I love the premise and the plot is good - even a bit better than average because the premise was just a little bit different from the norm. If this was a stand alone book, I'd probably have rated it higher, but because it's the third in the series I'm a tiny bit disappointed in the characters. Rory seems to be missing any spark, imo. She's terribly earnest, but there seems to be no humour, or life, to her character. The ghost, Zeke, has more life and humour.

Although I enjoyed the book well enough, it was really just 'ok' and I'd hoped for a bit more out of the series by the third book. I'll check out the fourth and perhaps find that the series is just a slow starter.
