Festering Romance by Renee Lott

This Book Is About

Janet dreams of a quiet, drama-free college life with her best friend, Paul. Unfortunately, Paul’s dead, and Janet’s only living friends are first-class busybodies Hanging out with a ghost might seem exciting, but Janet and her ghost-pal Paul make hermits look social.

When Janet’s meddling friend Freya forces her out on yet another blind date, Janet’s running for the hills…until romance blossoms. However, instead of love bringing the fledgling couple together, it’s all the things they have in common that keep them apart. Whether it’s ghosts of the past or ghosts of the present, will the young couple let their pasts haunt them forever, or will they find a way to heal their festering romance?

Evil Lurks in Glitter

“Look at all these books; what should I buy to read? Hm, ‘Higher Jinx’. Oooo, look at all that glitter on the cover. And such bright colors. What’s the back say? ‘Lady X has a new secondhand shop and a secondhand new man – he’s the ghost of the former owner and he wants Lady X & revenge’ well, this’ll be a cute, quick little light read. Right?”

Wrong!

Beware, oh book lovers, for one of the latest fads in cover design is giving boldly colored covers accented with glitter to grimmer paranormal fiction. Lure in the woo-woo crowd with a pretty circus poster and, before they know where they are, you’ve got them reading one of horror’s latest mild-mannered red-haired stepchildren.

Melodramatic? Where?
