When we first meet Sion, he is two weeks into his 'sabbatical' at the Spindrift Cottage in Rosewick Bay. He is on said 'sabbatical' from trying to take his own life by jumping off Battersea Bridge. He spends the days and nights painting and taking pictures as form of therapy. However, that night he meets the ghost of Matthew Jopling. 
 When he happens to visit the local museum the next day, he runs into Mattie and is immediately taken aback. Whom he is staring at looks like the exact replica of Matthew Jopling, which so happens is Mattie's great-great granddad. Soon after another ghost comes into the equation by the name of Joshua Hayer. 
 Sion tells Mattie about his encounters with each ghost. Soon they are looking into the history of Rosewick Bay to solve the mystery that is Matthew and Joshua. As questions get answered, new ones come to life and lead to the discovery of mysterious drowning's dating back to 1933. In the end, both characters find their resolve (yes, Mattie has issues as well), solve the mystery and find their HEA. 
 This story amazed me. What started out a little slow, ended with a bang! There was so much suspense and mystery involved; I was on the edge of my seat. When I thought the story was going in one direction; to find the author leading me in the exact opposite was AWESOME! I absolutely love it when I cannot predict what the author is going to do with their characters. I really don't want to go into too much detail because I would then be truly ruining it for some, and I am not that person. In addition, the chemistry between Sion and Mattie is slow, sweet and leaves more to the imagination. 
 Finally, I have to say that I like how the author stayed with the dialect for Mattie and the rest of the towns people in Rosewick Bay. I am not going to lie, at first it was driving me nuts thinking that there were some serious editorial issues. However, soon I realized that it was on purpose. The author had written it that way to keep with the vernacular in that particular area, which I felt added to the overall feel of the story.
