If I Stopped Haunting You by Colby Wilkens
5.0
Enemies to lovers spicy romance at a haunted Scottish castle??? Sign me up.
I absolutely devoured this book. Literally couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting (accidentally stayed up until 3am, whoops).
I think the author does a great job giving us a spicy romance while also bringing heart pounding horror. My biggest complaint overall is that the resolution to the haunting is pretty meh, but the romance was sweet (albeit a bit fast) so that made up for it.
The story had a bit of a slow start for me. It took a few chapters before I really got into it. I will also say that all of the characters definitely have flaws that get frustrating/repetitive. I've seen some reviews mention that the relationship was toxic but I disagree with that. I think that they have flaws and react in very human ways. Both of the MCs learn how to face their pasts and grow from their mistakes. Also great BIPOC and queer representation.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC of this book.
