LoveReading Says
Florence Day is an enigmatic main character with a lot on her plate. A romance Ghostwriter who believes love is dead, we follow her story and find out it is...sort of. When Florence has to return home after a family tragedy she's haunted (literally) by her good looking but stern and oh-so tall new editor, Benji. As sparks fly between them, will Florence be able to stop herself from the inevitable heartbreak of falling for a Ghost?
A book filled with both tender, heartbreaking moments interspersed with warmth and wit-filled banter. Dead Romantics is a spookily good read if you love puns and want a sweet, feel-good romance.

Florence Day is a ghost-writer with one big problem. She's supposed to be penning swoon-worthy novels for a famous romance author but, after a bad break-up, Florence no longer believes in love. And when her strict (but undeniably hot) new editor, Benji Andor, won't give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye.
When tragedy strikes and Florence has to head home, the last thing she expects to see is a ghost at her front door. Not just any ghost, however, but the stern form of her still very hot - yet now unquestionably dead - new editor.
As sparks start to fly between them, Florence tells herself she can't be falling for a ghost - even an infuriatingly sexy one. But can Benji help Florence to realise love isn't dead, after all?
If you fell in love with Funny Story, This Spells Love and The Hating Game, this laugh-out-loud romance will sweep you away.

Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
'The Dead Romantics takes so many things I love-quirky heroines, found families, cozy small towns, fanfics, GHOSTS (!!!)-and gives them all a fresh, fun, thoroughly modern spin. This is truly a RomCom to die for!'
Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of Reckless
