  Life After Love by Imogen Markwell-Tweed Genre: Paranormal LGBTQ Romance Adam and Danny are your average couple. Sure, Adam is a ghost — and then he’s not — and then he is again. And, yes, in between crafting lattes, Danny sometimes crafts spells. But other than that, they’re your typical couple — plus or minus a few grimoires.
