This was an easy read about forbidden romance. However, I really didn’t connect to the characters. Bailey was boring and inconsistent, while Cooper was arrogant and frankly quite cruel. The mother and the stepfather were so improbably manipulative too. The plotlines were not believable, there were time jumps in the middle of chapters which were quite confusing, and then the final quarter of the book was extremely rushed. This book just wasn’t for me.

Twelve-year-old Grace and her feline best friend, Midnight, have a secret: Midnight is a ghost. But then again, so are the rest of Graces’ friends.
Since she’s the only person in hundreds of years with the ability to see them, the many ghosts of Tansy have flocked to Grace since birth. She doesn’t mind. She prefers the company of the dead to that of the cliquey kids at school.
Grace is happy with her strange life, until one day, the ghosts tell her about the secret her town has hidden for centuries. There’s a reason there are more ghosts than living people in Tansy. Three-hundred years ago, a lonely witch cast a spell that mistakenly trapped the soul of every person to ever set foot in the tiny town. So when the spirits beg her to find a way to break the curse, Grace is eager to help.
As she searches for answers, Grace makes discoveries about the secret her family hid for generations and a world of magic hidden in her own backyard.
Grace soon realizes that if she succeeds in breaking the curse, she’ll lose Midnight and all of her ghost friends, but if she fails, everyone living in Tansy will face the same fate. Can Grace break the curse before it’s too late?
Stephenie is the author of Grace’s Ghosts and the Nellie Nova series. Stephenie and her family live near Raleigh, North Carolina. She writes, teaches creative writing, and homeschools her three
amazing kids. Stephenie is represented by Jessica Reino of Metamorphosis Literary Agency.
