When a ghost comes to her wanting to find out how her child is Ropa gets pulled into a challenging mystery. Children are being pulled away from their families and left as empty husks. A friend sneaks her into a special library "The Library of the Dead" and she gets introduced to more magic than she knew existed.
I listened to the audiobook and the heavy Scottish brogue was initially hard to understand but eventually, I got used to it and it did really set the atmosphere of the book. I am looking forward to more of the series. I would have liked to hear more about the Library as it was not really taking place in the library as I thought it would from the title. It should have been titled Ghost talker. I still enjoyed it very much. It moved at a really good pace. ...more

The book morphs quite a bit until I couldn't put it down. The book is told in four people's point of view. Ted (main adult in story), Olivia (the cat), Lauren (a child) and Dee (adult who lost her sister). I really enjoyed this back and forth in perspectives. You are always getting part of the story but never the whole story until the last few chapters.
I will be looking for more books by this author....more

This was a fairly fun romance. It was a bit fluffy but sometimes that's what you need. Reminds me of a Lifetime Movie but I enjoyed it because sometimes you need something light. ...more
