Something Borrowed: A Haunted Novella by Angie Lee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Two women. One dress. Decades apart.” 👰🏼♀️🔪
Without giving any spoilers, this haunted novella is based mainly around a woman that falls in love and gets hurt. The overall storyline kept me on my toes and I finished this book in a couple hours! The end had me wanting more though and I do feel like there were gaps between chapters due to it being an intended shorter read, but thats not a negative since the overall storyline was great and it was communicated as a novella from the start.
the book ties together from start to finish which I appreciate. I just wanted more of it and more of a backstory in some instances. The end definitely caught me off guard and had a twist!
Angie Lee is also the author or The Window and One Last Lie! All of them are available on Amazon ❤️📚check them out! Links are below.

Ghosts
Quick read if you believe in ghosts. Well written. Glad it went back to the beginning but never said if Amanda survived the loony bin.

This novella is a haunting and beautifully layered story that blends romance, mystery, and suspense in a very compelling way. The dual storyline between Emma and Amanda, separated by decades but connected through the same house, creates an atmosphere that keeps you curious from beginning to end.
Emma’s story is especially heartbreaking. Watching her fall deeply in love, only to have that dream slowly unravel, is both emotional and gripping. Her struggles with class differences and shattered expectations make her character feel very real and tragic.
Amanda’s storyline adds a powerful sense of mystery. What begins as a fresh start in a newly inherited ancestral home quickly turns unsettling as hidden secrets begin to surface. The way the past and present intertwine is done very effectively, creating tension and a sense that something dark has been waiting for years to be uncovered.
Despite being a novella, the story manages to deliver strong emotions, vivid atmosphere, and a satisfying blend of love, betrayal, and suspense. It’s a memorable read that shows how powerful love and hate can be and how the echoes of the past can shape the present in unexpected ways. Highly recommended.

What lurks in this house, is Amanda going crazy? Amanda finds the dress off of her dreams, and it’s the PERFECT fit. Amanda is starting to wonder why Jake is suddenly so mean to her and if she even really wants to marry him.
If you like a quick read and ghost stories you need to read this book but you can’t borrow mine! :)

I really enjoyed this novella. I love a good ghost story and this was no exception. Well written and fast paced! I enjoyed the characters Amanda and Emma and the story line. I feel novella's aren't easy to write as the author has to cram so much of the story into a few chapters. With that being said Angela did a great job with making sure everything was tied up by the end. I recommend this book for anyone that wants a quick read and enjoys ghost stories!

Suspenseful Novella.
This was an intriguing ghost story that I thought was well done. The characters were interesting to follow. And I like how it jumped back and forth to give pieces of the mystery until we got the entire picture of why the ghost was acting the way she was. I really enjoyed following Emma and Amanda.

A good quick read to start off spooky season. A cozy ghost 👻 novella it’s fast paced. Two women, one dress, decades apart 🔪 so much story packed in less than 160 pages.
It’s suspenseful told in past and present timelines.
Great to start off spooky season.
A novella of love & hate and they both have the power to destroy.
I’ll definitely be reading more of Angie Lee work.

Really good!
I really liked how the author took us from the past through to the present storyline then ended back into the past. It was enjoyable and entertaining!
