Plot summary: Rylan Flynn can talk to ghosts. She and her friend, Mickey, film some of her encounters for their YouTube show Beyond the Dead Investigations. But mostly Rylan tries to help the ghosts crossover. But when the ghost of a young woman leads Rylan to her dead body in the woods near her aunt's house, Rylan finds herself caught up in a murder investigation. Something Detective Ford Pierce is not thrilled about.
My thoughts: This is a fast and fun paranormal mystery; it's a little short, and not too scary, and I really liked it. From the ghosts in her home to her penchant for filling her house and garage up with found 'treasures', Rylan is an interesting and likable character. And her longtime crush on Ford hints at the possibility of some romance in future books. It's a very promising start to this new ghostly series. And I look forward to reading more books about Rylan Flynn and the ghosts in her life.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
Happy Reading!
This sounds really good! A perfect read for this time of year! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun. I ordered the next two books in this series and can't wait until them come so I can read more about Rylan and her ghostly ability. :D
DeleteSounds like just my style for a spooky read.
ReplyDeleteI liked the ghostly elements in this one, though it's not a book that will scare you or give you nightmares. It's a fun kind of spooky.
DeleteOh I think I would like this one. Great first line too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun novel. I think you'd like it, too. :D
DeleteI like the sound of the mystery and the potential for romance to come. I'll look this one up. :)
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed that Ford and Rylan eventually get together. I think they'd make a great pair.
DeleteJust back from holidaying in Cornwall and starting to catch up with posts. I like the sound of this one very much!
ReplyDeleteHolidaying in Cornwall sounds so lovely! I hope you had an amazing time. Someday I hope to holiday in Cornwall, too. :D
DeleteAdding this to my wish list! I am glad you liked it, Lark.
ReplyDeleteI did. But then I'm always looking for ghostly books this time of year; and the supernatural paired nicely with the mystery.
DeleteThis sounds really good! I haven't heard of this one before.
ReplyDeleteShe's a new author for me. I first read a review of this book on totallyaddicted2reading.com and knew I had to check it out. :D
DeleteI like a fast-paced read. Unfortunately paranormal books give me nightmares so I'd have to pass on this book. Glad you enjoyed it though!
ReplyDeleteThis is more mystery than scary ghost story. The paranormal element just adds a fun layer. I don't think it would give you nightmares. :D Thanks for commenting!
DeleteThis one seems more spooky than scary, so I think it would be a fun, quick read.
ReplyDeleteIt reads very fast, and I think your characterization of spooky rather than scary is pretty apt.
DeleteNice review, glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun one. :D
DeleteRylan is interesting because talking to ghosts is something she is passionate about and she has a YouTube channel which is cool. It sounds like the start of a good series.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Rylan and can't wait to read more in this series.
DeleteMy first reaction to this was that I am not into ghosts. But then it turns into a murder investigation and that sounds good.
ReplyDeleteIt is more murder mystery than haunting ghost story. Though the ghosts in it add a little supernatural element to it that I think is fun.
