I really enjoyed this book! A spunky and likeable main character, whose tumultuous relationship with an interesting ghost at her new job, leads her down a rabbit hole mystery that doesn't let up from start to finish and made the story quite the ride. It was fast-paced and surprisingly funny in parts. Light on the supernatural side, but that added element gave it an interesting twist and also a surprisingly emotional core. Having the story take place in Edmonton was refreshing, especially since I live just outside the city and enjoyed being able to really picture the locations. There were a few qualms I had, mostly with some repeated storytelling tactics that felt a bit over used sometimes and James, almost Mary-Sue like personality grated a bit, but that might be a personal thing I disliked. Overall though I was really impressed with my random book purchase at the Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo - one of the best local novels I think I've read. Highly recommended!
