Southern Spirits by Angie Fox

I was excited about this new series by an author I wasn't familiar with. I was not disappointed at all. The action started right off the bat as Verity inadvertently dumped the ashes of a long dead gangster into her rose bushes and somewhat tied his spirit to her and her house. She adjusts quickly and ends up working as a team with her ghost in order to save her home. In order to do so, Verity needs $20,000. Her quest to obtain the money leads her and her ghostly companion right to Ellis, the brother of Verity's lying cheating ex. Ellis sides with his family in their dispute with Verity but needs her help with a poltergeist. He agrees to pay her the money she needs if she can get rid of the violent spirit. With the help of Frankie, her ghost, Verity sets out to earn the money. In the meantime, she ends up spending a large amount of time with Ellis. Eventually, he begins to realize his preconceived notions about Verity are way off base. Sparks begin to fly, and a mutual attraction starts to develop. Danger, ghosts, and even a bit of romance can't stop Verity from doing everything in her power to save her house and take care of those she cares about. I really enjoyed the story and will definitely be waiting to check out the next book in the series! Net Galley provided a copy for review. :-)
