Troupes: Ghost Story

Better Homes and Hauntings is vastly different from anything else that Molly Harper has written. This stand alone doesn't really have any supernatural creatures like her Half Moon Hollow, Jane Jamerson, Naked Werewolf, or Mystic Bayou. This book is more like a ghost story, I wouldn’t really call this book a paranormal romance since the romance isn't between anyone paranormal. I would compare this book to Nora Roberts In the Garden series, which I also really love. Molly Harper also has a YA paranormal romance series called Sorcery and Society and two contemporary romance series called Bluegrass and Southern Eclectic.

There are many things different about this book compared to Molly Harper’s normal writing. IE there are multiple couples coming together in this book, the book is written in many POV’s including both couples and the cousin and the ex, and I hate to say it but not up to her normal standards of humor. The multiple POVs are interesting but a bit confusing in the audiobook, there isn't much of a transition between the different POVs so sometimes it took me a minute before figuring out who was thinking/ talking which detracted from the story.

I did super enjoy the ghost story and the comparison to the current day house guests. I didn’t fall in love with any of the main characters but I did really love the pop culture references. I also really loved the obsession with Greek Mythology throughout and the multiple comparisons. In the end I felt like this story was really good but I don't think it will ever go on my favorites list and I will rarely if ever reread this book unlike all of Molly Harper's other books which I reread often.
