Marie’s Thoughts
Unlike any other cozy I have read. A ghost / “alter ego” for the protagonist who helps solve the mystery? How unique. Jack and Penn are so different, yet compliment each other well. Like french fries and a chocolate milk shake. Penn is a mother and I appreciate her relationship with her son throughout the book. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. An entertaining read!

Awesome series
I have loved the writing of Cleo Coyle and Marc for many years and have read every one of their books. This series was so wonderful and this release of our favorite ghost Jack coming back after so many years was simple thrilling. I love unique and this series is that and so much more. Congratulations to the authors for their .ost creature series and for being so connected to their reader fans.

We’re now at work on the next book in our series, and we’ll keep everyone informed of the publication date. (We promise it won’t take another ten years!)
