This book was either meant to be “cheesy semi-good” or “a term paper written the night before its due.” To explain this book is crazy and all over the place but I also found it slightly entertaining. The mystery is very convoluted and the author doesn’t close up all the loose ends. The books bounces between scenes sometimes very jarringly and it was at times hard to keep up. This book also has one of my least favorite “tropes” which is throughout the whole book everything goes show more wrong for the main characters until it all magically works out in the end.

I did like the two main characters of Ross and Mo and most of the supporting characters. The setting of Savannah during Saint Patrick’s Day week was excellent because I’ve actually been in Savannah for the holiday and it is truly an experience for folks to see.

I try not to comment on narrators too often because I know I couldn’t do their job but I have to mention that the accents by this narrator were not the best. For one thing, Ross’ accent borders between British and Australian – I couldn’t really get a grasp of which one he was supposed to be. The other issue is that unless it was a main/supporting character – all the Southern characters sounded like stereotypical “dumb hicks” and I wasn’t impressed with those accents either. show less

A fun read. Gizelle Hunter is the not so psychic who is sent to Savannah to write a story about ghosts. She is a magnet for strange accidents. She manages to get into more odd ball situations, with just the right touch of humor. She hires a private detective to help her. Goes on some strange dates. Gets stalked by one of the strange dates. Meets up with 2 older psychics who don't care much for her, because she's a menace. Gets kidnapped. Gets thrown out of 2 hotels. Has a vampire out to kill show more her. It was really action packed and fun to read. show less

I just finished [bc:In Deep Shitake|13616016|In Deep Shitake|Patricia Mason|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1335318722s/13616016.jpg|19217511]and I actually liked it a LOT more than I thought I would. It was like a different take on a Stephanie Plum novel. I love how the author changed the curse words and after reading this I know I would like to touch some asparagus on a hunk.. and no I am not talking the frontal sort. You have to read it to find out! I liked the plot and loved the landlord show more and liked that the author kept me guessing through the whole book. Many times with a mystery you know who done what. I love the characters. I give very few 4 star reviews but, this one will actually get one! show less

Eve is at a high school dance with a loser when she spots a guy she’s never seen before but who seems oddly familiar to her. She’s sure she’s never met him, but he acts like he knows her yet won’t reveal the facts. It frustrates her that evening, but the next morning she’s about to get the surprise of her life. Will she be able to let go of the past and go with him or will she play it safe and stay?

A very interesting concept! I like it! The story is show more too short to get a good sense of Eve and Holden, but I love the plot. While the dialogue is a bit stilted at times and the background is sparse, the story is still a decent one. I wonder what happens after the end? show less
