Publisher's summary

Step into the mysterious world of weird Florida, where surprises and spirits are as common as sun and sand….

Amelia Matthews never anticipated inheriting a hotel in in a small southern town, but life's twists and turns have led her to the Sunshine State. Under the hotel's quirky, rundown façade lie haunting secrets—an unsolved murder and a restless spirit who keeps turning off the air conditioner. In the summer. In Florida.

From the moment Amelia reluctantly walks through the door of the Crescent Moon Inn, she embarks on an unwelcome spectral adventure. Her companions on this eerie journey include the sassy feline Freddie Purrcury, the overly enthusiastic and hilarious Liz with her New Age bookstore, and the charmingly handsome local historian, Oliver.

Then Amelia discovers her hidden psychic abilities. As spooky happenings escalate, she can't help but wish for a few minutes of peace. And maybe a margarita.

She faces a decision: sell the inn, and run, or embrace her new destiny as a paranormal sleuth. In this spine-tingling cozy mystery, Amelia Matthews unravels the secrets of the inn's haunted past while navigating psychic powers, an ornery cat, and a quirky crew of new friends. If she doesn’t solve the mystery, she just might become the inn's next ghostly inhabitant….

Join Amelia in a captivating, laugh-out-loud adventure as she embarks on a quest to uncover the truth, and you'll find yourself immersed in a world where the line between the ordinary and the supernatural blurs.

Couldn't stop listening!

I absolutely loved this book so much. It made me want to move back to Florida, only closer to Cassadaga. If I could find a group of friends the way she did, I would be a happy soul.

Fun Start to a New Series

This was an entertaining start to a new series with a quirky but likeable set of characters, a haunted hotel, and perhaps a budding romance. Amelia is a likeable woman of a certain age whose "gift" is an interesting one that is not seen often in cozy mysteries. Ms. Lush does a good job of portraying Amelia's gradual recognition and acceptance of her ability, and the paranormal in general, with a promise of more to come as she learns to utilize it. I found the mystery adequate, but I hope that now that the introductions are done, there will be a more well plotted mystery in the next book. I look forward to finding out and to spending more time with Amelia and her new found posse.

Really fun read

This was a really fun story, a little bit of humor, a little bit of mystery, a hint of of romance and a healthy dose of whimsy.

Great characters

Old mystery solved

Fun listen with mix of friendship, magic, romance

I completely enjoyed listening to this book with a little mystery, a touch of magic, and fun, quirky and loveable characters. The narrator gave a fantastic performance that really brought the characters to life, so I am glad I opted to listen on audible versus reading the ebook or print book. I enjoy a light-hearted mystery with a happy ending, so I know I'll listen to the next books in the series when they are released.
