8/10Written Feb 3, 2014

This was not an incredibly deep story but I really enjoyed it. It was an intriguing twist on what happens after we die and included a bit of romance along with the suspense and a mystery to be solved. It also explored the role grief plays when we lose someone close to us. Having lost my father a couple of years ago, I thought the author did a good job of exploring the difference in grief when we lose someone we've been very close to such as a parent or grandparent, as opposed to the loss of someone very young who is taken suddenly and unexpectedly. I can relate to the main characters feeling very close to her grandfather due to all the time spent and memories shared even though he had died. This is exactly how I feel about my daddy. He is no longer on this earth but will always be an intricate part of who I am. Looking forward to reading the next story in the series.
