The Dead Romantics

This book is nothing short of magical!  Once I started it, I did not want to put it down.  Ashley Poston is a poetic genius, weaving a story of love, loss, and finding the person of your dreams in the most unconventional way.

From the quirky characters to the offbeat love story to the normal-for-them family dynamics to the glimmering thread of impossible love, she takes you on an emotional journey that will have you laughing one minute and reading through tears the next.

The Dead Romantics Summary

After escaping her closed-minded small town for New York, Florence has given up on the notion of true love even though she is a ghostwriter for a beloved romance author.

The deadline for her last contracted book is looming, she can’t write a story without killing off the hero, and her editor just denied her extension request. 

Things aren’t going well at all, but then Florence gets a call from her family that will change her life forever.

Ben is Florence’s new editor, and while he’s nice to look at, he’s also become her most recent nemesis. 

When he unexpectedly shows up at Florence’s family’s funeral home—not quite alive, mind you—Ben’s journey with Florence takes an unexpected and personal twist.

Slow Burn Paranormal Romance with Tons of Witty Banter

Chock full of witty banter, the small-town charm and unique plotline are good enough to eat with a spoon. 

Florence and Ben each experience traumatic events that force them to examine their lives and grow from what they learn.  Their development is fantastic, and the plot twists are amazing. 

Poston has given us a richly layered piece of literary gold, and I can’t wait to read more from her. 

If you enjoyed Six Feet Under’s humor, subject matter, and family dynamics, you will love The Dead Romantics. 

This is the kind of book I want to have in every format and revisit often.
