How to Live With a Ghost

by Melinda Wichmann

About this book

Jess McCallister moved to the historic Fox Hollow estate seeking a fresh start, far from the wreckage of her past romances. She wanted a home with character, but she got a lot more than she bargained for: a haunting presence with a lethal reputation for driving away tenants. As the boundary between the living and the dead begins to blur, Jess finds herself trapped in a high-stakes game of forced proximity, both with the restless spirit in her attic and the brooding, reclusive novelist next door.

This atmospheric paranormal romance masterfully weaves together historical mystery and modern-day danger. As Jess and her neighbor, Dan, investigate a century-old disappearance, they uncover a sinister plot targeting the local pioneer cemetery. What begins as an innocent search for answers quickly descends into a dark romance where the lines between enemies and lovers vanish. The suspense is palpable, balanced by the charm of small-town secrets and the undeniable tension blooming between two wounded souls.

Melinda Wichmann acts as a true word artist, painting vivid, haunting landscapes that pull you deep into the mystery. If you are craving a story that perfectly blends supernatural chills with a slow-burn, intense connection, this is your next obsession.

Delightfully engaging story with a nice balance of innocently sweet suspense, intrigue, and small-town charm. You're pulled into the not-so-everyday experiences of the main character and her canine partner-in-adventure as the author weaves a rich tapestry of story-telling through the comfortable and relatable day-to-day small town life. Rich with details and wonderful Iowa history. Can't wait for more from this author! )
