Fiorentina “Fio” Valentine, is the witch successor of her Great Grandma Jane. She hears noises but has always thought they were something else. After her last three employers have gone bankrupt or burned, she has a dream that her Great Grandma is telling her to apply for a job in the city with Quest Realty. After her first interview she is grabbed by a ghost who wants to throw her off of a bridge. She is saved by one of the interviewers, Jack Adams. Jack is the director of H & H Marketing (Haunted and Hexed), a division of Quest Realty. Fio receives a letter for a second interview which includes an aptitude test. Part of the test is staying in an apartment overnight to see if it is haunted and if a ghost is scaring people away.
Fio does meet the ghost and what occurs during the night with the ghost will bring a sympathetic Fio to the rescue.
This is a quick read and is a good start to a new series. I received an ARC of this book. This is my honest review.
Great start to a new series!
I loved the premise of this new series. Our main character can see ghosts, whether she wants to admit it or not! Which really seems to be part of the problem. And not your Jackie type of ghosts either. These are your mean kind of ghosts! Fio is tested to see if she can rid an apartment of a ghost so her new employees can rent it out. Is this job too good to be true or will it kill her?? Can’t wait for the next book!
I received an ARC. This is my honest review.
A new series! This is a fun paranormal mystery. The background was built for the new story line and the stage was set with great characters. Fio is a witch, although she did not know it, she did not know she could see ghosts and interact with them. She knew her great grandma Jane was a self-proclaimed witch but not why she named Fio as her successor. Fio will now learn why and it will be a very bumpy ride. The story is great and so very entertaining. A truly fun story that I am looking forward to reading more about.
Flo is in desperate need of a job. She has her grandmother’s ghost pestering her about one in a real estate company, Quest Realty. With really no choice in the matter, Flo applies for the job. But there are certain ‘requirements’ she must do for the job. Can she ‘suck it up’ and get the job done? It’s all in this wonderfully written story by Lotta Smith. Great characters, funny storyline, it’s all here in this book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Lotta Smith has done it again with this new series. I absolutely love Fio! She’s had stuff going on her whole life with the paranormal and just explained it away with logic. Silly girl! I am sure I’m going to love this series as much as the others and I can’t wait for more!
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
After a series of bad days, Fio is looking forward to a promise of a new job.
The catch: She had to solve the mystery of the unrentable apartment.
Fio has to spend a night on a “haunted” apartment, and found out why no one wants to rent the apartment.
Is Fio up to the job ?
Read the book to find out. LOL
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
It showed great potential!
Fio doesn’t know it, but she can see ghosts. And her new, potential employer sees this and exploits this. But we’re not talking the sweet Jackie kind of ghost, but the scary horror kind of poltergeist.
A very lighthearted, bubbly story. Maybe just a bit too fluffy? And Fio says she’s on the dense side for most things a bit too often? But I enjoyed it! I liked it. Fun, intriguing! With some horror-y moments, so brace yourself! Although the pacing was a bit too slow when she was in that apartment. It took too long for something to actually happen. And I would have liked (how can I say this without it being a spoiler?) to hear about Mom and son being together. I hope that’s vague enough. It felt a bit unfinished.
But it showed great potential! This could become a great series!
