This is my first book by this author and I was pleasantly surprised by her story telling technique. The paranormal has long since been stories I spend hours upon hours in being thoroughly entertained. This book was no different. I literally could not put it down. Zelda and Scott are definitely soul bound!! I cannot wait for book two!!

  Scott is a young man that has the gift of being able to see and communicate with ghosts. While at a funeral for one of his few endeared family members, he makes contact with a young woman in a bloody wedding dress that has no memory of how she died or who she is. Despite not normally being willing to help the ghosts that come to him, he feels drawn to helping her figure out the mystery that was her life. 
  This book had a little bit of a slow start, but I was soon caught in trying to piece together the pieces to solve Zelda's (aka Ghost Bride) life. I will admit that none of my predictions despite the love interests came true while reading this book. The end of this book had me on the edge of my seat for a moment and the plot twists in this book are commendable. Definitely a riveting read all in all.
