The Ghosts Around Us #1
The Ghost Between Us
A novel of paranormal suspense filled with thrills, chills, and romance.
Jacob Stone seems to have it all. Fame, fortune, good looks and a dream job exploring paranormal mysteries around the world for his hit TV show. The one thing that still haunts him though was his first experience with the paranormal at age 13, when he and his three friends snuck into a supposedly haunted building. It ended badly and he felt responsible for the damage that followed. He also never forgot his first love, Charley, who he hasn't seen since that night.
Can he go back and find the answers now? Will Charley and his old friends go with him? Will the old sparks still be there?
Charley's life changed drastically the summer she turned 13. A happy summer and first love ended in trauma. She is now a quiet, reclusive adult overwhelmed with responsibilities, watching life pass her by. Charley is amazed to see her childhood sweetheart on TV now as a famous (and still handsome) paranormal investigator. When he comes back to town with his show to investigate the haunted building where tragedy once occured, Charley must face her fears and use her psychic ability to confront the evil ghost who has tried to control and destroy her family for generations.
Can she embrace a new life of love and adventure or will the ghost continue to haunt her family forever?

Great story, keep me glued to it until the very end. Love the twist of the haunted insane asylum having a personal connection to the main character. The characters were great and I love the back story of how they first met and what happened many years ago. The theme of conquering fears and gaining confidence added even more layers to a paranormal mystery and romance.

This is an intro to a series that does a nice job capturing interest right away with an intriguing prologue and premise. It packs a lot into its short length, including a woman's growth and acceptance of herself, a revived relationship between sexy/famous ghost-hunter Jake and reclusive/budding psychic Charley, plus a spooky paranormal storyline that feels realistic --including a teaser at the end that makes you want to reach for book 2.
Appropriate for teens and adults, The Ghost Between Us is a page-turning quick read with a fast-moving plot, smooth transitions between time periods, and one of the more creative set-ups for a sweet romance I've read in a while.

Ghostly romance
A pleasant introduction to a terrific cast of characters. I'd enjoy more adventures with Charley and Jake. Good suspense, paranormal tie ins.

Great ghostly tale
I love the author's detailed creepy tale of this haunted dance. I'm going to check out her other books. Well done.

The Ghost Between Us, the first novel in The Ghosts Around Us series, is a good, well-written story with a bit of paranormal, a bit of romance, a bit of action. In this book, Charley and Jake, now a renowned host of a paranormal investigation show, reunite to confront an evil in the local sanitarium, an evil that affected their lives when they were thirteen. As a debut novel, Deana Evers does keep the action going and makes this quite the page turner. Looking forward to reading the second in the series.

Well written and pleasant paranormal romance that ties the main character Charley to her mother and grandmother. More details about the grandmother and better character development of the secondary characters, including Mya, Charley’s daughter, and a more complex plot story would have brought this novella to a higher level. Overall an entertaining read.

Proofreader/editor needed
Decent story. Should probably be rated as young adult. Definitely need at least a proofreader; this reads more like a rough draft than a finished product. You might want to check into when to use the words than versus then. And commas.

GREAT
I don't like Elsa. I like everyone else. This is a great book and I'm onto the next one. It was very short though. Under 100 page, wow. I hope the other 2 have more pages.
