“I received this from netGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is in no way affected my opinion of the book, or the content of my review.”

The story is quite enjoyable, intriguing in some aspects.
But as interesting the plot was I still had issues with the book, it was soo frustratingly slow, it lost it focus on the main cause and drifted off to tell other events without any results. It was implied that Kat could’ve done something many times, Or at least improvised. But she did nothing; she just cowered behind her search partner Evan and just waitedwined her death.
And how the hell could Evan have that much control whilst the other (as it was told many time that she was strong) loose it every single time?

As for the character,in my opinion were not well harmonized, it’s like watching a movie where the story is interesting but unfortunately played by bad actorscharacters.
I can’t follow their conversation, attitude…ect, I’m always rolling my or puffing my irritation with them.

Overall, I'm Glad we got more insight on the murder, to know the victims, main suspects, their heritage, unraveling all the mystery. But the drama was too much for my liking.

Kat Preston has been trying to believe that ghosts don’t exist ever since one wanted to take over her body many years ago. Telling herself that there are no unbelievable helps to keep them away. She is keeping them at bay until a research job takes her to Castle Creighton, where a grisly wedding day murder has remained unsolved for over one hundred years. A research assistant, Evan Kingsley, from the university is one of the people accompanying her on her mission and he definitively doesn’t believe in ghosts. When the two search the room where the murders took place they are transported through a magical mirror to the past where they find themselves in the bodies of two of the people who knew the murdered couple. Will they finally be able to piece together what happened to the bride and groom on their wedding day over one hundred years ago? Can Evan and Kat make it back to their own bodies in the present time or will they be trapped forever?

I truly enjoyed reading The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts by K.C. Tansley. The supernatural elements in the book were very appealing to me and the fact that Kat had experiences with ghosts when she was young drew me right into the story. I was very worried when she was going to Castle Creighton because I knew she would no longer be able to block out the unbelievable, but I also understood it was something she needed to do to put everything to rest. I have always loved old mirrors and I enjoyed the magical elements attached to the one in this book. The world of the unbelievables is well explained and I was on the edge of my seat as Kat and Evan found themselves in the bodies of two people who were connected to the bride and groom. I started off not being a fan of Evan, but as the two traveled back in time I came to like him more and so did Kat. The way the pieces of the puzzle came together was fascinating and it was fun trying to solve the case with Kat. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy books with ghosts, magic, and other supernatural elements. Young adults and adults will get caught up in the mystery and will be turning the pages to find out how it all turns out!

This is not the normal genre of book I read, but for some reason, I started it and I liked it. There are ghosts, spells, curses, time travel, evil shadows and many family stories that turned out to be real not folklore.

Kat, our main character, could see ghosts since she was little. They were her friends and she helped them when she could until she was nine years old. She started missing chunks out of her day. A ghost named Toria tells her that their is another ghost trying to take over her body. Toria tells her she has to stop believing in ghosts and surround herself with unbelievers and natural things. It works, but deep inside she still knows ghosts are real. Years later she has been recruited to go with a team of researchers to Castle Creighton in Conneticut to research the death and disappearance of Sebastian Radcliffe and his new wife Cassie on their wedding night. While doing the research she feels the ghosts again. They also find out about a curse in the Radcliffe family where the oldest son dies by the time he is 23 or on his honeymoon, whichever comes first. There is one heir left, Joshua Radcliffe and The group at the castle consists of Kat, her best friend Morgan, their TA from school Evan and another student Seth. Once they arrive at the castle, Kat can no longer ignore the ghosts. When she and Evan travel 129 years into the past through a mirror, the true story of what happened emerges. This was a good story, not scary but full of a lot of magical situations and characters. Overall I enjoyed this story and think most late teens and early twenties would as well. The second book in this series will be coming out in October, so pick this one up before then.

I am convinced that this book could totally be a movie. It can either be really creepy or it could even be made out like one of those CW teen dramas that could easily hook the masses. I received a copy from NetGalley for my unbiased opinion from the publisher. I am seriously hoping that I get approved for the second book in the series which just came out October 2017. It is just so cool. This book did a really great job in combining an unsolved murder mystery, time travel, spells and curses.

Kat is a college student who has done her best to be an unbeliever and she has done a great job at it for eight years. However as she delves deeper in to her research for her professor she starts letting the unbelievables in unwillingly. She is part of a team of four people who are looking into the mysterious murder and disappearances that happens 129 years ago at a castle. Kat is special because she use to see ghosts as a child and she never had a problem until one tried to possess her eight years ago. Luckily another ghost named Toria helped Kat into no longer believing in ghosts so that she could no longer see them. As the team of students get ready to continue their research by going to the castle, Kat finds out that the ghost that possessed her and the ghost who helped saved her are both people who were at the castle at the time of the murders they're looking into.

Kat and one of her research partners end up falling through a mirror into the past. Right into the bodies of their past ancestors. Their ancestors were key people during the time of the murders that they're looking into. As they live inside their ancestors for a few days shows them how confusing the events really were. You start seeing jealous lovers, people who are a forbidden love, and some loves that wish to be. The castle has its own secret passages to add to the intrigue of who killed the newly weds that lend to generations after being cursed. The curse is basically the first born male in the one of the family lines either dies on their 23rd birthday or if that same son gets married before then, he will die on his wedding night.

This book is written so well that all the events, as chaotic as they can be, flow naturally. It is easy to read and feels super full of story that you don't feel like your rushing through. I would love to continue this series or even see it produced into live action. It is 100% something that I am going to read because it has one of those cliffhangers that doesn't frustrate you but just makes you more interested.

Mystery and intrigue, love and magic. Will she lose herself before she finds the answers that could save them all? Kat Preston will have to travel back in time to find out.

To save herself, Kat Preston had to become an Unbeliever. Now, in college, she surrounds herself with others, including her best friend, Morgan, who helps keep the ghosts at bay.

The Unbelievers makes me think of Ghost Whisperer. I watched the TV show all the time, and can sometimes catch reruns even today.

These ghosts call themselves the Unbelievables. Good ones. Bad ones. And all those in between.

Kat and her friends are going to Castle Creighton for a school research project. She is worried because it’s like stepping out of the frying pan and into the fire. They will be researching the murder and curse in the Radcliffe family.

I was quickly caught up in this ghostly mystery. The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts has all you need for a great ghost story, a castle, a curse, some romance and possession, travel to the past, and danger and intrigue. There are many suspects and the mystery was harder to solve that I thought it would be.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts by K C Tansley.
