Review: Coffee and Ghosts
Coffee and Ghosts: Season 1
Charity Tahmaseb
Something that I've been reading when resting from all the business that's been keeping me figuratively running is "Coffee and Ghosts: The Complete First Season." I got this in exchange for a fair review through Story Cartel. The title itself hooked me. Coffee? Ghosts? Two of my favorite things! The format is several short stories, written very like TV episodes. In fact this would be a GREAT show in my opinion. A ghost hunter that catches uses coffee? Oh yes, please! What? Her rival (starting out) uses tea? Oh my, it's the caffiene wars ghost hunter style! Inevitably a bit of romance gets thrown in the mix, but we can blame it on the coffee.
Over the course of a few "episodes," around 15 if I remember right, we follow the adventures of Katy and Malcom, meet Nigel, and then get to see them compete with other hunters coming into their territory. If this isn't enough we eventually learn a deep, dark secret unknown to Katy that is so important that if she'd learned it as a child her adult life might have been completely different.
Apart from the story I absolutely HAVE to bring up the cover. I find the china teapot with steam to be very evocative. I also quite like the text placement. The main title text font strikes me hard and fits the story theme very nicely. The other text... not so keen on the chosen font. Oh well. I am rather picky when it comes to fonts.
If you are looking for short reads then this is a good one. If you're like me and prefer longer reads then you are covered too! This author also has the individual "episodes" available for free. I'm certainly looking forward to the next season.
