My review:????
Southern Spirits: 5th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set by Angie Fox (Southern Spirits 1, 1.5 and 2)
Southern Spirits is the first book in the series, and introduces us to Verity Long, who is in the process of selling everything she has so she can pay back her former future mother-in-law after stood him up at the alter. She is desperate to try to keep a hold of the family home, and so is willing to do anything to get some money. When she manages to trap a ghost on her property, who is also eager for her to keep it, he lets her see the ghostly side of things, which can help when people have problems!
A Ghostly Gift is book 1.5, so a novella between books 1 and 2. Verity is asked by her sister to help a friend out who has a resale shop (like a pawn shop), and so Verity and Frankie, her dead gangster friend, are going to investigate, and maybe get some furniture for the house out of it!
The Skeleton in the Closet has Verity and Frankie investigating a dead body, found in the library, which is a very old building, so there are lots of ghosts as potential witnesses! There are secrets that someone is willing to kill to keep, and so Verity is going to have to watch her back!
These are an enjoyable cosy fantasy crime series, and as you can tell, I’m always happy to pick up one in the series!
