About this listen
When a fortieth birthday celebration leads to a ghostly visitor, four friends find themselves navigating surprising mysteries and spiritual hijinks, in this clever debut from Melissa Holtz.
Alyssa Mann isn’t adventurous, not since her husband died and she found herself the single mom of a teenage daughter. But there’s no way to avoid celebrating the big 4-0, so when her best friends drag her out for drinks and a tarot reading, she throws caution to the wind and decides to see what the spirits have to say. It’s all fun and games, until she wakes up the next morning with a wicked hangover—and a ghost perched on the edge of her bed.
Sheer panic sends her running to get help from Nick West, the (very attractive) detective who lives next door. When he finds no one inside, Alyssa has to accept that she really did see a ghost. As the dearly departed keep appearing, Alyssa and her friends do their best to learn how to control her newfound power. Trading insults with ghosts, tracking down family heirlooms, and getting closer to the skeptical but helpful Nick is more fun than Alyssa imagined. But when looking into one ghost’s past reveals unexpected—and unwelcome—facts about Alyssa’s late husband’s death, she discovers she just may be in over her head.

Story
I'm twenty-six years old, and I want to die. So when I wake up at the hospital with my brother weeping over me, I know my life is about to change. What I didn't expect was to get a nurse with cruel eyes and a morbid sense of humor that surpasses my own. I'm even more surprised when I arrive at Harlow Sanctum and realize that my brother selected an unorthodox rehabilitation center that rooms people based on their treatment plan. And my roommate is none other than the man with cruel eyes I met the day prior.

Critic reviews
"Part rom-com, part ghost story, part love story, and all heart. This is a fun novel with a little bit of everything for everyone."—Red Carpet Crash
“An Enchanting Case of Spirits is a book I would typically classify as a cozy mystery, but this book definitely has more teeth than your average book in that genre. Still, it has all the right ingredients including romance, mystery, murder, and even a collection of opinionated ghosts.”—Game Vortex
"An Enchanting Case of Spirits by Melissa Holtz is a must-read. Its blend of cozy mystery and paranormal abilities is a recipe for a captivating read that will keep you turning the pages long into the night.”—Tessa Talks Books

A Fun Cozy Mystery!!
I LOVED THIS!!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!
This story had me from the get go and I didn’t want it to end!! It’s a Cozy Mystery filled with so much goodness!! It is emotional because the FMC lost her husband in an accident they were both in two years earlier. She is still mourning his loss, of course. Now it’s her 40th birthday and her friends want to take her out, she forces herself to go and it ends up changing her life in enormous ways!!
The characters are so real and so likable. The FMC’s friends, the ghosts and the sexy cop neighbor. This was so much fun!! I need book two!! Highly recommended!! And the narrators were FANTASTIC!!

More interesting at the end than where it started
I feel like this might have been better if I had read it instead of listened to it. It took awhile to get going and was fairly predictable till it hooked me. But the premise did end up being unique and I found myself wondering what would be next. It definitely ended with a cliffhanger and I think despite my better judgement I’ll end up listening when it comes out.
