Merry Spooky Love by Josie Silver ~ a Review

by MK French

Melody Bittersweet tends to have haunted holidays, and this one is no different.  When Lucy Libertine, namesake of the charming old-school department store Libertines, unexpectedly dies, the store goes to her deceased sister's three children: businessmen twins Francis and Tom, and their younger sister Fleur. The twins plan to sell, so Lucy begins haunting them. They call in Melody's ghost-hunting ex to defend them, so Lucy goes to Melody to represent Fleur and the deceased Libertine family. Melody is all too happy to take another job, save a beloved local store, and maybe knock her ex down a paranormal peg or two. Paperwork states that the store cannot be sold within three months of the death of a board member—and Lucy has already been dead for one. With tensions riding high and her relationship with Fletcher caught in the crosshairs, Melody and her crew only have two months left to save the store.

The Lost Bride Trilogy by Nora Roberts ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

Every spring, Nora Roberts publishes a standalone suspense novel, plus in the fall, she releases a book in her current trilogy.  I don't usually read her trilogy because for the past years they have been magical realism and/or paranormal.  I really enjoyed her standalone books, so I decided to try one of her trilogies.

The Lost Bride Trilogy is a tale of tragedies, loves found and lost, and a family haunted for generations.
