Fun paranormal romance

It’s another one of these where the male love interest is overly protective and controlling of the main character, but you’ll like it if you’re into that sort of thing.

I feel like this was written for me specifically. It checks all my boxes — enemies to lovers, adorkable main characters, callbacks to the original Cinderella story.

Captivating enemies to lovers story
Reviewed: 03-01-23
The underlying war in the story drives up the stakes and makes the reader (listener?) more invested in the main characters.

Story
Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent photography skills have cracked many cases—she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. As a lone portal back to the living for traumatized spirits, Rita is terrorized by nagging ghosts who won’t let her sleep and who sabotage her personal life.

I enjoy dark crime stories. This was one of the first books I’ve ever listened to with a Native main character and will be on the lookout for more.

Story
Working at a dead-end retail job in the middle of nowhere can be hard. The long hours. The helpless customers. The enormous eldritch horror living deep below the building. As the only full-time employee at the 24 hour gas station at the edge of town, Jack has pretty much seen it all. But when he decides to start an online journal documenting the bizarre day-to-day occurrences, he unwittingly attracts the attention of much more than just a few conspiracy theorists.

Highly recommend for anyone who has ever had a terrible retail job and secretly wished to be hit by a bus so you wouldn’t have to go anymore.

Soon after her best friend, Kitty, mysteriously dies, orphaned 17-year-old Molly Green is sent away to live with her "aunt". With no relations that she knows of, Molly assumes she has been sold as a maid for the price of an extra donation in the church orphanage's coffers. Such a thing is not unheard of. There are only so many options for an unmarried girl in 1850s Philadelphia. Only, when Molly arrives, she discovers her aunt is very much real, exceedingly wealthy, and with secrets of her own. Secrets and wealth she intends to share - for a price.

Basically my favorite YA / NA genre is “witty redheaded protagonist who lives to defy the patriarchy.”
