Description

Basil Thorne loves the quiet sanctuary of his library, where the only spirits he deals with are the restless ghosts hiding between the stacks. As a witch living in the heart of Mt Eden, Basil prefers his magic kept small, orderly, and strictly under control. His peaceful routine is shattered when Sebastian, a rugged and persistent ghost hunter, crashes into his life with a mystery that demands his expertise. Sebastian is everything Basil is not: bold, chaotic, and dangerously charming. As they navigate a series of supernatural occurrences during the most festive time of the year, their professional friction quickly ignites into an undeniable attraction. Amidst the scent of old parchment and the chill of winter magic, the two men find themselves tangled in a holiday romance as unexpected as it is heartwarming. This cosy urban fantasy blends the charm of a small-town library with the thrill of paranormal investigation. It is a wholesome, fast-paced tale of opposites attracting, perfect for readers who enjoy soft magic, spectral secrets, and a slow-burn connection that feels like a warm fireplace on a cold night. Join Basil and Sebastian as they discover that sometimes, the most powerful magic is found in the company we keep.

Cute and short

Honestly my only complaint is a rather abrupt ending. But overall it was really really cute! Basil was adorable and I loved his and Sebastian's interactions. The ghost storyline was really sweet. I just would have liked a little more, especially right after they solved the mystery. What the reaction was to the state of the library and the letters. Things like that. Overall a solid cute magical story!

I loved this although I had to stop reading it at night

I evidently have a very overactive imagination and a low tolerance to read anything a little scary at night. I loved the story and can't wait to read the next one!

AWESOME!

This book was one that I read in one sitting - which isn't very common for me. Overdues and Occultism is a book that moves fast, but also takes time to build suspense. There's a really sweet romance that feels genuine, not at all forced. The majority of the book is set in a library which also worked super well. Being that the book is written by a New Zealand author, there was a lot of familiarity, almost like reading about a memory of an old friend. The ending, which I will not spoil, offered a brief but real look into some struggles people face to be themselves, which I enjoyed, too. Overall, I did really enjoy this book! Will certainly be reading more of Jamie Sands' books.
