It's love at first haunting in a seaside town that raises everyone’s spirits from USA Today bestselling author Jen DeLuca.
Small
Florida coastal towns often find themselves scrambling for the tourism
dollars that the Orlando theme parks leave behind. And within the town
limits of Boneyard Key, the residents decided long ago to lean into its
ghostliness. Nick Royer, owner of the Hallowed Grounds coffee shop,
embraces the ghost tourism that keeps the local economy afloat, as well
as his spectral roommate. At least he doesn’t have to run
air-conditioning.
Cassie Rutherford possibly overreacted to all
her friends getting married and having kids by leaving Orlando and
buying a flipped historic cottage in Boneyard Key. Though there’s
something unusual with her new home (her laptop won’t charge in any
outlets, and the poetry magnets on her fridge definitely didn’t read
“WRONG” and “MY HOUSE” when she put them up), she’s charmed by the
colorful history surrounding her. And she's catching a certain vibe from
the grumpy coffee shop owner whenever he slips her a free slice of
banana bread along with her coffee order.
As Nick takes her on a
ghost tour, sharing town gossip that tourists don't get to hear, and
they spend nights side-by-side looking into the former owners of her
haunted cottage, their connection solidifies into something very real
and enticing. But Cassie's worried she’s in too deep with this whole
(haunted) home ownership thing… and Nick's afraid to get too close in
case Cassie gets scared away for good.

What I thought about Haunted Ever After
This small town paranormal romance is set in Boneyard Key, a Florida coastal town. Cassie Rutherford is looking for love and a life for herself. She thinks she found the perfect place, until the ghost of Mean Mrs Hawkins, the previous owner (deceased) shows up!
There's a slow burn between main characters; Cassie and Nick Royer, the grumpy cafe owner in the town of Boneyard Key who also has an interesting roommate.
I loved the bits of humor, the new "ghost" characters operating in the modern world, and there's a bit of a mystery around the Mrs. Hawkins that needs to be solved.
If you are looking for an easy-going, cute, light-hearted, paranormal romance with a bit of a mystery, you might like Haunted Ever After.
