About this book

Fresh out of college, Evelyn Alexander’s first order of business was finding a place to live. One she could afford on her small inheritance before her job started. None of the local rental agencies had anything in her price range, but...she found a small Victorian house for sale, the only one mostly untouched in a decaying neighborhood of subdivided rental houses.

Complete with a ghost. A very attractive ghost. A very attractive ghost with a strong dislike of the idea of anyone changing his house. So, of course, she bought it. A cranky ghost for a roommate was still a better option than the tiny studio with criminal neighbors.

Between working to restore her new house, embezzlement at work and a murder next door, Evelyn has her hands full. As she works to get on her feet as a productive adult (and not fall in love with a ghost she can’t have), the problems start to snowball. And it’s only compounded by learning that her house has far more secrets than just a single, cranky (attractive) ghost...

Reader Reviews

Light and Mature - Highly Recommended

September 19, 2025

I enjoyed this book to the extent I nearly cancelled an outing to instead stay home and finish it. The characters are engaging, the plot is straightforward, and a happy ending was enjoyed by most. It seems new novels must fit a fairly defined set of parameters to get published these days resulting in boring, derivative and YA-level books. I was surprised to pick up a newly released novel and actually enjoy it. Much thanks to the author. )

Light easy reading.

Light easy reading. Light romance with paranormal influences. Picked this book up through Sunday AccordingtoHoyt self published book listings as submitted by the authors. Not the first book I've purchased having found them there, won't be the last either. Will watch for other books written by Holly Chism. ) One person found this helpful

I Loved This Book Until...

May 4, 2026

This is a well-written supernatural cozy with a good plot and sympathetic, well-developed characters. I felt like it was a 5-star read for 95% of the book, but my willing suspension of disbelief fell off a cliff in the last few pages. You see, the author has spent most of the book building up the protagonist as a believing, practicing Catholic who has a strong aversion to evil (including revulsion at the fornication culture in her workplace), frequently attends daily Mass, and exercises a...

Romance with paranormal elements

September 29, 2025

This book is a romance set in modern time with a ghost and young woman. Reminds me of the Ghost and Mrs Muir. It is paranormal because the heroine can see ghosts. It is enjoyable and I recommend it. )

Cool Story

As a male in my mid-50s, I'm not exactly the target audience for this book, but I enjoyed it immensely. It is a beautiful story, well-written, and well-developed. ) One person found this helpful
