Poor Jaime.
After swearing off televised specials (b/c of the fiasco that the last one was in No Humans Involved), she gets roped into doing another one, but hopes to mitigate the potential fallout by including very specific demands in her contract.
Alas, she is thwarted . . .
SO. Apparently there are lots of WotO fans who hate Jaime. I'm not one of them. If you are, you might want to skip this one, but if you're on the fence . . . it might help you understand her a bit better. It offers insight into her and Jeremy's relationship, specifically, his influence helping her save the self-deprecation for the Hollywood types, which in turn explains why she does it all.
Beyond that, it was creeptastic. Seriously. Ghosts are never my thing, but this time . . . like I said, CREEPY.
Definitely worth a shot for the die-hard fan.
SIDENOTE: there are illustrations in a lot of Armstrong's novellas, and I've mostly found them to be . . . distracting. Not this time. Ever since I binge watched Bitten on Netflix, I haven't been able to get passed how creeped out I was by the actor playing Jeremy. While I found the sexy times to be a bit awkward, I definitely appreciated the pic of a very non-creeptacular Jeremy--it helped me break out of the mindset.

As far as booktok recs go this one isn’t terrible. It’s set in a modern fantasy world—think Crescent City—and in that same vein there are a myriad of As far as booktok recs go this one isn’t terrible. It’s set in a modern fantasy world—think Crescent City—and in that same vein there are a myriad of supernatural creatures which is always interesting. BUT. Everything about it is meh. The plot is meh, the MCs are meh, the side characters are meh, so much meh.
I’m not mad about reading it. Mostly b/c I listened to the audiobook while doing various crafty things. If I’d sat down and read it, I’d have probably quit.
SO. If you want something marginally entertaining that you won’t be upset about it you get distracted this is a good option. That’s the best I can say about it....more
