If you’re a fan of the movie Just Like Heaven, you’ll love this ghostly love story.

Jillian Nijat can’t talk with men, so it’s the height of irony that she’s a love and relationship columnist for The Daily Exposé. However, minutes after she moves into her new NYC apartment, she’s startled by the appearance of a shirtless, gorgeous man named Daniel who insists that they know each other and that he isn’t dead. After the initial shock wears off, she suddenly realizes that she can speak with him. Although neither knows why he’s literally ghosting her, it’s clear that they can help each other out. He'll coach her on her dates (in a twisted Cyrano way) and with relationship advice that will help her keep her job, and she’ll figure out how to help him move on. What neither expects is that they’ll fall in love.

Like all Sarah Ready books, this romance is far from the norm. The dialogue is often poetic, the heartbreak is real, the narrative is full of twists you don’t see coming, and the message is that love transcends space and time. The main characters are fully fleshed-out (no pun intended), the secondary characters, including unsuccessful but heartfelt matchmaker Fran and Jillian’s co-workers at the paper, are perfect foils, and Daniel is a swoonworthy book boyfriend (except, you know, he’s dead). This one will keep you guessing right to the end, but it’s a journey you’ll want to take. The biggest bonus? Book 2, Switched, featuring Jillian’s best friend Serena, is available now, and Book 3, Fated, featuring Daniel’s half-sister Fiona, will be out in July. Highly recommended.

SWWWWWOOOOOOONNNNING!!! I will eat this trope until the day I die, then continue to read it. One is alive, the other from the other side… what could go wrong when feelings are involved

When dating and relationship journalist, Jillian moves into her new apartment, she quickly learns it is already occupied. Unable to speak to men, Jillian makes a friendship with the occupant, gorgeous and dead Daniel. Thinking this is his afterlife mission, he helps her on a journey to spark Jillian's love life. Chemistry between Daniel and Jillian heats up, but Jillian must face that she falls for someone she can never have.

This was a fun read and my first paranormal romance. The story is definitely a must-read rom-com. There was a moment where I was unsure about where the story was going, but Sarah Ready was great at bringing the story full circle and delivering a sweet romance between two people who are unable to have each other.

I was on the edge of my seat for most of this book! The story was unlike I’ve ever read before. I liked it and would recommend it to others. There were a couple of parts that were a bit weird to imagine for me personally but overall it was a great read.

I like this book, although it took me a little bit to get really into it. The characters are likeable and the story held my attention. I definitely rooted for them by the end!

Ghosted was the perfect book to get me out of a slight reading slump. I loved the woven together timelines and the whole premise of the book. The story follows Jillian, who moves into a new apartment where she discovers she is not alone (anyone's nightmare right?). However, her new roommate just so happens to be very much dead- Daniel doesn't remember much about his past excpet for he knows he knew Jullian when he was alive. Convinced that he must help Jillian resurrect her love life that has since tanked after losing a loved one, they strike an unlikely friendship. To help him move on Jillian tries to help Daniel remember as much as he can about his final moments. The banter, the slow burn, and the characters were so good! It was "Spock on" so to speak.

The ending sadly felt a wee rushed and I didn't quite understand why it ended the way it did. Sadly it left me confused and wanting more resolution besides a happily ever after.

Content warnings: some language and open door scenes.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book!

This is a cute, emotional paranormal story with fun characters and an intriguing plot that will keep you hooked on every page.

This started with a predictable feel: Our heroine, who cannot speak to men, is haunted by a shirtless, sexy ghost. The book started predictably and was cutely engaging. I thought I knew where this story was going but the plot twist surprised me.

The only reason for deducting a star was the pacing. It had its ups and downs and felt inconsistent. But other than that, Ghosted is undoubtedly a fun read.

This book has a fantastic premise and manages to fulfill it in a heartwarming and fun way. I really enjoyed the way the author developed the romance in this story and the theme of second chances throughout the book.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

This is a wonderful story! It's been a long time since I read a book that has kept me intrigued like this one. Knowing they should be together yet having the twists, turns, and unexpected events make you wonder if that's really supposed to happen. This story brings so many of my favorite things to life in one place. It was a pleasure and a heartache to read and I am so glad that it did!!! Amazing, thank you!

I loved the premise of this book and thought it was well done. The romance is sweet and I enjoyed the character arc of the protagonist.

I had more expectations for this one tbh. I read the French holiday and I loved it, so I went into this book kinda with the same expectations. It was ok. It was a bit slow for me, I felt like it dragged a bit but the concept was there and it was funny. The story is intriguing and it was nice to see fmc unfold (even if it was for a hot ghost 😂).

I enjoyed this one! I’ll be honest, I thought the plot was going to be predictable and that Daniel was going to be in a coma or something so when things were finally revealed I actually said “What!?” Jillian was a sweet character but I cringed so bad at the fact people kept setting her up and all she did was smile, nod and awkward chuckle on these dates. Talk about rough. I chuckled a ton at this scenario - like ahaha of course there’s a ghost in her new apartment and of course he is shirtless LOL. Overall, it’s a fun take on the whole I’m falling in love with a ghost haha but the blow up of this one definitely punches you in the feels, be warned.

I went back and forth between the ebook and audiobook for this one but ultimately enjoyed the narration so I did mostly audio!

A huge thanks to W. W. Crown and Netgalley for the ARC and ALC. All opinions are my own.

I love a paranormal romance, and went in completely blind with this book, and I was so delighted to find that it was a sweet romance between Jillian and a ghost named Daniel who resides in her apartment. It was magical and I loved the theme of second chances.

I paired the book with audio and loved the immersive reading style.

*many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review

This book was not what I expected. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t anything that happened in this book.

Jillian was a dating expert, but she couldn’t talk to real, living men. I say living because she ended up communicating with Daniel, the ghost living in her new apartment. I got very invested in their story, because it was obvious they were falling for each other. But they couldn’t be together because he wasn’t alive. I mean, they couldn’t touch or anything. And I just wanted to know how they were going to get their HEA.

Then there was that whole twist when Daniel disappeared. And then reappeared…differently. But his reappearance was good and not-so-good for Jillian. It made me even more invested in how they would get their HEA.

This was a cute and heartwarming story. Jillian learned how to talk to men, and she got more confidence in not only talking to them, but in just being herself.

Paranormal love stories have always been my favorite, but this one really takes the cake. It is heartwarming and emotional. we follow Jillian who writes a dating and relationship advice column but struggles with speaking to men in real life. However, Daniel, the drool worthy ghost residing in her apartment seems to be the only exception. He makes it his goal to help her through her struggles in hopes of finally moving on himself. But as the two grow more comfortable and familiar with each other, a hapless. connection begins to blossom. They can never truly be together, since he is dead and she is not. When Daniel suddenly becomes absent from Jillians life, she spirals into almost madness and begins questioning everything.

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

I’m a little back up on my ARC list but trying to play catch up! I’m sad that I didn’t get to this one sooner! It was such a cute, endearing, magical romance story and I’ll be waiting patiently for the next book in the series. I really like the main characters meet cute and how there were magical elements and science fiction woven in! And if you’re a Trekkie, you need to read this book ASAP!

Talk about a spirited love story, with a twist!! Ghosted is a magical journey through love, forgiveness, and second chances. If you're a fan of witty banter, unexpected connections, and paranormal twists, this book is a must-read.

Meet Jillian Nejat. She’s a dating and relationship expert who has an unusual problem: she can't speak to men. If they're alive and breathing, it's game over. Her career is in shambles, her bank account empty, and her dating life nonexistent. When she moves into a tiny NYC apartment, she discovers it's already occupied! And by a sexy, shirtless, six-pack-wielding ghost named Daniel .

Daniel isn't just any ghost; he's the only man Jillian can talk to. He becomes her unlikely confidant, and soon he's convinced that his afterlife mission is to resurrect Jillian's love life. If he helps her fall in love, he can finally move on. Jillian agrees, despite the oddity of having a sexy ghost as her wingman.

As practice dates turn into something more, Jillian fears she's falling for a man she can never truly have. Daniel, with his hidden depths and undeniable charm, becomes more than just a ghostly companion. Their chemistry sizzles, and their emotional connection transcends the realms between the living and the dead.

Jillian's quirky innocence pairs well with Daniel's enigmatic allure, and Ready weaves a delightful blend of humour, heart, and romance. The novel's time-bending logic adds intrigue, along with the engaging plot and endearing characters. This all combines to keep readers invested beyond the last page turn.

Thank you to NetGalley and The Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) for a temporary e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

10/10!!! Absolutely loved and enjoyed this book that I also listened to as an audiobook! I DNF it a while ago because I picked it up at the wrong time, I’m a mood reader, and I’m so glad I gave it another chance! It was fantastic and Daniel is more than welcome to come and ghost me! Thanks
