Texas Gothic

Texas Gothic

By Rosemary Clement-Moore

"Amy Goodnight knows that the world isn't as simple as it seems—she grew up surrounded by household spells and benevolent ghosts. But she also understands that "normal" doesn't mix with magic, and she's worked hard to build a wall between the two worlds. Not only to protect any hope of ever having a normal life.

Ranch-sitting for her aunt in Texas should be exactly that. Good old ordinary, uneventful hard work. Only, Amy and her sister, Phin, aren't alone. There's someone in the house with them—and it's not the living, breathing, amazingly hot cowboy from the ranch next door.

It's a ghost, and it's more powerful than the Goodnights and all their protective spells combined. It wants something from Amy, and none of her carefully built defenses can hold it back.

This is the summer when the wall between Amy's worlds is going to come crashing down." Courtesy of Goodreads

I adored this book. I loved the characters, especially Amy. I mean what girl hasn't accidentally ran around outside in their drawers? This girl just got lucky and the hot neighbor was there to see it. At least she tried to play it off like it was a bikini. After all of this has already happened, she winds up getting caught up in a big ghost scandal turned real scandal and is compelled (by magic duh) to help figure everything out and fix it. I love the chemistry between Amy and Ben, the neighbor boy. They argue and bicker. So, of course, the attraction is undeniable.

The ending left me wanting! What happened? GAH!
