Rating: 3.5🌈
My Inherited House Might be Haunted by AJ Sherwood is a cute, no angst paranormal romance. It originally came about as a serialized story on the author’s Patreon site but has been updated and expanded.
The characters are adorable, there’s a inherited haunted house, along with ghosts (a family of ghosts which we never meet unfortunately), brownies, witches everywhere!
There’s so many interesting elements here pack together for a short story. Especially the familiars , a cat and puppy, that these characters never get fully developed into their elements. They are familiars in name only because they’re recognized by others as such. But do they talk or do things that we think of as being something familiars do? No. They do things that our cats and dogs do just as adorably mostly.
The romantic relationship is fast and the book length just doesn’t leave them much time for development of magical skills, new knowledge of how magic works, or other relationship areas. But the characters, Rhett and Calix and Calix’s family are so interesting that this story makes me wish for a sequel or expanded version.
Read My Inherited House Might be Haunted by AJ Sherwood for a delightful instant love paranormal tale!

Rhett’s inheritance of the gorgeous Victorian house was expected. What was not expected was:
- Two familiars
- A house full of ghosts
- Magic powers?!
- A new boyfriend, maybe, possibly, please and thank you
Now if he could just figure out how to handle everything, life would be peachy.
