I'm not too big on ghost stories because they're either creepy or involve a living and dead person - you know there's never going to be a HEA and I find it unbelievable - so I like that this one involves two ghosts. The alternative POVs seem well done and the romance sounds really sweet.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-69135818794296875922012-01-30T18:20:07.421-05:002012-01-30T18:20:07.421-05:00Jenny, you have definitely got me interested in th...Jenny, you have definitely got me interested in this one.

And now it's made it onto my wishlist. That is exactly the kind of romance I like to read about. The creepy ghost factor is an added plus :) Lovely review, Jenny! I especially loved: <i>We are left with a bittersweet ending, one that feels right and wrong at the same time, leaving us with the wish that Ms. Walker would write an alternate ending just to satisfy the part of us that would see the supernatural element kicked up a notch to perhaps stretch the limits of believability for the sake of what our hearts want most. </i> So true!Marathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998824096375362353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-38186464955627587932012-01-30T13:59:57.459-05:002012-01-30T13:59:57.459-05:00I like that she doesn't hem and haw about Dani...I like that she doesn't hem and haw about Daniel being a ghost.

But I admire authors who dare to give us something a bit different, and that seems to have been the case with this book. <br /><br />I don't usually read 'ghost' stories, but I think I'd enjoy Daniels POV. Also, I like how the characters seem to lose their inhibitions and express their feelings openly. <br /><br />Beautiful review.
