Welcome to my stop on The Ghost and the Graveyard tour. This tour is brought to you by Goddess Fish.
Left
destitute by an unscrupulous ex-boyfriend, Grateful Knight takes her father up
on his offer to live rent-free in a house he hasn't been able to sell.
Desperate to make a new start, Grateful tries to overlook the property’s less
desirable features, like the graveyard that stretches to her back door. On the
bright side, the unbelievably gorgeous cemetery caretaker, Rick, is dead set on
helping her feel at home. She vows to take things slow, considering her recent
disastrous relationship, but is baffled when she literally can’t keep her hands
off of him.
When
things in Grateful’s house start moving on their own, another man enters her
life—a sexy ghost with a dark secret. Magical forces are at work in the tiny
town of Red Grove and they're converging on Grateful. Solving this ghostly
mystery won’t be easy and with the caretaker becoming increasingly jealous of
her spectral relationship, Grateful will be forced to choose between the ghost
and the graveyard.
Excerpt from The Ghost and the Graveyard
I was
thinking he belonged in a museum, a chiseled-by-the-gods man museum, when my
brain was hijacked. I forgot about the road. I forgot where I was going. And a
fantasy hit me so fast and hard, it could’ve been a memory.
We were in
the shower. I was behind him, my arms wrapped around his torso. I rubbed lather
circles down his chest, over his rock-hard abs, and lower. In my daydream, he
moaned my name, and I was considering how to move myself around him without
breaking the rhythm. The scene was so vivid, the lavender scent of soap filled
the cab of my Jeep.
What snapped
me out of it was a barrage of pebbles hitting the undercarriage. I slammed on
the brakes, sending my vehicle into a reckless skid toward the edge of a stone
bridge straight out of one of those Thomas Kinkade prints. Whether it was ace
driving skills, gravity, or sheer dumb luck, I stalled at the precipice, all
white-knuckles and shivering limbs. I suppressed a lingering fear of plummeting
to my doom.
"Hey,
are you okay?" the man called. He’d dropped his shovel and was heading
toward me. His dark eyes narrowed in concern.
No way was I
explaining what just happened. I couldn’t possibly tell him about my fantasy
and I wasn’t a good enough liar to make up an alternate story on the fly. The
hot sting of a blush crept across my face just thinking about it.
My Review
Can I just say first, how gorgeous is that cover?
A refreshing new paranormal romance. A little bit of everything is included in this one. You've got ghosts, witches, demons, vamps and a new kind of shifter I've never heard of. There is a love triangle, but with a unique spin. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great. I connected with them all. The writing flowed and it was exciting. A little snark and a couple of exciting twists! Rick is super HOT and a little scary. Logan was sweet and soft. A really unique premise that I loved! I can't wait to find out what the future holds for Grateful!
GREAT READ!

WELL...If one is going to go over a precipice, there are worse ways to go than being caught up in such a lovely fantasy. LOL! What a fun tour it's been. I've enjoyed learning about Genevieve and The Ghost and the Graveyard.
