Well-written paranormal, slightly spooky coming-of-age queer (m-m) friendship and love story.

Loved the underlying concept of that telling - and admitting - the truth, to others as well as to yourself, will eventually set you free.

I very much enjoyed reading it and can absolutely recommend it to anyone who's looking for a quick and captivating read.

Will definitely read the other stories about Todd - Rayze - and Andy - Drew - as well.

This supernatural mystery is told from the point of view of two young ghosts from different times and cultures. The chapters alternate between their (first person) viewpoints, and they came across as two distinct and different individuals.

The prose was easy to read, and I only noticed a couple of typos. I liked seeing the culture clash, though the moments of mutual incomprehension became belaboured after a while. Jade came over as pretty brash, given that her (presumably educated and show more socially savvy) father had her accompanying him to various business functions because she had such a knack for it. But no doubt finding herself dead doesn’t help her mood.

The later part of the story had me wrinkling my brow and wondering why on earth things happened the way they did. For my tastes, there was a bit much in the way of “teenage” (I can’t think of a better descriptor) concerns. I guess I’m not really the target audience.

Overall, a quick and fun supernatural mystery. show less
