Allison’s Book Report:“Good Spirits ” By B.K. Borison

Happy Holidays, readers of Fallon! We have made it through Christmas, and we are in what I call “The Un-Week" - the week between Christmas and the New Year, where we have no idea what day it is and time slows down. What a perfect time to cuddle up and squeeze in one last holiday romance novel! This week's pick is something fun and different from the holiday fan favorite, B.K. Borison. Fans of Borison's Lovelight series will recognize the cozy, romantic vibes, but Good Spirits has a paranormal twist that you will not be able to put down! 

Good Spirits is a familiar holiday tale that follows Harriet York, a total people-pleaser who owns a charming antiques shop called The Crow’s Nest. Harriet is the kind of person who does everything right but still feels like she is waiting for her “real” life to begin. Her world gets flipped upside down on the first of December when a rugged, mustachioed, and incredibly grumpy Irishman named Nolan Callahan appears in her living room. The catch? Nolan has been dead for a long time – because he is a literal Ghost of Christmas Past.

​Nolan is there on an official assignment from the “Department of Hauntings” to help Harriet face her past and “mend her ways.” The problem is, Harriet is not exactly a Scrooge. She is kind and sweet and definitely does not seem like someone who needs a ghostly intervention. As they journey through her memories together, they both start to realize there has been a massive cosmic mix-up.

​As the “haunting” continues, the chemistry becomes undeniable. Nolan is the ultimate “grumpy protector” who has not felt anything in centuries, and Harriet is the first person to truly see him in every sense of the word. They deal with toxic family dynamics, Harriet’s struggle to stand up for herself, and the looming deadline of Christmas Eve - because when the clock strikes midnight, Nolan is supposed to disappear forever.

​It is a beautiful, high-stakes story about soulmates, grief, and the idea that it is never too late to start living for yourself. You get all the cozy Christmas vibes, complete with mistletoe, falling snow, and peppermint - mixed with a “he falls first” energy that is absolutely top-tier. It is spicy, it is emotional, and it proves that sometimes the best things in life (and the afterlife) are the ones we never saw coming.

It is time for you to grab a copy of this one last holiday love story and lean in to “The Un-Week"!! No need to know what day it is when you are cuddled up with a great story like this one! Do not forget to pop over to my Instagram @allison.the.reader for more recommendations and book talk!
