Steffanie Holmes

    Steffanie Holmesová je autorkou pálčivých historických a paranormálnych romancí. Jej knihy sa vyznačujú dômyselnými, vtipnými hrdinkami, divokými zvieracími premenami, prefíkanými čarodejnicami a alfa samcami, ktorí si vždy vezmú to, čo chcú. Ako archeologička a kurátorka múzeí Holmesová rada skúma historické prostredia a staroveké poňatia lásky a vlastníctva, pričom fascinovane sleduje, ako môže láska prekvitnúť medzi najmenej pravdepodobnými postavami v rôznych dobách a miestach.

      You discover that the three hot AF ghosts who haunt your manor house are madly in love with you. What do you do? a. Run away screaming. b. Call a priest for an immediate exorcism. c. Get a little kooky and spooky with all three of them...together... I'm Bree Mortimer, and I chose option c. That's right - me and my three ghosts are a thing now. I'm officially a #ghostslut and I'm okay with it. And now that I've discovered I possess resurrection magic, I might just be able to bring them back to life again. That is if the dark priests of the Order of the Noble Death would stop raising serial killers from the dead to come after me. And if I can keep my parents and my ex-bully from discovering the truth about my ghostly powers. Oh, and I should probably figure out why it's impossible to admit that I have feelings for them. I want to jump their bones every second of the day, but when I try to say those three little words, I get seriously spooked. How can you fall in love with someone when they're already dead? Bree and her ghostly men are back for another spooky adventure in Ghoul As a Cucumber, book 3 of this darkly humorous cosy fantasy series by bestselling author Steffanie Holmes. If you love a sarcastic heroine, hot, possessive and slightly unhinged ghostly men, a mystery to solve, and a little kooky, spooky lovin' to set your coffin a rockin', then quit ghouling around and start reading!

      Nothing is permanent. Not even death. I'm Bree Mortimer, and I can bring ghosts back to life. The hot-as-Hades Roman Centurion in my bedroom is living proof that I can raise the dead. Now all I have to do is stop him swimming naked in the duck pond and trying to stab anyone with a man bun, and my life will be perfect. Hah. That's a joke. My life is a spooktacular failure. I've got two ghostly lovers who are desperate for me to bring them back, too, but if I don't figure out how to control my new magical powers, there could be grave consequences. And that's going to be difficult since the only person who can help me was ripped to pieces by a monster who can't possibly be human. Some dark power is after resurrection magic, and if I don't figure out how to stop it, I'm next. Luckily, with a sword-wielding psychotic ex-ghost, a sarcastic royal rake, a cinnamon roll Victorian gentleman, a sadistic bat, a vampire-slaying bookshop owner, and the village undertaker on my side, I stand a ghost of a chance.
