High school sophomore, Pen Shakes, wishes she were dead. After all, her sister Ina is a ghost.
When Pen’s spirit accidentally astral travels into the Spirit World, she has a unique opportunity to help Ina, who is trapped in the netherworld until she completes some unfinished business from life. But to help her, Pen needs to keep some pretty big secrets.
Every time Pen’s spirit travels, her body is left behind, empty and limp. It isn’t long before Pen’s vacant body is discovered, and her secrets make chaos of her life. It doesn’t help that the hot new boy at school, who calls himself Mortician, is asking an awful lot of questions.
Pen finds solace in the dangerous and mysterious ghost, Quinn, who claims to be her soul-mate from a past life. Though warned about him, she can not resist him. A few tweaks and Ina’s business will be settled—except that a hungry evil lurks in the Depths.
I thought this was a great book. Once I got going, I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with the names the author chose for the main characters and with the characters themselves. I think I have a thing for both Quinn and Mort. I'm not sure which one I like more. The spirit with the black wings or the motorcycle driving protector. Both have endearing qualities. I don't like to give spoilers, so all I'll say is that the book takes an unexpected twist and turn at the end. I want more! I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of paranormal romance. No vampires or werewolves in this book - only spirits and ghosts. It really gets you thinking!
My son wrote his review as follows and gave it 5 stars:
"I love'Ghosted'. I couldn't stop reading it. I liked that she could turn into a ghost and her sister was dead and needed help to finish her business. I recommended this book to people who love fantasies. I even recommended it to my friends. I hope it turns into a series."
I thought this was a stand alone book, I was sooooo wrong LOL ... It ended with a HUGE cliffhanger OMG !! I was shocked, because I did not know !! How can I sleep now? Please don't take so long for book 2 pleaseeeeee??? Thanks ... Did I say I LOVE IT ? I do !!
Yep. I just read my own book! (I hadn’t ever read the finished version.) And the verdict is in: it had some of everything! I loved it! It’s got mystery, magic and romance topped with a dose of teenage angst. It’s got friendship and enemies, ecstasy and dread, cruelty and love. But most of all, it was a satisfying read that hit the spot. Go figure.
