GUYS. Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist has got to be one of the cutest stories I’ve ever read. Not only was i in the perfect mood for a cozy sapphic fantasy, but the vibes of this book were giving me everything i was looking for. I’m obsessed with Maple Hollow and how freaking adorable it is!
The story
When Jordyn, a witch, summons the ghost of her ex girlfriend, Lou, and Lou is unable to go back to the other side, the two set off on an adventure to figure out how to get Lou to pass over. They begin to believe that Jordyn needs to move on from Lou and their past relationship and as Lou meddles in Jordyn’s love life, Harlow, the new human in town is brought into the mix.
Harlow has moved to Maple Hollow to live with her sister. Running the café with her sister and learning that Maple Hollow has a supernatural secret is just the beginning of Harlow’s story and as she learns more and more about the town and it’s residents, Harlow realizes that maybe Maple Hollow is the home she’s been searching for.
With a mystery to solve, a brewing romance between a witch and a human, and a town full of supernatural residents, Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist will give you all kinds of spooky, witchy, cozy romance vibes!
The characters
I want to start with Lou because she had me cackling for a good portion of the book. I love her sense of humor and how she continued to pester Jordyn throughout the book. As a ghost, she somehow found ways to screw around with everyone’s stuff in town and i love how she was such a bold character.
Iris was the perfect side character as well. Not only was she the sweetest mother hen, but she was a wonderful best friend and i liked her character so much!
Willow being the overbearing older sister is something i really related to and i loved how i found myself represented in everything she did. She likes control and hates change and i found myself screaming “Willow is so me!”
Harlow and Jordyn were so freaking cute! I’m not someone who usually reaches for sapphic romances so i was worried that I’d not find the tension and intensity of a regular romance but boy was i wrong! Jordyn and Harlows romance was beautifully written and i could feel their chemistry sizzling through the pages of the book! Every second with them was so much fun and i adored their story!
“Muffins and moon water.” Harlow shook her head. “Sounds like a cute and cozy rom-com.”
Iris chuckled. “Welcome to Maple Hollow.”
The writing
This was such an easy read. I loved the writing style, i was pretty much hooked from page one. I genuinely didn’t want to put this book down!
In conclusion…
Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist is out now on kindle unlimited! If you’re looking for a cozy fantasy, this book is perfect for you and you’ll zip through it in one sitting!!
