What happens when a dangerous Vampire meets a Ghost that’s a goodie-two-shoes?
He falls for her, of course.
Thea Donovan has heard the stereotypes about Ghosts her whole life. How they can stick their hand in your chest and rip out your heart without you ever seeing it. But she knows the stigmas are wrong. After all, she’s a Ghost herself. But when her brother is wrongly accused of a mass attack, her usual efforts to win people over won’t be enough to free him. She’s going to need some help.
Enter Killian James. Killian has only one mission in life: to take down the Organization and get his revenge. When the arrest of a young Ghost appears to be connected to the very group that Killian has spent over a decade hunting, he decides to look into it. Turns out that the young Ghost has a sister who’s willing to do anything to free her brother. Even work with Killian.
Thea isn’t sure that making a deal with the infamous Vampire is in her best interest, but it is in her brother’s. So, despite Killian’s reputation and his indifferent attitude, she agrees to partner up with him. Between his connections and her Ghostly skillset, they should be able to free her brother and put an end to the Organization. If they don’t die first.
But Killian has become fond of the Ghost that haunts the cold cavity where his heart used to be, and he’ll employ any measures to keep her safe. No matter the cost.
My Ghost Only Haunts Her Favorite Vampires is the first book in The Haunted Lovers Department. This is a series of Halloween themed standalones set in a cozy world where it’s always autumn. These books, like all of Rachel E. Scott’s books, are clean reads that have no gratuitous violence, sex, or vulgar language.
*While these books are inspired by Halloween, none of the creatures nor the story elements are creepy or gruesome in any way. These books can be read in any order but are best read chronologically.
MY THOUGHTS
The world building was great. It wasn't overly complicated, which I appreciated. I enjoyed learning about the different types of paranomals. Their trademarks and abilities were so interesting!
I thought Autumnvale was such a charming setting! I wouldn’t mind living in a place that’s fall all the time.
The characters were wonderful. They were so fleshed out and, even though this is a fantasy book, they were so real. I felt for Thea. She received a lot of unwarranted hate just for being a Ghost, but I admired her strength and how she never gave up. I was really intrigued by Killian. He was a complex guy who I enjoyed getting to know.
This was the first book I’ve read by this author, but it won’t be my last. I had a lot of fun reading it and look forward to more from her. If you’re looking for a charming and cozy closed-door romantasy with all the fall vibes, you’ll love this book!
4.5 STARS
Autumnvale does sound like a fun place. And I love that she's a ghost. It's a nice twist. :D
