Ghostly Embrace

Definitely recommend this book. It had me gripped from start to finish. A very powerful and captivating story. I kept thinking i knew which way it was going to turn with the characters and yet was completely wrong, very clever twists and turns. The descriptions of both the characters and the locations were so visual I felt I was there with them. I can't wait to read the sequel.

Brilliant book it was a real unexpected delight

To be honest I adore this book! The whole concept is everything I love and it was well managed! The characters and the story were on-point!

“Ghostly Embrace” starts off with the abrupt end of Louis, a craftsman, at the hands of his enraged wife and finds himself attached to the bed frame craving he made her his dear Sophia. Owner after owner he scared away before landing in the hands of Marina. Unlike anyone he has come across before, the single mother and 18th century ghost held more in common than they anticipated and an unlikely romance form. Once after her death, many many years later the heartbroken craftsman meets the new owner Katie, the possible reincarnation of his former beloved. From chapter one it became more than apparent how immersed I was by the story and the in depth characters Brenda Hurley created. Needless to say, I am glad that I decided to give this ghostly romance a chance because from beginning to the end I was left astonished by the phenomenal writing style, the history and in depth lead characters and secondary characters, and the well executed the ending that almost rendered me speechless.

I was so excited to get the advanced review of this. This book was so amazing!!!!! The world building and development was very well done. If I am not mistaken this was a debut book set in a new fantasy world and she did a great job on her first Fantasy book. I do believe she has a few other but not in YA. I can not wait to see where she goes from here. I loved the characters of the story. Louis is an 18th century carpenter who is murdered in the beautiful bed he created. As his soul refuses to go to the afterlife he is bound to the bed with his lifeblood on in and has to follow the bed through the centuries. This was a very ghostly love story that I really enjoyed. It may not be for everyone but It was a very light read and I needed light read from all the heavy stuff I have been reading.
