C.T. M. (sirius-mama) - reviewed on 6/28/2015 + 37 more book reviews

Silly in spots but enjoyable beach read. Peggy as the heroine is likeable and the supporting characters are interesting as well. The ghostie was my favorite character. He adds humor and is likeable; however he isn't given much to do in the story. His constant questions about modern life and bantering reminded me of the Hollywood movie "Kate & Leopold" with Meg Ryan & Hugh Jackman. The schtick started to feel overused. It also wasn't explained why the ghostie couldn't travel through walls. Instead Peggy was always opening doors and pushing out chairs for him. Along with talking out loud to him, he seemed more like her imaginary friend than a ghost. I'm hoping he gets a more active role and some more active abilities in the sequels. The author did a great job in introducing characters and establishing the setting. I do wish the mystery had been better incorporated into the story with the characters and that motives and scenarios had been more clearly laid out. The ending seemed very disjunct and rather abrupt. I was left with more questions after the mystery was solved than I had leading up to it. Which was disappointing. Hopefully the mystery takes center stage in the next book and the characters get bigger roles.
