“Sweet Miz Dolly Parton and all that is gay and holy…”
I am truly loving every entry in the ExorSquad series, and I am loving seeing how each author approaches this ghostie-filled world.
Callum is a grumpy Scott and former Detective Inspector for the Met who can see ghosts after a career-ending accident. Beau is Jennifer Love Hewitt wrapped in Southern charm and a bowtie, who’s talked to ghosts his entire life. When Callum’s first ExorSquad case crosses with Beau’s first trip to London, the sparks are immediate, and you can’t help but think, “this is fate.”
I really loved how comfortable Beau is being himself. It was fun to see his sunshine-y forwardness bump up against Calum’s closed-off nature (I came in like a wrecking ball…), and how his sparkle was the last thing Calum needed for his new life. He's lived with ghosts his entire life and can offer Callum a unique comfort in this new world.
The haunting here was a sad but touching story. While the idea of disco ghosts had me cracking up, I appreciated the contrast of queer life in the 1970s and our supernatural experts’ focus on helping the ghosties get the justice they deserved so they could move on happily.

I received an advance copy of this book from the author at no charge. This is my honest, voluntary review.
