Review:

I've been DYING to continue in this world. I enjoyed the original series so I was excited to check out this spin-off. 

Here we follow Linney and Gray. Linney is the youngest of her sisters and has been overly protected and sheltered by her older sisters. They live in a secret cottage on Moonshadow Cove which is on the far side of Starfall Point. Together they keep their little haven hidden from the human population and safe from paranormal threats. Linney longs for more. When she sneaks to town, she comes across Starfall Point's newest resident...Gray. After his grandfather's passing, Gray is taking up the mantle and running his Ghost Tour business. Gray doesn't believe in ghosts, but he wants to honor his grandfather and live in Starfall Point. When Linney opens his eyes to the paranormal world. He can't go back. But there is a threat that they will have to work together to uncover and save Starfall Point and Moonshadow Cove. 

I highly recommend reading the original series first. Lots of references are tossed in here. Sure, you could attempt, but I feel like you would missing some key things if you don't read the original first.

Awwww we are back BABY!!! I love this little town. I love the residents. I might be slightly biased because this is set in Michigan. I'm a sucker for books set in my home state. ;)

Linney was adorable and sweet. Gray has a big heart and I hated his family. He deserves ALL the love. *mutters about greedy mfers and terrible people*

I enjoyed following the mystery and learning the secrets. It was fun! The baddie was certainly bad and it is just the beginning. More will follow especially with a certain event at the very end. No spoilers from me!!

Now...I will complain that the romance element seemed slightly neglected here. We rarely got to see our couple fall in love. Sure you can the see the lust, but it just fell flat. We needed more. Maybe a date or two? Things happened so quickly! 

The narrators are amazing. I'm so glad they came back for this spin off! It just wouldn't fee the same without them. 

In the end, I did enjoy this a lot. I do wish we had more romance. It felt rushed and we didn't get to really see these two fall in love. Maybe we'll see it more in the next book? Lots of action. Lots of ghosts. Lots of humor. And there is love there. I'll give this 4 stars.
