Gustaf | 1936 comments Task 5 - Completion post
Book: Principles of Spookology
Author: S.E. Harmon
Pages: 439/GR
How it fits: Rated 4 stars by Emilienne Emilienne's Shelf
Date completed: 24/9/20
Rating/Review: 5 stars

S.E. Harmon is sort of a unicum of an author to me. I shouldn't like what she writes, yet I love it every single time. I'm not a fan of series following the same couple for more than one book. I'm way too impatient for that HEA. Yet I'm here, loving everything about this series. The same goes for her Rules of Possession series, I'm rarely a fan of gay for you and yet I devoured that series. Obviously she's doing something right, but a unicum nonetheless.

I couldn't stop reading this book. The mystery was so intriguing. Rains struggles to handle his "gift" was interesting and the way his relationship with Danny was slowly developing was perfect. I loved the moments with Mason the ghost. At times it was hilarious, which was really needed to not make the story too heavy. Sure there was a moment when I asked myself how many sex scenes were going to be interrupted by a ghost, but that's about my only complaint.

Review:
Rory was a sweet guy. Someone you would want as a friend. David was in a bad way and homeless so to speak. So he rented a room from Rory. Poor Rory didn't even know he was in a relationship until boom he was. I love the author and I loved the book. The narrator was crap.

Wende | 1741 comments Goodreads is working again for me!
Btw reading How to Vex a Vampire after Knowing who the murderer is has taken the joy out of reading. Not as fun.

Didn't like it as much reading it this time. The humor was there but know that the person I liked is the killer and mastermind put a damper on the whole thing.

Vic is really shinning in this book. He is off the charts. They go to California to save Lisa. We also get to know Con better and oh how I love him and Vic being snarky!! This is my favorite book of the series and maybe one of my top five books

Wende | 1741 comments Still have one more to read already started it. So give me a few hours and I will be done. Done with Bingo book as well!
