THE GHOST OF YOU was a wonderful surprise for me. This is the first book I have read by Tori Fox and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try, because this author knows how to weave a good story. The characters are complex and interesting and I was immediately drawn into their world.
Noah is a broody cop with ghosts from his past that has him stuck just going through the motions of his life. He lives next door to Anna, who also has lots of baggage from her past.
Noah and Anna bring out the best in each other as they slowly get to know each other and let down their guard. Sparks fly whenever these two are together, but they are careful with their hearts and it takes them a while for them to let go. They both have issues from their past they need to work through before they can move forward. Anna has just been surviving and Noah brings her back to life. They are two lost souls connecting and bonding and helping each other learn to enjoy life again.
I enjoyed all of Noah and Anna’s interactions, even though in the beginning, they were awkward together. This is a beautiful story and I thoroughly enjoyed Noah and Anna’s story. The only downside is it ends with a cliffhanger and I have to wait to find out what happens next. I enjoyed all the antics of Noah’s family, especially his five brothers. They are funny, add another dimension to the story and I hope there will be future books written about all of them. I enjoyed this intriguing story from start to finish.
