Good SPirits

By B.K. Borison

He’s the Ghost of Christmas Past. She’s not exactly Scrooge.

Ghost of Christmas Past Nolan Callahan intends to spend this holiday haunting like every other—get in, get out, return to his otherwise aimless existence as a ghost awaiting the afterlife. But when he’s faced with Harriet York, the sweetest assignment he’s ever had, he suddenly finds himself wishing for a future.

Harriet York has no idea why she’s being haunted. She’s a good person—or, at least, she tries to be. A people pleaser to her core, she always does what’s expected of her. But as she and Nolan begin to examine her past, they discover there are threads that bind them together— and realize there might be more to moving on than expected.

With the deadline of Christmas Eve fast approaching, will they find the key to their futures in each other’s pasts? Or will they stay firmly in the present, indulging in their unexpected, spirited connection?

my review

I’m OBSESSED. I would give this book a billion stars if I could!!

This book has all the magical cozy feels a holiday romance should have.

Harriet was soft and strong, a combination not featured much in fiction. She was the embodiment of whimsy and magic and color and everything the Christmas season is about. 🎄✨

Nolan Callahan 👏👏👏 he was mysterious, and broody, and an IRISH SAILOR !! He was utterly obsessed with Harriet and cared so deeply for her and it showed through every page of this book. Nolan brought out the best in her and she brought out the best in him.

Every setting in this book- Annapolis, The Crow’s Nest, Harriet’s home, The Department of Hauntings and Spirits- felt so intentionaly chosen and created, it was just perfect.

The Department of Hauntings and Spirits was a delight to read about and I am very much looking forward to visiting more departments and different spirits. I’m VERY excited to read about a certain Reaper that was mentioned 👀🖤

BK Borison struck magic with this one. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect holiday romance. Good Spirits will haunt me (in a good way!) for years to come.

(Seriously, I think this is my new favorite book and I will never stop thinking about Harriet and Nolan and their happily ever after 🥹♥️)

Thank you soo much to Avon for the ARC of this book, I am eternally grateful 🫶
