After reading Tamsyn Murray’s debut novel, My So-Called Afterlife earlier this year I just couldn’t wait for My So-Called Haunting to be published and it didn’t let me down, so much so I did something I haven’t done in a while – I slowed down, to try and make the last 30 or so pages last that little bit longer before I had to say goodbye to Skye… for now!
As in My So-Called Afterlife the story centres around the story of a ghost (in this case Dontay) who has yet to move on and it’s down More...

My So Called Haunting is another witty paranormal read from the queen of comedy Ms Tamsyn Murray.
Skye is fourteen and she has just moved from Edinburgh to live with her aunt Celestine in London. Her aunt happens to be a psychic of rather extraordinary abilities. Skye’s mum is working away in Australia so Skye has to start a new life. The thing is that Skye is not your average fourteen year old – at least in one very important way – she speaks to dead people. Skye is a psychic who conv More...

I was really impatient to read this sequel-but-not-exactly to the first book and I haven't been disappointed at all. All the things which made me love My So-Called Afterlife were there, and there were so many other things that I didn't have any feeling of déjà-vu. I found both books quite different in terms of plot and general atmosphere, and I really liked immersing myself in another part of the ghost world Tamsyn created. I found My So-Called Haunting to be slightly darker than My So-Called Af

Tamsyn Murray’s second novel, My So-Called Haunting, is just as funny, spirited and moving as her first. I loved it so much.
When I first realised that My So-Called Haunting was a sort-of sequel to My So-Called Afterlife, I wondered how on earth the two books could be connected. But I had my answer within the first few pages: Jeremy, who helped Lucy to cross over in My So-Called Afterlife, is the boyfriend of Skye’s aunt Celestine, who also featured in in Lucy’s story. I loved them th More...

I loved Tamsyn Murray's first book My So-called Afterlife. I thought it was a really enjoyable read - with great characters and fun dialogue - so I was very excited to read My So-called Haunting.
It's more of a spin off than a sequel - taking the characters Jeremy and Celestine from the first book and introducing Celestine's niece Skye, who has moved from Scotland to live with her Aunt while her mother spends time abroad. Having had the psychic ability to see ghosts for as long as she More...

Another very readable book by Tamsyn Murray. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one, but it still kept me entertained up until the end.
I think the difference was I didn't get as emotionally attached to the characters in this book as I did in the first. Although it was nice to have a continuation of Jeremy's story.
For an adult YA fan like myself these are quick reads and probably aimed at the younger YA market.

Fourteen year old Skye can see dead people. After moving from Scotland to London to spend a year with her aunt, Skye has to deal with a new school, boy drama and those pesky ghosts. She begins helping with her also-psychic aunt's work -- helping ghosts to solve their problems have kept them from 'passing over.'
Skye's voice reads like what you'd expect out of a younger teenager. A bit melodramatic and silly while still being sympathetic and relatable. The plot follows two main sto More...

A fun, quick read that didn't really involve much thinking at all. Skye was an intresting main character, however she has somewhat questionable judgment.

This book deserves six stars! I'll be honest, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy reading a ghost story but a few pages in and I was hooked. I love the story arc, I adore Skye. I'm ashamed to say I even thought Nico sounded gorgeous when Skye met him. I am looking forward to reading more about Jeremy when I read 'My So-Called Afterlife'. I think Tamsyn Murray is most definitely one to watch.

This book was just okay. It lacked a lot of character development and plotlines. I think this book would be more suited to a child than YA or adult. It has simple words and sentences and lacked structure. It was a cute book though with potential.
