THE KINDRED SPIRITS SUPPER CLUB by Amy E. Reichert is a standalone contemporary romance with a paranormal twist. This storyβs POV alternates between characters β Sabrina Monroe, Ray Jasper, and Molly the friendly ghost. Sabrina is living at the family home in Wisconsin while sheβs in between jobs and trying to make some quick cash to pay down her student debt. Ray is mourning the recent loss of his Uncle Harry and building up a supper club heβs named The Otter Club. Molly is floating around, as she has been for years, helping Sabrina and her family and longing for her own resolution. This is an intriguing story with flawed yet relatable characters, and a fun romantic flow.
Although Sabrina loves her family, she was not psyched to be back. Women in her family can see and communicate with spirits, helping them find some resolution before passing on. This can be extremely inconvenient, and always made Sabrina feel isolated from others. Her anxiety proves to be something of a struggle when it comes to working and making new connections. Even though Sabrina tries very hard to avoid most human interactions, Ray falls into her life and falls for her quickly. As Molly says, they have a fab βmeet-cuteβ. It seems like fate keeps throwing Ray and Sabrina together. Ray is such a sweetie and full of nice-guy charm. Even though is obviously smitten with Sabrina, heβs not pushy or obnoxious about it. More so than actual ghosts, Sabrina finds herself haunted by jerks from her younger days β her ex and mean girl extraordinaire-now her exβs fiancΓ© and her temporary boss. Yikes! In addition to the divine romance vibes, Sabrina struggles to make peace with her past, and figure out where she wants to go with her future. There is a fabulous amount of flirting in this quirky courtship, and it doesnβt fail to entertain. As much as I love Ray, he learns a few things about women and relationships as the story progresses but is relatively quick to correct his mistakes.
THE KINDRED SPIRITS SUPPER CLUB is an entertaining tale full of fascinating characters β both corporeal and ethereal β with a charming romance. Mollyβs secondary storyline is sweet and didnβt take anything away from Sabrina and Rayβs romance. The ending in THE KINDRED SPIRITS SUPPER CLUB is very emotionally powerful and made me a tad weepy but in a good way. I look forward to reading Amy E. Reichertβs next book.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
