Ghostly Awakening

Ghostly, Book 1

De: E.M. Leya

Narrado por: Greg D. Barnett

As assistant medical examiner, Lance is used to seeing strange things, but when he suddenly starts seeing ghosts, he worries he's losing his mind.

Angus grew up around the strange. With his mother able to see and speak to ghosts, he's grown up knowing there are things most people can't see or understand. When he accidentally catches Lance arguing with a ghost, he knows he has to step in before the man thinks he's going crazy.

As Lance adjusts to his new ability, he also realizes seeing ghosts has its advantages. When several women are murdered in the area, it's up to Lance and Angus to work with the ghosts of the victims to catch the killer.

Excellent!

This was a new to me author and narrator. The book was interesting and the characters likable. The narrator was able to give everyone their own distinct voice. It’s slow burn and there’s some dialogue indicating there will be more in the coming books.

Pleasant

This was hard for me the rate, it's been sitting in my wish list for a long time.
I had started another series with the same MO, an ME and a Detective both with the ME suddenly seeing ghosts and I wasn't sure if I wanted to do another one.

Overall, this was OK, story. The who-done-it was was good and even though I figured out who, but not a exact one. My biggest issue with the book was the overall religious undertone I got through out the story. I'm not a fan of having anyone's believe told to me, repeatedly.
The slow burn between the two MC was good, and the happy band of ghostly characters they picked up along the way was engaging.
I'm glad I finally got it off my wish list, but I doubt I'll do another one.
The narration was fine, and kept the story flowing.

Good start to a new series

Pretty good start to a new series. I love the take on ghosts. Making friends and hanging out, way cool. I enjoyed our MC’s. Lance survived a horrific auto accident that left him with the abilities to see and speak to ghosts. Angus’ mother has been able to do this his entire life so it doesn’t shock him. They team together with Angus leading the investigation since he is a detective and Lance finding clues as he is the coroner, and being able to speak to them helps Angus question them. My major issue is that this is a way tooooooooo slow burn. Anyway, off to the next one.

Different and interesting

Looking forward to Book 2 expanding on the world a little. Enjoyed the characters and how they related to each other. The story was interesting with just enough humor and sexy times. And the drama of the mystery was incorporated well into the story.

I enjoyed the plot and storyline

I am not sure I agree with the authors vision in regards to Ghosts and the afterlife.. but it doesn't take away tobmuch from the overall story
