This is an entirely unique and enjoyable story. The characters were solid and believable. The emotions felt true and the dialog was realistic. I flew through this book and will happily read more of Mr. McCarter's work.
For author Robert J. McCarter's first novel, this one is well written and absolutely wonderful! I gobbled it up in one day and wished there was more! Such a compelling and engaging and completely absorbing story. All the characters, especially JJ and Nate, just grab you - in a good way. I wanted to know everything I could about them, beyond what was written in the story. I literally could not put the book down. Wow. I've got a number of friends I will pass it along to.

It really feels like this adventu...more

Just read part of the ebook and loved it!
What a hoot! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Transitioning to the afterlife from the point of view of the ghost.
He writes using a high-tech system that works on electromagnetic energy, but the story is really about coping with grief and changes outside your control, and making things right in your life. In contrast to the true story Kitty Cornered that I just read, this story is not whiny in the least, even though it is also a self-examination, albeit fiction.
I highly recommend this book!

I loved this book. I wanted to read it the moment I saw the word ghost.
