The dead romantics was a cute, spooky romance, that dealt with grief and loss beautifully. There was a lightness to the story that made it more fun to read
The main character Florence, was written well. She was quirky, but not tipping into irritating territory.
The subtle humour throughout the book, from the jokes on the page, to the chapter headings was great. The paranormal aspect was pretty vague, and at times confused me, but regardless, I enjoyed the book a lot, and am glad to have recieved an arc.

An endearing ghostly romance. Probably one of the most unique romances I have read. I don’t think I have ever read a book like this before and probably won’t again. Reminded me a bit of the film, just like heaven from the 2000s with a bit of beach read mixed in.

I truly fell in love with all the characters throughout the book. Just wish we could have gotten some scenes from different perspectives as I just naturally have a preference for books written in multiple pov.

I highly recommend you pick up this book. It may make you laugh; it may make you cry but it will definitely be something you remember as one of most unique romances of the this year.

Thank you very much for the privilege to review one of your titles. Full review to follow on here and on my blog. Love the supernatural vibe of this books premise. Very different for a book and an cannot wait to get started.

Florence Day is a ghost-writer with one big problem. She’s supposed to be penning swoon-worthy novels for a famous romance author but, after a bad break-up, Florence no longer believes in love. And when her strict (but undeniably hot) new editor, Benji Andor, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye.

Although when tragedy strikes and Florence has to head home, the last thing she expects to see is a ghost at her front door. Not just any ghost, however, but the stern form of her still very hot – yet now unquestionably dead – new editor.

As sparks start to fly between them, Florence tells herself she can’t be falling for a ghost – even an infuriatingly sexy one. But can Benji help Florence to realise love isn’t dead, after all?

If you fell in love with Beach Read, The Love Hypothesis and The Hating Game, this laugh-out-loud romance packed with sizzling chemistry will give you all the feels!

Such a unique book, I loved the plot and oh my god the characters we're so amazing!! I definitely will be recommending!!

Three and a half stars.

I was 50:50 on requesting this because I'm not a huge fan of stories involving ghosts but so many cool writers gave it glowing reviews that I took a chance.

Florence Day has had an unusual childhood, since her father is the town's undertaker and until her little sister was a baby the family lived upstairs in the funeral parlour. Also, she and her father can see and converse with ghosts, in fact her father thought it was his duty to assist ghosts to achieve whatever it was keeping them on the earthly plain. But then, after Florence's 'gift' was splashed all over the local newspapers she was determined to leave small-town Mairmont, South Carolina, and leave she did. A decade later Florence has never been back home and she earns a living as a ghostwriter for a famous romance novelist Ann Nicols. But since her last romance imploding in a fireball she's not felt in the least romantic and has, as a consequence, failed to deliver the fourth and final book in the four-book deal Ann signed with her publisher.

The book opens with Florence nervously going to meet her new book editor in her guise as Ann's 'assistant', hoping for a further deadline extension. But instead of the middle-aged woman Florence was expecting, the new editor turns out to be a tall, handsome, man called Benji Andor, who she vaguely remembers as being a colleague of her ex. Benji might be hot but he's not going to accept any excuses and Florence has one day to turn in the fourth and final novel.

Tragedy strikes and Florence returns to Mairmont to be with her family, but she seems to have acquired a ghost, that of her new editor - although he doesn't know he's dead. Can Florence cope with being back home for the first time in a decade, cope with her loss, finish her novel, and assist Benji to the other side?

Despite my initial misgivings, I really enjoyed at least the first half of the book, it was kooky and full of backstory and grabbed my attention. Then about midway it started to drag for me, also I totally sympathised with Florence's family's irritation at her need to do everything herself and alone, refusing help from everyone and not even allowing anyone else to get a look-in, all whilst giving off a whiff of burning martyr and telling everyone 'I'm fine'. Also, Florence talked out loud to Benji all the time, one particular moment in the B&B bar was particularly memorable for me, but no-one seemed to call her out for it.

Overall, it was a unique romance (albeit I realised how it would end quite early on - arguably I should have guessed before I started the book) with some really quirky touches but I felt there was just too much plot, too many backstories, too many side stories for it to work - unless of course this is the start of a series set in Mairmont ...

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
