WITH ALL MY HAUNTED HEART by Isabel Sterling

 

ABOUT THE BOOK:

A witch hired to ethically haunt a small-town B&B instead finds herself spellbound by her non-magical client in this cozy and enchanting sapphic romance.

Steadily losing clients to the new DIY-magic shop on the other side of town, Pippa Ainsley is getting desperate. Instead of paying the witch to correct their magical maladies, local mundanes have been taking their chances with the cheaper—and unpredictable—crystals and herbal blends. So when Pippa’s best friend hires her to inspect his newly acquired bed-and-breakfast for ghosts, she doesn’t think twice about it.

That is, until she learns that his unfairly attractive co-owner, Elle Thompson, doesn’t want Pippa to rid their business of spirits. She wants Pippa to give them an edge over the competition by haunting their B&B.

It’s the perfect challenge for Pippa’s experimental magic, but just because she could figure it out, doesn’t mean it’s a smart or safe idea. But Elle is persistent, and the financial boost could save her own business if Pippa succeeds. Soon, Pippa finds herself testing the limits of her magic… and her ability to stop the growing attraction she feels toward Elle, a woman with a painful secret of her own.

MY THOUGHTS:

This was a fun, flirty, witchy, ghostly, and also very heartwarming read!

I always judge books like this by how much actual witchiness and ghostiness there is. And let me tell you... there is a lot! Making this one a very fun one to read. Purposely haunting a B & B? There is more to it than you would think! Interviewing the ghosts/spirits to find just the right ones, making sure everyone is safe, no possessions allowed! LOL

A few glitches, a few romance scenes (fairly clean) and a handful of teary eyed moments, and the Haunted Bed and Breakfast is ready for the grand opening.

A tad bit slower in the first half, but the second half made up for it. Definitely worth the magical read. Just be sure to have some tissues on hand.
