Harriet meets one of the ghosts of Christmas Past. Apparently there are a lot of them. But each time they go into her past to find out what bad thing she has done, the ghost, Nolan, doesn’t find anything to teach her. She has done nothing wrong. Rather, those around her have done wrong to her.

And then things get really weird when they end up going into Nolan’s past. (He died over 100 years ago in a shipwreck.

Why is this happening? And why are they also romantically drawn to each other. There is something very wrong in the Spirit Department.

This is a cute story. I enjoyed it. I loved the sub-plot of how Harriet was wronged her whole life, and how she learned to rise above it. It made one very sympathetic towards her. Especially when her mother wanted her to fit into a certain box that she just couldn’t do.

Fun and fast story.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. This book will be published the 21st of October 2025. I apparently is the first in a series of Ghosted books, with probably more spirits.

Obviously I was very excited for this book. I loved First Time Caller it literally hit every single mark for me but this one missed every mark. I did not really like either main character and didn’t feel like they had any chemistry. Mostly though I was just bored and felt like I had to force myself to finish this book.

Hands down best BK Borison book YET. I would read and purchase their grocery list at this point. This blew me away! It is holiday perfection with amazing banter and I just absolutely adored it.

This book! I would not think that a book about the ghost of Christmas past could be so lovely, or so emotional, or "swoonworthy". It's all of that and more. It's a sweet and tender book and even though I knew there would be a happy ending, I struggled with those last chapters and by the time the last knock at the door came I crying.

I loved this one! 2025 is B.K. Borison's year! I loved the characters and all the holiday spirit. This book is so war and cozy and I love that they get a HEA! The perfect addition to any Christmas tbr 2025 list!

10* stars. I adored this book. It was both beautiful and inspirational. These two characters go through so much to try to get their HEA. I loved it from beginning to end and look forward to more from this universe. This author never disappoints.

The BANTER!!! I loved the romance and humor in this book but the best parts by far was the flirty fun banter.

A truly beautiful and unique ghost story. I loved getting to see Nolan and Harriet's relationship develop. There was so much charm and loveliness in this book... it was a pleasure to read.

Good Spirits by B.K. Borison was such a charming and cozy read! This book is the perfect mix of holiday magic and romance. Nolan and Harriet are such a sweet pair. I loved watching their relationship grow as they explored her past and slowly unraveled their unexpected connection. Harriet is relatable as someone who’s always trying to make everyone else happy, and Nolan is surprisingly swoony for a ghost. Their banter and moments of vulnerability made the story feel so heartfelt. If you’re looking for a feel good, whimsical romance that leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling, I’d definitely recommend this book!

Do I have a crush on a ghost?

Yes, yes I do.

BK Borison makes everything cozy and romantic. This story exceeded all expectations. Nolan and Harriet are everything. I love that they found each other. And in true Borison fashion this story is HOT! I expected nothing less than a hot as hell ghost haunting a cheery Christmas lover. Can’t wait for the next ghosted story!

B.K. Borison does it again with Good Spirits, a holiday romance that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious with a dash of supernatural mischief. Think A Christmas Carol, but make it a rom-com, and replace Scrooge with Harriet York, a people pleaser so sweet she probably apologizes when someone bumps into her. Add in Nolan Callahan, the Ghost of Christmas Past who’s supposed to be helping her reflect on her life but ends up breaking every ghostly protocol by catching feelings.

Borison’s writing is sharp and full of charm, mixing laugh-out-loud moments (haunting isn’t exactly a glamorous gig) with genuinely touching reflections on love, life, and the occasional regret. The chemistry between Nolan and Harriet is SO delightful you’ll forget one of them is technically dead I guess??. And the holiday magic? Top-notch, with all the cozy, whimsical vibes you’d want for a winter read. Like I’m waiting for Christmas so I can reread this at the right time already.

If you’re looking for a book that’ll make you laugh, cry, and possibly reconsider the logistics of falling for a ghost, Good Spirits is a must-read. It’s the perfect blend of festive cheer and SWOONY romance that BK Borison never fails to give, guaranteed to haunt you (in the best way) long after the last page.

Harriet works in an antique store and lives a fairly sedate life. She finds herself waiting, staring out of her window, and drinking peppermint tea in cozy pajamas. One day, a man shows up claiming to a ghost of Christmas past and her simple life becomes a whole lot more interesting. As the two try to figure out why she needs to amend her ways, they discover that this holiday season haunting may be more about them together than her alone.

Wow…the premise of this story sounds so hokey, but trust me, it is not. Borison has managed to make a paranormal romance moving, heartfelt, hilarious, and heartbreaking - I absolutely loved it. On top of being a spicy happily ever after, there’s also a wonderful time travel element to this romance and plenty of generational trauma that makes you feel stripped bare and rebuilt after dealing with it. Harriet is so, so sweet and I love picturing her piddling away in her shop, and Nolan is a dish! I think this is my favorite Borison novel yet and I can’t wait to suggest this unique holiday romance to everyone I know! (And this is the first in a series - Whoo-hoo!)

I just love B. K.’s books so stinking much. Her stories are so unique and engaging and her characters are so well fleshed out and this was no exception.

It was so much fun to read about a ghost of Christmas past and see how the story was going to unfold! I truly had no idea what was going to happen. I also loved the fmc and how fun and kind she was. I love her love for candy canes and Christmas decor and Nolan just got her and encouraged her and helped her 🥲 I just loved seeing both of their journeys throughout the book!

I loved the antiques store. The banter was so funny. The writing was so good. I cannot get over her books honestly

This story was all together magical and I cannot wait to see what Becca does next.

So thankful and lucky to have gotten an early arc. Thanks NetGalley, Avon, & Harper for access.

I won’t give spoilers and I don’t want to say too much but truly BK Borison is a favorite of mine for good reason. There is so much honesty in her writing filled with humor and joy and longing and love and what it means to be a human being in this world. It’s all here, as it is in all her work. You will love Nolan & Harriet, end of story.
