though. They felt a little flat to me in terms of personality, which could just be a me thing.

If you’re looking for a cozy book about ghosts that isn’t about real ghosts, this is for you! I think I would’ve enjoyed this more during the vibes of spooky season. Lots of wealthy, privileged conflicted & self elected isolation from family

This was really cute. I had a great time with the blend of Christmas and Halloween. The pacing was a bit off but that was my only complaint.

I really liked the cover, but I just could not get into this book.
Thank you NetGalley, Amber Roberts, and Alcove Press for my advanced copy.

This one should have been a hit for me, but unfortunately, it didn't quite do what I had hoped. I almost dnf'd but pushed through. It's a learning process for me I guess. I disliked the fmc pretty early on, and the dialogue and banter didn't feel very natural on several occasions. I hated that there were lies and secrets underneath the story, and I wasn't even aware of all of them. This wouldn't fall under the miscommunication trope perse, but I would say it's definitely adjacent. It really made me dislike the fmc even more that she would keep her secrets for her own gain despite thinking/knowing that she was causing harm to people she cared about. I was really frustrated by the plot twist. The ending felt like it turned the story around a little for me, even if it was a bit forced, but it didn't quite make up for the rest of the book.

I really wanted to like this one, but the plot moved so quickly and yet somehow nothing happened...

I don't think I can recommend this read because even though I enjoyed their banter in the first 1/3 of the book I didn't like how they went straight into insta-love. It was also kind of boring and I should probably have dnf'd this one 50% or earlier into the book. Even the sex scenes had me skimming, and that is absolutely insane.

Wonderful story, great character development, great writing! Highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it

This is a charming and quirky romance. The pacing is a bit slow for such a short book, but the characters are excellent, banter is good, and the setting is well imagined.
