I always did have bad taste in men. Normally their issues were being assholes, and now the guy I'm crushing over may not even have a pulse.
This was a cute 4 star ghosty romance...until the end. >:(
4 stars: I liked seeing the cute sexting and dating and connection between Darcy and Caleb. It was very sweet seeing them establish a connection and then deepen it despite ghostyness. Though the "communicating while sleeping" was comically silly, since it read exactly like Darcy was still awake, but whatevs.
There was a great balance of the romance and mystery too, throughout the book. It felt naturally connected, no choppiness found. The reveal !! wat (positive)
why it's now 3 stars: spoilers for the ending!!!
[The ending felt super incredibly rushed to me, and left so many strands hanging I was very frustrated. Was there a length limit for these books in this series? That's the only reason I can come up with for it wrapping up at light speed like that. I had other questions such as:
What was the plan here? Caleb's father wants him dead for the inheritance - but Caleb was never actually dead. Why was he still alive? What was the music box? Why did he become a ghost? How did Tiny even keep him alive for a week anyway?? What was the whole fading-pain-room thing?
But mainly - why was Caleb kept alive at all!! the job was to have him dead, not like some energy sucking black magic! At least the way the story is set up it wasn't. Was there another plan for the story that got abruptly changed??
These threads left hanging - especially since ghostliness features so prominently - left this book on a flat note for me. Maybe the story got too complex for the length to develop some whole energy-sucking plot (which is what I thought was happening??) or other paranormal plottiness... but then it lost so many pieces it felt like I was left with part of a story.
Did I miss something?? Is my file not up to date??? if this is explained somewhere I would love to read it if i missed it! (hide spoiler)](i cant figure out spoilers on here - check my review on goodreads for this part!)
Anyway. Lots of thoughts on the ending. It's still a cute story, I recommend it for the romance and ghosty parts, and while the end was frustrating to me, I'm sure many people can just ignore it.
