"When a fortieth birthday celebration leads to a ghostly visitor, four friends find themselves navigating surprising mysteries and spiritual hijinks, in this clever debut from Melissa Holtz. Alyssa Mann isn't adventurous, not since her husband died and she found herself the single mom of a teenage daughter. But there's no way to avoid celebrating the big 4-0, so when her best friends drag her out for drinks and a tarot reading, she throws caution to the wind and decides to see what the spirits have to say. It's all fun and games, until she wakes up the next morning with a wicked hangover-and a ghost perched on the edge of her bed. Sheer panic sends her running to get help from Nick West, the (very attractive) detective who lives next door. When he finds no one inside, Alyssa has to accept that she really did see a ghost. As the dearly departed keep appearing, Alyssa and her friends do their best to learn how to control her newfound power. Trading insults with ghosts, tracking down family heirlooms, and getting closer to the skeptical but helpful Nick is more fun than Alyssa imagined. But when looking into one ghost's past reveals unexpected-and unwelcome-facts about Alyssa's late husband's death, she discovers she just may be in over her head"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The way the dialogue was written felt stilted and awkward, and I just couldn’t warm up to the characters. It was wonderful that Alyssa’s two friends are trying to help her grieve her husband, and I know everyone deals with death differently, but after a bit I got annoyed with how childish Alyssa was acting. At times this felt more like a YA book…
Alyssa is so depressed about losing the love of her life, but instead of healing and focusing on herself and her daughter, she jumps into a romance with her next door neighbor pretty quick. I am all for adult relationships, but the balance between how devastated Alyssa was to how fast she got over it, felt off.
And with how long the book took to get going, then to have it come to a conclusion so quickly, I felt like this book was on its third round of edits, and needed a few more passes to even out the story for a better book. ( )
