Ghosting 101

Alice Worth #1.8

by Lisa Edmonds

Nothing is easy about being a ghost sidekick. No one knows that better than Malcolm--especially when you're bound to a hard-living mage private investigator like Alice Worth. Alice is a danger magnet, and the long-suffering Malcolm has realized being dead won't keep him safe from the threats that haunt Alice's every step.

In this short story, Malcolm reluctantly takes on a case of his own when he encounters a recently deceased man who needs both a crash course in being dead and answers about his untimely demise. Welcome to Ghosting 101...

It was okay I guess...

This short story happens between the first and second books of the series, and it's simply about Malcolm coming across a new ghost and helping him figure out how he died.

Narration: Vikas Adam

It was so short! Grate to see more of Malcolm but he didn't sound himself cus the narrator isn't the same as in the original books and I really love Felicity Munroe's narration. Not to say the narration wasn't good in a sence. Just that that's not how I'm used to hear Malcolm. One negative thing is, and this counts for meny male narrators, I don't like how male narratiors do female characters woice's.

Very short novella from Malcom’s point of view. It did not add any interesting perspective or information at all. Can easily be skipped.

Very short (17 pages) standalone story about Malcolm. Good fun read

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

There’s no handbook for dealing with death, including your own. No one knows that better than longtime ghost Malcolm, sidekick of mage private investigator Alice Worth. When Malcolm crosses paths with a recently deceased man with no memory of how he ended up that way, he reluctantly agrees to help the confused ghost solve the mystery of his untimely demise and give him a crash course on living your best afterlife. Welcome to Ghosting 101!

Ghosting 101 (Alice Worth #1.8) Lisa Edmonds
This cute novella provides a deeper look into Malcom’s character, allowing readers to get to know him on a more personal level. His development is a refreshing addition to the series, and I found myself more connected to him as the story progressed. It’s a light, enjoyable read that adds a lot of depth without being too heavy. Perfect for anyone who wants a quick, satisfying dive into Malcom’s world!

Malcolm is probably my favorite character in the Alice series and this little story was a delightful glimpse into his snarky personality. I loved seeing him take the main stage and the puns were on point!

An excellent short mystery, discovered and solved while giving us a brief look into what Malcolm does while he isn't with Alice. I loved the insight into how Malcolm thinks.

Cute short story!

[Sara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick and fun. Listened as an audiobook. Malcom is the central character in this quick novella.

[TJ STEWART · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice little inbetween story involving a POV from Malcolm.

Malcolm's pov

That was nice to see how Malcolm feels about things. It was a cute little mystery. I hope we hear more from him in the future.

3 Stars... This is a review of the written novella not the audiobook... This is the only option that would come up when I searched this book:)
