Harper delivers a delightful mix of magic, humor, and romance in the latest installment of the Starfall series. Caroline Wilton is trapped on Starfall Point, where her family has been cursed for generations. She still mourns the loss of her high school sweetheart to the curse, but when he returns as Dr. Ben Hoult and becomes involved in their magical world, Caroline’s feelings grow conflicted. As they investigate the curse and its ghostly origins, they may have a chance to break it and finally be together.
Harper’s characters are delightfully eccentric, with mischievous ghosts adding an unpredictable flair. The rekindled love between Caroline and Ben is tinged with nostalgia and unresolved emotions from their shared past. As they navigate their relationship, Ben’s children bring a playful element to the story.
Harper expertly balances the supernatural elements with the main romance, maintaining a brisk pace that keeps readers hooked. It’s refreshing to see Ben included in the supernatural secrets early on, especially as his own children seem to possess powers as well. The camaraderie between him and Edison from the first book adds a charming touch. The expanding mythology of Shadow House adds depth and intrigue while also strengthening the found family dynamic among the characters. This is a fun tale that’s as engaging as it is heartwarming.
