Ghoul as a Cucumber
You discover that the three hot AF ghosts who haunt your manor house are madly in love with you. What do you do?
a. Run away screaming.
b. Call a priest for an immediate exorcism.
c. Get a little kooky and spooky with all three of them…together…
I’m Bree Mortimer, and I chose option c.
That’s right – me and my three ghosts are a thing now. I’m officially a #ghostslut and I’m okay with it.
And now that I’ve discovered I possess resurrection magic, I might just be able to bring them back to life again.
That is if the dark priests of the Order of the Noble Death would stop raising serial killers from the dead to come after me. And if I can keep my parents and my ex-bully from discovering the truth about my ghostly powers.
Oh, and I should probably figure out why it’s impossible to admit that I have feelings for them. I want to jump their bones every second of the day, but when I try to say those three little words, I get seriously spooked.
How can you fall in love with someone when they’re already dead?
Bree and her ghostly men are back for another spooky adventure in Ghoul As a Cucumber, book 3 of this darkly humorous cosy fantasy series by bestselling author Steffanie Holmes. If you love a sarcastic heroine, hot, possessive and slightly unhinged ghostly men, a mystery to solve, and a little kooky, spooky lovin’ to set your coffin a rockin’, then quit ghouling around and start reading!

Cozy Pairings
Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.
Why we chose this: Bree Mortimer can see dead people, and the three ghosts she used to play with as a child have grown up into infuriatingly attractive men with unfinished business that turns out, improbably, to be her. Between cemetery tours, fresh corpses, resurrection magic, and a Roman centurion who loves the Great British Bake Off, this series is darkly funny, warmly strange, and entirely its own thing. Speakeasy carries the layered, slightly forbidden atmosphere of a world where the living and the dead keep finding their way into each other's business, rich with smoky warmth and the deep sweetness of something that should be complicated but feels entirely, irresistibly right. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle as Bree steps into Grimdale Cemetery on her first day of work, and let the atmospheric richness fill the room like a graveyard on a warm evening where the company is better than it has any right to be.
