More than a Romance.
Thinking about this book, I really enjoyed reading it. The story features two writers, Penelope Skinner and Neil Storm. Both are Native American, and while Neil has broken into the field of most popular writers, Penelope has not. The two had a public argument at a book convention on how they treat writing about their culture, and since that Penelope has had writer’s block. So, she decides to attend a writer’s workshop being held in Scotland in a supposedly haunted castle. From this beginning, the plot develops into a ghostly mystery with no visible ghosts with a slow to develop romance. Colby Wilkens did a great job of creating two main characters and two supporting characters who are believable. The plot is straightforward in moving Pen and Neil from antagonism to a believable friendship. I have not seen another book that combines a mystery and a romance as the most important elements, but the author makes this work. A bit of Paranormal is worked into the story, but it adds to the main mystery. Hopefully the author will write more in this crossover style.
I received and ARC of the book from NetGalley, and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
