But let’s be real, there’s something uniquely irresistible about a ghost romance. Vampires may have eternity, and werewolves might have the whole broody-alpha vibe, but ghosts? They bring that tortured past energy with unfinished business, giving us those tragic, swoon-worthy stories where love literally transcends death. Plus, they’ve already mastered the art of disappearing when things get too real. Now, just pick the one that you want to fall for from this list of ghost romance books.
