Review

So in love with this series, where Jetty and Chance may be the central love interest, it’s really about the entire group of family and friends navigating a world of ghosts and magic. Together, they are the most amazing, loving, and capable group of people. I love their eagerness to learn and discover, and the care they take with other humans and ghosts alike.

It’s a cozy, sweet, and fun read.

Synopsis

Running a haunted B&B was never going to be simple—but with love, magic, and a little help from their spooky crew, Chance and Jetty are learning to weather every storm.

Life at Willowhope Manor is finally coming together. With the ancient spell broken and the spirits (mostly) behaving, Chance and Jetty are building something real—both in their relationship and in the newly opened B&B.

But peace and quiet never last long in Willowhope.

Old boyfriends resurface. New visions strike without warning. And the mysterious Beckoning Pond behind the manor is hiding secrets that refuse to stay buried.

As spectral disturbances grow stronger, the couple must rely on their growing found family—a meddlesome crew of mystics, mediums, and fiercely loyal friends—who are always ready to battle the supernatural, brew emergency tea, and deliver some brutally honest relationship advice.

The B&B may have its quirks. The town may be cursed. But love? That might just be the strongest magic of all.

Romance, mystery, and heart collide in this cozy paranormal continuation of the Willowhope series—where found family saves the day, the dead don’t stay quiet, and happily ever after comes with a few ghosts attached. The Secrets of Willowhope is a swoony novella series with a fun dose of supernatural.

About Sammi Cee

Sammi Cee was raised in a family of readers. Summer vacations consisted of a good book while sitting lakeside from as far back as she could remember. After growing up and having her own children, her appreciation of how the written word could transport you on an adventure, bring you to tears, or give you hope, took on a whole new meaning.

These days Sammi is watching her children develop into fine young ladies while doing the things she enjoys most: drinking coffee, eating chocolate, and writing her own stories.
