The Other Side of Midnight by Simone St. James

Guys and girls, this book was good – so good. However, this team has no clue what they’re in for they break some of Maddy’s rules… The feels were real, so hello, Rapunzel! Not only is the team there to document the troubled ghost of Maddy Clare, but also to get her out of haunting the Clares’ barn. However, Alistair hires her because the ghost that they are hunting reacts terribly to men – in her past life and the present. There’s the passionate and fun Alistair who everyone’s a little in love with and their fearless leader, Matthew the grumpy and scarred secretary and fixer, and Sarah Piper, the newest member of the team who has had no interaction with ghosts whatsoever. Let’s start with the basics: this book centers around a team of early 1900s ghost hunters. I had been dying for a good, gothic ghostie read for a while now, and after accidentally stumbling upon the Bookoutlet ghost sub-sub genre, I found this book and put it in the cart and discovered one of the best ghost reads I’ve read in a long, long time. It was one of those books you needed to put in your cart on Bookoutlet to get you to the limit for the coupon. Anyway, knowing this, I still do read a few because who knows – maybe I was wrong, maybe the review community was wrong about it for me personally, or I just want to read that genre of book even if it isn’t five crowns. However, there are just some books that I know aren’t going to be amazing or five crowns or going to knock my book socks off – actually, Disney socks since that’s what I have on right now. I once saw a reviewer say that she walked into every book thinking it was going to be a five star read or at least hoped it to be.

No way in book heck did I think that this book would wow me, it would become a favorite, and or move above a four crown star at most. Okay, I’m not going to lie – when I book walked my way into this book, I totally thought it was going to be a three crown read. The Haunting of Maddy Clare by Simone St.
