How (Not) to Renovate a Haunted House - by Jenny L Howe (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In this spooky, small-town YA romance, an amateur ghost hunter and a supernatural skeptic team up for a haunted home renovation project. But is their relationship the real fixer upper?

Amity Callaway is sick of being known as the weird girl. As annoyed as she is that her recently divorced mom just moved them across the country to the tiny, quirky town of Harlow's Rest, Massachusetts, it could be the fresh start she needs.

Until Amity discovers their absolute disaster of a new house is supposedly haunted.

Theo Hargrave, son of the town's general contractor and amateur ghost hunter, is a true believer. When he shows up on their property with his EMF reader in hand, Amity is ready to debunk all his theories. She's definitely not staring at the small scar through his eyebrow or his ridiculously soft lips.

But even Amity can admit their home renovation is doomed. Nothing is going right, from the paint that refuses to dry to the fixtures that keep falling from the ceiling. So Amity and Theo strike a deal--his family's construction expertise for her help investigating Harlow Homestead's supernatural secrets. Even scarier than ghosts, though? Amity's growing feelings for Theo.
