3.5 Stars.

So I was a huge fan of the Meg Cabot series "The Mediator" think thats the series title but anyway, that was my favourite series as a teen and I had to force myself to read it as I was super worried about the ending and how was she going to be with him etc. Etc. So this sort of ended up the same way with me worrying and its also why I was quite hesitant in reading this.

Cute but a bit predictable. A very light read. The love interest was nice, but I feel there was not a good foundation for a love story. But I am a su*ker for books about book people and especially love stories between people that love to read and work in the field!

This story was okay, interesting premise, but the author could have done so much more with the idea of being able to see ghosts. There needed to be more ghosts sightings in the story. And the ending was a little weird, kind of fluttered a bit. Needed a better flourish. Overall it was an okay read.

My grade C+
