This was a very different book than what I usually read, but, I could not put it down! Finished it in 1 night and it was super. I recommend this to anyone who is tried of the usual "haunted whatever" books because the characters are real. Whe I get I book like this I keep it and reread. It never dissapoints! There is always something I missed the 1st time. I'm waiting for the next one and I hope it has at least one of the same lovely "friends" in it. Since I have always been a "ghost" person, it made me want to visit some of the old local cemetaries and just watch. Lucky are we who never "grow up".
Read This!

This is a great book. It is totally unlike anything else I've read. Unusually (for me) I was unable to guess how it was going to end.I can only assume it's unattractive cover kept people from trying it.I highly recommend it and hope she'll write another soon!
Delightful, fresh entertainment that makes me want more!

The reviews on the back of this book described it as a ghost story (which I do not like), a romance (which I do not read), and a goofy whodunit (which I enjoy but frequently find disappointing). It is also a first novel. I did not approach it with high expectations, but my book discussion group had selected it. By page 18, however, I was smiling, and by page 25 I was calling a friend that I KNEW would love the book! This is a real little gem! The writing is literate, the characters are unique, the descriptions are vivid and non-cliched, and the plot, while zany, is plausible. Even the conventional little quotes that begin each chapter are especially apt. I will certainly tell Eyes to let me know when Gostin publishes her next book
