Excerpt from CAIO
Her parents and praise were not well acquainted. As a result, Sarah had a fairly comprehensive list of all the things that were wrong with her. “How can you be as smart as you are and have no backbone, girl?” or “You’re not pretty enough to be able to expect a man to take care of you, so you better find an administrative job so you can support yourself “, or “Self-consciousness is just another form of vanity. It’s just you thinking about yourself too much. “
That simply scratched the surface of what Sarah heard on a daily basis growing up. On the positive side, she could take criticism with the best of them. She had also learned to channel her sensitivity into an awareness of people’s motivations that coworkers called “uncanny.” On the negative side, when her parents died, she had absorbed their voices into those that already spoke inside her head, and now they were the loudest ones.
It was her heightened awareness that told her that something was not quite right with the Davies case. She wasn’t sure what, and she would need to be careful about how she researched, but it tickled her curiosity.
Sarah was lost in these thoughts as she left the grocery store and made her way home, past the park and toward the basketball courts. When she realized where she was, her heart started to race a little bit at the thought of seeing the boy she had seen last week.
There were some boys playing on the court. She scanned them for someone in grungy clothes, but from a distance, they all looked like they were wearing appropriate attire.
Sarah’s heart sank a little.
Don’t be ridiculous, she told herself. Although she wasn’t exactly sure what she was chiding herself about, it was nice when the voice doing the talking was her own.

My Thoughts on CAIO
Caio is a refreshingly unique blend of paranormal mystery, legal drama, and dark romance—with just the right touch of humor to keep things from getting too heavy.
The story centers on Sarah Baker, a 47-year-old paralegal stuck in a toxic relationship and a shady law firm. Her life takes a strange turn when she meets Caio, a mysterious young man who turns out to have been murdered in 1905. Yep. Ghost vibes.
What follows is part supernatural thriller, part emotional journey as Sarah starts to untangle not only the mystery around Caio but her own inner chaos. The book tackles serious themes like emotional abuse, grief, and identity, but it’s written with wit and warmth that make it feel very real and human.
It’s a bit quirky, a little eerie, and ultimately hopeful. If you’re into offbeat ghost stories, legal drama, and messy, relatable characters finding their way, this one’s worth picking up
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

Sounds so good! Thank you for the excerpt & your review!
The book sounds very intriguing. Love the simple cover. Very effective.
I loved the colors.
I liked the excerpt.
It’s a very unique tale. I thought it was hard to place it in just one genre.
I’m not into ghost stories or supernatural stories that much to be honest but this book does sound interesting.
Thank you for reviewing CAIO today. It’s appreciated.
