First off, don't do what I did and leave a two year gap in between reading the Volume 1 & 2; the second volume makes little sense unless you can remember the context of the first volume. Anyhow, after I went back and read the first volume again, this a solid continuation of the story, albeit with a slightly detached coda at the end where we learn more about Elisa.
On the plus side this has a Buffy feel to it, complete with Scooby gang, however, unlike the Slayer, the eponymous ghost suffers from the same problem as Superman; she doesn't appear to have any weakness, so there is never any sense that she is in real danger. This creates a distinct lack of tension in the action scenes; there isn't even a kryptonite macguffin to give her something to overcome.
In any event, I will no doubt get the third volume when it is released. Hopefully the writers can find a way to make Elisa a bit more vulnerable, or compensate by spending a bit more time fleshing out the “gang” (which the first volume actually did quite well) to provide a bit of a deeper subplot.
