Natalie Dalton can’t hold down a job. It’s not because she is constantly late, has a terrible work ethic or doesn’t try. It’s because she is plagued with a gift she’d rather give back. Natalie can communicate with ghosts—annoying, persistent ghosts who choose to have a word with her at the most inconvenient times, often at work with bosses and colleagues around.
Fired from her umpteenth job and nearly out of cash, Natalie accepts an offer to appear on the low-brow, sensationalist TV talk show, World’s Weirdest Hobbies, to discuss her unusual ability, but more importantly to collect a paycheck. Unfortunately, a spirit appears as she’s being interviewed and ends up embarrassing the host of the show by revealing a juicy secret. The host goes ballistic and the clip of his attack goes viral, which catapults Natalie into the limelight and lands her a reality series as a paranormal investigator.
With her financial future secure, it looks like Natalie’s life is finally going to run smoothly for a change. Then she meets Ryan Emery, a gorgeous, sweet, funny guy who is working on her new series. Natalie could really fall for him except for the fact that Ryan is a major skeptic. He doesn’t believe in ghosts and never will. This presents a problem when a persistent spirit wants Natalie to give Ryan a message—one that will dramatically change his life. Now Natalie must somehow get Ryan to believe. Can she do it without ruining a potentially great relationship?
As Natalie carefully navigates her precarious situation, she suffers a loss which makes her question her own beliefs. With both of their lives turned upside down, Natalie and Ryan lean on each other and soon learn that what they truly need cannot always be explained with logic and reason.
Ever since she can remember, Caitlin McKenna has always loved a good story. Naturally, she landed Hollywood where she embarked on an acting and screenwriting career.
Now she enjoys writing any story where love drives the narrative. Caitlin lives with her husband and two spoiled dachshunds in Southern California, and is working on her next novel.
I loved this book. I couldn't wait to go to bed to read it. I loved seeing who Natalie was speaking to next. It was funny and enjoyable. It was great reading a book about the paranormal without it being scary. I hope that Caitlin writes more books about Natalie. I loved her adventures. I'd love more.
The book was good. The only thing that kept it from that fifth star was not enough of the ghostly stuff. It was touched on, but never went deep enough for me. But, it is more of a romance novel than a supernatural novel, so I guess that's to be expected. Good quick read that was overall satisfying.
If you're a fan of the paranormal and/or a psychic medium this book is for you! It's a wonderful funny interesting read...and also very accurate. I wish it didn't have to end. Maybe Caitlin McKenna will write a sequel or a series of these characters?? I'm crossing my fingers.
Highly recommended supernatural chic lit. I definitely enjoyed reading this book, it had ghosts, romance, whit, magic and a superb plot. This is the second book I've read by this author and she's definitely got it. Please take a look you'll be glad you did. X
Enjoyed Super Natalie, it was a suitably light read but as the same time had some creepy moments that a found myself getting spooked by reading them alone late at night.
This book was a really cute story of a young lady who can see dead people (a la Sixth Sense) and must figure out a way to live her life with dead people constantly reaching out to her.
I really enjoyed the author's storytelling style and the twists and turns of the plot, even though some were fairly predictable.
Overall I liked the story. I liked the characters Natalie and Ryan. The story was a little slow about midway. The one issue I had was the insta love. I would recommend if you want a light romance.
Cute story - I like these kind of books (chick-lit) in between the big historic novels I tend to read. It's written well and I can just pick it up from where I left it, even months after starting it. I will recommend this book to anyone who are fans of the "Shopaholic" books or that genre in all :)
