“We’re going to stumble and fall. But maybe that’s okay as long as we take turns catching one another.”
“Always.”
I peered up at him a bit mischievously. “And you’re sure that you’re ready for life to get a little spookier?”
He grinned and dropped a kiss on my lips before parroting back my words. “Always.”
This was a great time! I laughed out loud at Rain's ridiculousness. The banter was top-notch. There were some seriously heartfelt conversations. And the mystery was great with a really nail-biting conclusion. I will never turn down more time with Rain and Danny.

Where do I start?! I'm really not sure.
This series is one of my absolute favourites. Rain and Danny are one of my most cherished couples, and Rain, especially, he's one of the most iconic protagonists I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
I'm so so devastated this will be the last of their adventures, but on the other hand, I was not expecting S.E. Harmon to bless us with it, so I think I'm mainly just so damned happy we got another ride with them.
"A Spooky Legacy" did not disappoint, at all. It's entertaining and gripping, packed with mysteries, murders (and ghosts!), but it's also sweet and romantic and so damned heartfelt that I thought I was going to end up sobbing once or twice (no, I'm kidding; at least a dozen times).
Rain was the same Rain I remembered, snarky and neurotic and full of contradictions, a walking, talking murder magnet, but he's also slowly becoming the better version of himself. I love a good 'ol character arc, and his in particular was absolutely unforgettable. He's one of the best characters out there, and I'm already looking forward to re-reading these books from the start.
I also love a romance that manages to still feel as thrilling, as toe-curling, as when the love interests first get together; but I especially love it when said romance also manages to grow and flourish and become even better, even sweeter, even more satisfying. Rain and Danny have both been put through the wringer in this series, but their love has always come out stronger and better; and in this one, they're more in love than ever. They fight and grapple with insecurities and misunderstandings, but they know they can count on one another, and that theirs is a soulmate kind of love. I'm so damned happy with how thier second-chance romance turned out: it's been a rollercoaster ride of emotions, steam and love, and I'm so satisfied with their HEA.
The mystery here was absolutely gripping: it's dark and painful and complex and haunting, and those last few chapters had me on the edge of my seat the whole damn time. I love this series because while there's a paranormal edge to it, the mystery and the romance are both pretty much the heart of all the stories the author has weaved together here. The ghosts were pretty much entertaining though; and that final twist? Talk about fate.
I loved the mystery, and I adored all the side characters: from Rain's parents to Dakota and all of Rain and Danny's co-workers.
I loved the writing; S.E. Harmon is SUCH a gifted writer, and the way humour is perfectly blended in with the angst and the heartfelt? Absolutely wonderful.
I'm so not ready to say goodbye to Rain; but I'm already excited to start a re-read as soon as I can manage. I read those first books quite a few years back (and another thing I appreciate about S.E. Harmon, is the fact that she's a master at not making a reader feel lost, even when they've forgotten quite a few plot elements and characters), and I'm so looking forward to re-discovering these books again.
In the meantime: if you love mysteries with a smidge of paranormal, second-chance romances that take the bitter animosity and transform it into soulmate love, wonderful character arcs and a MCs who's as snarky as he is unlucky, go and read this series. It's a MUST for all fans of the genre.
TWs/CWs: domestic abuse (secondary characters), death, kidnapping, violence.
Thank you GRR and the author for the ARC. This is my honest review.
