This was different than any ghost-centric novels I'd read before . While I enjoyed the characters and the story itself was a diverting read, the author took a few incomprehensible leaps when it comes to what ghosts can and can't do physically to further the plot. It makes sense that a ghost can have a corporeal form but not to have substance and it would be very energy draining, especially corporeal enough that they “feel warm” to and can engage in penetrative sex with a living person. There was also odd choices like having the slight triangle with Carter - why can't they just be friends from the start, especially with the age and lifestyle differences - and also the conflict with Old Man Wayne. They added some tension, sure, but in the end they didn't really elevate or further the story in any way.
Overall, it was an okay read and I would continue on in the series but my eye muscles sure got a workout with all the rolling.
