The Brightest Star in Paris

by Diana Biller

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

I was really wondering how author Diana Biller would continue this series, and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by the results! This book is a true delight, full of ghosts, family and second chances!

👻Ghosts-

I was surprised how uniquely and seamlessly Biller incorporated ghosts in this follow up to The Rose House Widow!

I wondered how it could be done without being redundant or turning the Moore family into a traveling ghostbuster troupe- that is not what happened. The including of the ghosts was very organic and seamless evolution of the ghost story. This book totally gave me a cross between Black Swan and The Sixth Sense vibe!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Family-

The Moore family is back and supporting Ben this time around. I adore seeing this unique and loving family in all its incarnations! Here we see them helping young Ben recover from PTSD after the war, and again they swoop in to help an older Ben deal with heartbreak and try to help win over his love!

On the flip side we meet Amelie’s family and see their loyalty, love and devotion through many struggles.

❤️💔❤️‍🩹Second Chances-

This book is a second chance romance, but second chances abound in this story! From the ghosts to careers to life choice’s there seemed to be endless opportunity to make different decisions and find happiness!

❤️👻😍All in all, this was a good read!

The Brightest Star in Paris by Gwenda Bond is scheduled to release September 28th, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
