Whisper of Midnight

As a child, the heroine saw a ghost in her familes house and it tramatized her so much that she never returned. Now, she's back. Her only family-her brother-is very sick and though she terrified of the place she instantly rushes back to tend to his health. There, she realizes that her brother has done an amzing thing. He's created a holograme projector that makes 3 dimensional and touchable pictures. In a freak accident, his machine has given that same ghost a physical body. The heroine now has to contend with the fact that not only is he the thing that scared her so much as a child-he's also the man whom she's slowly growing to love. This was an odd book that leapt from one thing to another. I mean it's pretty remarkable to have the show more girl thinking the ghost is a murderer to falling madly in love with him a the span of a week. The hero is-granted- very open with his feelings and is genuinely a very good man but it was the heroine with whom I had issues with. She was a coward and the only thing that made her personality bearable was the fact that she knew she was a coward. Her interaction with the scumbag of a boyfriend was frustrating at least and disturbing at most. At one time the dude attempts to rape her. She fights him off, the ghost coming to her rescue-she feeling all happy because he defended her-fine. But the next day they act like nothing happened! I was shocked. I mean the guy just assaulted you and your not even all that angry with him? She continues to date him for the next few chapters until he tries to undermine her brothers invention-then she dumps him... I did really love the hero. He was mans man. He defended himself and others in an instant. He was funny, charming and had a temper when he felt like he was being insulted. I was so happy to read about the sideburns and mustache being shaved off. Overall it was an old fashioned book and some things about it just didn't sit right with me. Not only the whole attempted rape thing but the heroines weakness and general bad example for what a heroine should be. show less
