Book #1 in ·Part of collection
When Alma Peretz, freshly graduated from college and reluctantly back in her quirky Florida hometown, bumps into the last person she ever wanted to see—her high school English teacher and unrequited crush, Rachel Adler—her plan to quietly rebuild her life starts to unravel like a poorly carved jack-o’-lantern. Alma has never quite lived down the sting of confessing her feelings to Rachel on the last day of senior year, only to be gently but firmly turned away. Now, in a small city where everyone knows everyone, avoiding her is almost impossible. The coffee shop, the bar, even the corner store seems haunted by Rachel’s presence. When her old best friend dares her to finally face the town’s infamous tradition—spending one night in the supposedly haunted Harrington House, a rite of passage she’d always chickened out of—Alma reluctantly agrees. After all, she’s determined to shed her fears and start fresh. But when she shows up at the doorstep with shaking hands, she finds Rachel already there… confessing she never braved the house either. Forced to endure creaking floors, flickering candles, and maybe more than one mischievous ghost, Alma and Rachel must spend the night confronting both the supernatural and the unspoken tension between them. Alma might realize the only thing more terrifying than Harrington House is risking her heart again. And this time, Rachel might just be ready to meet her halfway.
I didn't truly know what to expect as it was a short read, but I think I have found a new author I want to read more stories of!! The way the plot was written was very entertaining and lighthearted, and the spice was quite fun too. Even with few knowledge of the characters, you could still see a tiny bit of depth, so that was also a pleasant surprise. And I had only an assumption that the book might have some small elements of Judaism because of the names of the characters, so I got excited about being right haha!
Overall, this was a cute short story, with a pretty cool haunted house concept, and interesting characters! I recommend it!
(Thank you Saphly for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!)
First of all I’d like to thank Saphly for providing me with an e-Arc!
This was a really fun lighthearted read that was extremely entertaining from start to finish. This book was beautifully written and even though it was quite a short read the author managed to give their characters depth and keep the story interesting the whole way through without any unnecessary storylines.
Overall this was a cute halloween/autumn read with spooky elements and a sweet sapphic second chance romance. With interesting characters and storyline I 100% recommend this book especially if you're looking for a short, easy and fast paced read.
Another one! 🎉 Short but sweet! Thoroughly enjoyed, didn't feel like it was too rushed, but I mean, expected. Whenever you see 'by Shay H-K Zayit' just know it's a good one 😆 Love it!!
This was a very light and easy read for the Halloween season. While it’s short, it didn’t feel rushed. I really enjoyed the haunted house plot.
