But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian, the less he wants to let him leave. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts: This book was a nice surprise for me. I had seen it on the shelves and had not been drawn to it at all. Once I started reading it though, I couldn't put it down. I love the support and acceptance between Maritza and Yadriel, and then when you throw Julian into the mix it just makes it more interesting. The book has a little romance, a little mystery, and a little thriller - all with ghosts! This one gets five stars from me.
