Ghost Girl

I have been a fan of CJ Archer’s paranormal trilogies for several months now, and "Ghost Girl"— the first book in the 3rd Freak House trilogy — delivers every bit as much as the first “Emily Chambers Spirit Medium” novels ("The Medium," "Possession" and "Evermore") upon which the subsequent stories build. Her fluid, descriptive writing in first person allows the reader to experience only what the narrator (in this case Cara Moreau, Emily Chambers’ young aunt) hears, sees, feels or discerns; the reader becomes immersed in the journey rather than viewing it as a bystander. Archer does an outstanding job of bringing the reader up-to-date with the important characters and events, so if you choose to read the trilogies out of order, the drama and adventure make sense. She has an incredible ability to create situations and solutions at once intriguing, surprising and satisfying. The relationships between Archer’s main characters are intense, sometimes forbidden, but always perilous, romantic and rewarding. The prospect and plight of Cara's and Quin’s love story promises to transcend the impediments surrounding them. I cannot stress strongly enough how grateful I am for this body of work, which continues to enchant and engage from start to finish. Read them in order if possible, but don’t miss out on an opportunity to become acquainted with and fall in love with Ghost Girl and all the books in each “Freak House” trilogy. I received Ghost Girl from the author in exchange for an honest review, and it has been an honor. Linda Galway
