TW: Transphobia and dead naming.

I knew I would like this, (Hawk hasn't let me down yet) but I hadn't expected to like it quite as much as I did.

I don't know if anyone else here has seen the tv show SurrealEstate, but that's what the book reminds me so much of. (Even if this series actually came first.) You've got people using both magic and technology to investigate a haunted house, a diverse cast and general haunting shenanigans that never truly get scary.

Honestly, I had a lot of fun with this book, though I will admit that I was more in to it because of the ghost hunting (they said Victorian ghost busting and I was there) than I was the romance. Though the characters are as fun and likable as I've come to expect from Hawk's work.

I'd also like to add that there is a surprising amount of stuff going on in this book - besides the haunting and the romance, we also get treated to a human culprit. And some surprisingly decent world building for the length of this book.
