This paranormal romance is a great read any time of year, but it’s perfect for Halloween. A Ghost to Die for starts off with a fascinating seance conducted by the famous Fontaine sisters at La Bonne Chance Casino in Victory, New York. The twist is that although her sister sees and hears ghosts, Rooney doesn’t. She feels guilty about faking it, but they desperately need the money for treatments for their younger sister. After the seance, Rooney finally sees a ghost for the first time—in her hotel room. He tells her his name is Stuart Granger and his apparent suicide was a murder set up by a fracking company over a lawsuit he filed against them. He begs her to warn his younger brother he’s in danger too. She doesn’t want to get involved, but she knows she’s the only one who can help. When Rooney and Stephan meet, the attraction between them is electric, but the hunky, Afghanistan and Iraq veteran doesn’t believe her until Stuart gives her information no one else would know.
Rooney and Stephan, with ghostly Stuart along for the ride, run for their lives from hit men hired by the company, Catskill Resources. Thrown together in mortal danger, they soon learn to trust and rely on one another.
A Ghost to Die for has a tight, fast-paced plot and I couldn’t put it down. I instantly liked Rooney and empathized with her plight. Imagine always being the practical sister who doesn’t believe in the paranormal, only to be pulled into a life or death situation where you’re the one trying to convince a tough ex-sniper that his dead brother is communicating with you. Stephan is To Die For sexy and a realistically portrayed veteran. I enjoyed the chemistry between Rooney and Stephan and the believable way it developed due to the danger they faced and their need to watch each other’s backs. Their clever, snappy banter lightened the suspense of the danger just the right amount. Stuart is also a great character, well-developed, with strong goals of his own. I really wanted things to go well for him, even though he was already dead. The end is satisfying and fully resolved. If you’re in the mood for an absorbing romance perfect for Halloween, this is it.
Rooney has accepted to help the ghost of Stewart. It took Stewart a bit to convince Rooney he was real. He has a message for his brother that Rooney has to get him asap. Stephan Granger is an Army veteran who has issues and the last thing he needs is something trying to kill him. He thought his brother committed suicide they all believed he did.
Stewart was suing the power company and ended up murdered as they were destroying their farm. Now they are going to come after Stephan. But Rooney has feelings for Stephan. Can they work all this out?
I loved all the humor through out the story. It has romance and paranormal to go with it. You can’t go wrong with this novella or this great author. Keta know how to write a book to keep the reader interested and on the edge of their seats.
A bit of humor, a bit of suspense, and a bit of romance, just perfect
A short and fun read with a realistic murder mystery and plenty of action. I just loved all of the characters. The story flowed very well with witty and engaging writing that kept me hooked to the end. The H was great, he actually was a smart thinker, thought of things to do to be safe and tried to figure out what the bad guys might do to track them down like thinking that their phone may have been bugged. Rooney also was a good heroine, she had an inner strength beneath her femininity, she was gutsy, determined, and loyal. She had a personality to help troubled souls without thinking about it. And then there was the Ghost who was killed by the corrupt big corporation over a lawsuit. He was just so lovable and funny. A good mix of personalities in this novella. I loved the ending too, it brought tears to my eyes, so sweet. A fun, short, sweet read.
A thrilling suspense. Full of mystery, action and romance the story was an easy fast read.
