If I could leave more stars for this is would! You can’t get a better second chance than your first true love from Fifteen years ago showing up and you find out what you thought back then was all wrong and you are soul mates… BUT there’s a catch. Jamie hanged himself weeks ago and has come back as a spirit to save you from the same fate.
This is a book of two hurting teens that come together in high school but didn’t reach out and open up about their hurts back then only for that to push them away when things happen.
The story does skip from the present to the past and back a lot especially in the beginning but it does it seamlessly and you always know where you are.
Though the story has some darkness it touches on suicidal thoughts and attempted suicide a lot… It does it quite well and I hope maybe someone with these thoughts can read this and see there is hope.
Both Jamie and Jemma are amazing characters and the storing is deep, interesting, and has a touch of humor to lighten the darkness. It is an amazing story! I can’t wait to see what Prometheus Rising is about.
What an amazing book! Jemma and Jaimie dated in high school and it didnt end well. Flash forward and Jemma is going thru a divorce and then finds out her old love killed himself. This book deals with depression and suicide with compassion and realism. There is lots of love and angst and difficult subjects tackled in this love story! I couldnt put this book down!!
To laugh and cry, to feel so thoroughly. All while reading a work of fiction. Fiction. Doesn’t quite carry the appropriate weight. This book was seriously intense and I wasn’t ready.
Death as a role in love is a subject I only recently realized bothers me. It’s something that unsteadies my soul. It’s something that is just so…uncertain. Love, in many ways, can be defined. Explained. Death? What do we really know about it? Is it death that hurts, or is it the love left behind?
It’s a thought of mine that cycles on repeat. Death terrifies me. Not that I’ll die. That I’ll die unfinished. That I’ll leave pain behind. It’s my very own Prometheus complex.
This book cycles through both love and pain, as indicated by the introduction. Real life might not be anything like this but, I can hope. This book, is about perspective. Grief is a faceless beast and we spend so much time trying to give it just that, that we forget to grieve. We forget that ‘it’s okay to not be okay’ we’re human and that means messing up.
Do-overs are not guaranteed. So. Live for now.
Live for love.
Emotional! Please heed the warning the author has at the front of the book. Depression and suicide are tough topics. Keep tissues handy as it’s a tear jerker. This story was gut wrenching and emotional. I was hooked from the very beginning. I couldn’t put it down! The author did an excellent job of flipping between the past and present. The ending shocked me as I didn’t see it coming. I really expected it to end differently. I mean really I’m at a loss of words for how this story touched me. I’m still floored after reading it. The story is well written. The characters are well developed and easily relatable despite being flawed. I can’t wait to read more from this author.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book.
This book goes so far beyond the characters of Jamie and Jemma. While it dives in the deep end of depression and even spirits it has the distinct lure of love buried deep within its pages for the reader to discover in this very endearing read. Good and unique read
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Overall, I enjoyed the story. The beginning of the book had me somewhat confused, trying to keep the storyline straight. Once it got going, i found myself touched by Jemma and Jamie, and their love that crossed certain lines. I do recommend this story.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
I’m going to totally honest this book was like no book I have ever read before! I couldn’t put it down I felt so bad for our leading lady and I just wanted to hold her, but luckily our leading man n was able to even though it was in Ghost form. This was truly a love story that overcame even death, and I can’t wait to read the next book honestly it was very interesting and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good love story.
Ghost-Romance or is it!?
Gorgeous cover! i bought the paperback directly from the author. This story deals with mental health issues and grieving…. I hurt and sympathize with the main leads. I grieved with them. It broke me… it tore my heart into pieces ..and slowly it lifted me back up. I fell in love with it. With them. With the hope and dreams. I wish in my heart that all of this was true.. maybe it is. Some things are extraordinary and cant be explain. Words are a powerful and can heal. Loved this! Grab some tissues. It does have a HEA ending!!
I enjoyed this novel, but take the warning the author gives in the description seriously. This was a tough one to read. I’m not typically a sensitive reader. I’ve read many stories with difficult topics in my time that other readers might not be able to handle, but this novel touched on some sensitive spots that I didn’t even realize I had as a reader.
First of all, the blurb really pulled me in. I love reading ghost romances and this one certainly seemed interesting. That’s why I chose this book to read. I was a little disoriented at first with the flashbacks, but Ms. Radner does an excellent job with it. The reader gets to journey with Jemma and Jamie, during the present-day while also experiencing what occurred in the past that shaped their lives and turned them into the people they are in present.
The description was detailed enough that I could easily visualize these characters and their situations. The emotion simply spilled off the page and struck deep within my heart. This was a story of love, loss, passion, loneliness and grief. It’s a tear-jerker, so keep some tissues handy.
While I did enjoy this story, it was in one word – depressing. And rightly so. The characters were dealing with severe mental illness. I suffer from depression so while reading their story, I felt the same emotions alongside them. At one point, I needed to set the book down and read something else for a little while. Yes, this story affected me that much.
But, the author’s voice was so distinct and the story so compelling, that I found myself coming back to the book because I desperately wanted to know if Jemma and Jamie would attain their happily-ever-after. I really needed to know the ending without skipping the bits between. I’m very glad I did. The ending was beautifully done! The author did a wonderful job with this story!
This book was so full of emotions they just jumped off the page and landed heavily in my heart. This is the first book I have resd by this author but if all her work is like this, I’m so down to read everything. I loved this so hard.
What a story! It is different than most stories I have read. Jemma and Jamie are two very damaged people. When he dies he gets a chance to save Jemma again by coming back as a ghost. This story kept me turning pages. I would recommend this book. The ending was not what I expected. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I was asked to read this and provide my thoughts.
I don’t even know how I got through this in one piece. This has so many emotions, it’s hard to put into words. Jemma and Jamie have one wild story filled with love, passion, hurts, and some hard hitting themes like mental illness. I felt every emotion and I could picture everything happening in my head as if it was happening right in front of me; which made it all the real.
Buckle up with this one, because I still can’t get over it. But that’s what tells me that I have read one great story. Now I can’t wait for the next book.
