We follow Della, who’s lived in her small town her entire life. But she’s seen as the freak of the town. Because she’s a medium, she has the ability to see and talk to the dead. And then we see the Henson brothers move into town, inheriting the old rundown mansion. We get to see the perspective of one of the brothers, Diedrick who’s immediately drawn to Della. Della feels it too, but she also starts to see more spirits whenever she’s around him or his brother. Things intensify the more time she spends with them and Della feels the need to figure out why.
I adored Della, I felt for her the more we get to know her and what she experienced growing up being a medium. And despite all that, she is such a sweet person. I especially loved how she lost herself around Diedrick, her thoughts were so entertaining to follow.
And speaking of Diedrick, this hottie was so swoon worthy. I loved how he tried to win Della’s affection. Their budding relationship was so cute! I loved reading every minute of it. Oh! And things get hot ‘n’ spicy around them too! We see several intense moments between these two lovebirds that will surely make you blush! And knowing this is the start of a series I can’t wait to see what’s in store next for Della and Diedrick.
