I was remiss in actually writing a review when I finished the book originally, so I thought I would rectify that since I revisited it via audiobook. 

To start, I 100% want to vacation in Boneyard Key. I want cinnamon banana bread from Hallowed Grounds and I want fried chicken from The Haunt. If this were a real place, I know where I'd be jetting off to this spring.

I loved Cassie because I deeply connected with her on a variety of things: hazelnut lattes, cinnamon in banana bread, feeling friends move beyond you, reconciling a life without motherhood (whether desired or not), and the love of good Buffalo chicken tenders.

Nick...what can I say about Nick other than he sounds like the hot barista of my dreams? I enjoyed being able to follow his growth over the course of the story, and the way it helped deepen his connection with Cassie.

There's a slight drag in the middle of the book, but it's a fun way to spend some time whenever you're in the mood for ghosts and coffee.
