Bianca, a timid and shy university student, has no choice but to step outside her comfort zone to seek answers to her ghostly problems. The only problem is that, because of what she finds, she now has more questions than before. The things I see aren’t for the faint of heart. And I am no longer willing to ignore them. Not even when my family, and my best friend, tell me to keep quiet about what’s … and my best friend, tell me to keep quiet about what’s happening. They say people will think I’m crazy.
Maybe I am.
But the spirit haunting my professor’s house is definitely trying to tell me something, and I’m the only one who can see it.
The one person who can help me is my best friend’s brother. But I don’t know if I can trust him or his friends. Or if I can step outside the protective bubble I’ve built around myself.
At this point it’s a toss up: the ghosts will kill me or my panic attacks will.
Either way, I figure I’m going to die.
This bundle includes The Grimm Cases books one through three, the Home novella, and bonus scenes from the guy’s point of view.

This book was long, but totally worth it! The premise that a very sheltered girl who, for most of her life, thought she was mentally sick has actually had the powers to see/interact with ghosts. Now as she discovers what she is capable of, she is overwhelmed and trying to figure out who to trust, what is real, and where she fits in with four, powerful attractive men.
It was a big page-turner for sure and while many different things happen, there are still so many more unanswered questions that I am dying to find the answers to!
Fans of reverse harems, which stay clean, are packed with magic, and hold the most quirky characters are going to enjoy this one quite a bit.
Bianca is a very, very, very shy and sheltered person, who follows her one and only best friend to college. He’s not only her world but her support, since she was diagnosed with a psychological disorder years ago, one that has her seeing ghosts. But she’s not so sure the supernatural isn’t real, especially when a ghost isn’t only haunting her but has physically left its marks. Hoping he’ll help, she tries to tell him what’s going on. To no avail. So, she seeks out his brother…a guy she doesn’t know but heard he does dabble in those types of things. Little does she know that this one small step outside of her comfort zone is about to make her entire life flip-flop in ways no one could have predicted. And then some.
This is not a series to be read and expected a normal thinking heroine. Bianca is quirky and has the oddest thoughts at the oddest times. Add that she’s been more than sheltered her entire life, and she made my eyebrows raise more than dozens of times. But that’s what makes her so much fun. The guys she befriends are ridiculous in their own ways, and it makes for the strangest group…and a very fun one, at that. Just don’t expect logical behavior, and you’ll enjoy this one quite a bit.
The plot moves along very well through the books, for the most part. I did wonder when book three still had the same settings as book one, and some plot threads seemed to pull out longer than necessary, but I still enjoyed reading this one and couldn’t put it down. There are very unexpected twists, and while some of the intrigue is solved, there’s still so much to go on the continuing books (which I haven’t read yet). And yet, it’s simple in it’s own way and holds just as much humor as it does romance or danger and action. It’s simply an odd mix that weaves the entertainment level perfectly.
As to the romance, it’s a slow-burn. Somewhat. Kind of. As said, this is a clean read up to this point, and while there are definitely hints at much stronger things possible in the future, Bianca’s issues keep a lot at bay. Since this is a young adult read, I appreciate that.
But if you’re a fun of reverse harem to the point of going super past cliche and a heroine, who is out there in the corniest and most wonderful way, and you love magical intrigue and ghosts and even deadly tension….well, this one fulfills all of that.
I received a complimentary copy and end up loving it so much more than I expected I would.
This is a terrific box set. It has the first 3 books. Plus bonus scenes/POVs from the first 2 books and the precursor novella. This series is one I have re-read several times and each time I pick up clues I missed before. I love Bianca’s wild but semi-true theories and how she shakes up the guys lives. You should definitely check this one out!
This is a great way to get the series with it having the first 3 books the novella and bonus chapters all in one place for non stop reading.
I love lylas books and I love the fact that she put them all into one book and with some extras. What is not too love. I can’t wait to see where this story goes. Great job lyla
