Ghosts, ghosts and more ghosts.........oh wait on this particular universe, they are called Visitor and each one belongs to a class either Type One, Two or Three(I am assuming there are since there were some talks regarding this certain type).......and they can be captured or be seen by kids......just like in the “Real World”(again another assumption).......has to do with their unadulterated views in life until they get jaded by too much logic.......

Lockwood & Co, another agency that deals with Visitor, but unlike other agencies, this one is headed by Anthony Lockwood, and together with George Cubbins they are 2/3 of a unique triumvirate, the last one being Lucy Carlyle, aside from the three, there are no others, supposedly each agency has an adult to supervise and help, but not Lockwood & Co, the three operatives are enough for any assignment.......

This has a lot of potential, I was sincerely surprised by the pace of the story, the characters introduced, the antagonists(although not all antagonists are Visitors....), a refreshing way to look at ghosts and their hauntings.........and still mysteries abound.............a true recommendation for anyone who likes their ghost story, funny, witty but still scary as heck!!!!! Oh this is a YA, honestly I do not like YA, but due to the story, mystery and the characters, I am staying for the rest of the series!!!!
