Paranormal series with an ongoing story arc. Book ends on a cliffhanger with loose threads.
As a crime fiction fan, I picked this book because of its title, hoping for skeletons or at least, some bones. However, I did want and got a light, easy-read mystery. I read this as a stand-alone, but it’s probably best to read previous books due to the continuing story arc and recurring characters. The GoodReads description is a bit misleading, but I can’t divulge exactly what or how without spoilers. If you’re interested in reading this book, I suggest reading Amazon’s blurb.
This book promises a lot as it opens with two powerful secondary characters, but it didn’t deliver enough to satisfy—especially with regards to the main storyline, which has hanging threads. The subplot about the ghost boy was interesting, well-written, and cleanly resolved.
The very personal, domestic subplot to do with psychic Cassie Quinn, her younger sister, and their parents was melodramatic with much angst and weeping. I do like Cassie and her sister, Lauren, but there were times when I muttered: “Cowgirl up, Cassie!” I cut her some slack, because there is a story arc, which seems to have Cassie discovering herself and growing into her psychic talent.
Cassie may have ghostly spectres, but IMHO, there isn’t a figurative skeleton about, let alone a clattering symphony. Other characters, perhaps.
