Do you believe in ghosts? You know bumps in the night and all? The unnatural cold you feel, why is that? Sometimes do you feel like you’re being watched but there’s no one there? Or are you one that only believes what the naked eye can see? Is there life after death? Or is this life we live all there is too our existence? Does our spirit actually leave our body and just disappear into thin air like a puff of smoke, or does it travel through the white light? Maybe it’s a doorway, or a staircase. Who knows really? This book is all about ghosts, some good some bad.
Akira Malone a scientist and physicist who believes in evolution and Einstein’s theory of relativity, and ghosts. This gal has a secret that she has all her life tried to hide, a special ability that most people don’t understand and don’t want to understand. Akira lives in California but is wanting a change and some adventure so she travels to Florida to a little town called Tassamara where she is going to interview for a new job. A job that she really doesn’t know much about. She didn’t initiate this interview, they found her and didn’t tell her a lot about the position. She was hoping that she would be able to continue her research. When she arrives the company has set up a hotel and a rental car. An ugly rental car, which is the only one available so she’s stuck. Oh well, let’s get this day started and she is harboring high hopes.
(You’re very pretty) she hears a young man from the back seat speak. Oh no, not again! The boy is a ghost and is tied to the car. She has in the past ignored this sort of contact with ghosts not wanting them to know that she can see and hear them; it just made life a lot simpler. She likes the boy though, he seems safe and a good ghost, not one she refers to as a red ghost. Over the years she has put ghosts in categories. You have the faders, the confused, the free, the tied and the red-edged. The faders were the most common except in hospitals, they were more like memories than conscious beings.
Akira goes to her interview and meets up with none other than Zane Latimer, the son of the owner of this mysterious company.
Zane Latimer, a good looking dark haired man has more free time on his hands than he does work. And Zane himself has his own secret, he finds things, objects and even people that are lost or worse, kidnapped scenarios. He's often called in to help official entities like law enforcement and such. He has no clue as to what he’s interviewing the young beautiful lady for, what position in the company, and oh my God, she's not what he’d expected at all. But his CEO Sister says, Hire her, give her anything she wants.
Zane is unaware of her special gifts and abilities. But he gives her an offer she can’t refuse and she accepts. She is soon swept up in house hunting, again provided by the company looking at several houses on the market in this strange little town. Each on having bad energy and one with a red ghost sitting on the front porch shaking her fist. She ends up taking a very large house that’s haunted but with friendly ghosts. A hauntingly beautiful house that has a turret. Wow, she's always wanted a house like this.
This is where the story takes off with Rose and Henry, the friendly ghosts attached to her new house and of course you still have the young ghost from her car Dillon. You see, the small town of Tassamara actually is a town that attracts people with special gifts from mind reading to telepathy. Everyone seems to have their own secrets but in this town they are accepted. No one looks at her like she’s lost her mind; they accept her as she is, ghosts and all.
The questions are: What is her new job? Is she able to do her research? What other secrets does this little town have? And what is the real reason this company sought her out? Did they somehow find out about her abilities?
I really liked this book and I have to admit this is the first ghost book I’ve read. The characters are easy to get to know and become attached too. Rose and Henry are hilarious, Rose liking to watch TV and listen to music and longs to have a party. Henry an older man that just sort of hangs out at the house reading a newspaper. And Dillon, curious, funny and lonely. But Akira finds herself liking the company they provide. And Dillon has learned to stretch himself outside of the car and is able to come into her new house which he’s just happy as can be to be able to talk to other ghosts like him. The ghost characters are awesome, I found myself laughing at their antics and the their sense of humor.
The author really has a good mind for listening to her characters and I can only imagine the avenues they tried to take her down while writing this book. It was easy to read, simple language and no boo boos in the writing. The editing was good as there were only a couple places that needed attention but got passed over. This author has a way of making you be able to relate to the characters. The love scenes which were only a couple were very tasteful and clean but also hot and sensuous. There are a few twists in the book especially toward the end when the author is bringing it all together for you which left me with my mouth hanging open, an ending I wasn’t expecting at all.
But I liked the story line and the writing and will read more in this series. The author has a good sense of humor which she brings out in her characters and let’s them be their selves good and bad.
