That was cute, funny, unusual and wonderful reading experience. I loved POVs of both protagonists, I enjoyed the plot, the banter between Alona and Will was hilarious! The book is fresh and unique and highly recommended!

Honestly, this is just as cheesy as the cover and as predictable as the title makes it out to be.

Really nice book. :) Made me laugh a few times. And I love the romance.

I will be buying the rest of this series too. :)

YAmpires Book Club #2: Surprisingly adorable and well written, for an incredible clichéd, trope filled ya romance.

This book was better than I thought it would be. The premise has been done before, ghost-whisperer and whisperee, but it didn't fall into trite or superficial. The characters had some dimension to them.

Alona wasn't a complete stereotypical high-school princess, at least, not after a few chapters. It was interesting to see that sometimes she wasn't trying to be mean, but just truthful (like with the zitty guy who asked out).

Will, thankfully, wasn't just a weirdo goth kid with an attitude problem about the popular kids and life in general. I didn't think it was going to turn out that he had a history of dealing with ghosts (I thought the premise was going to be more of a one-off, why is HE the only one who can see her? type deal) so that gave his character some depth. The two had a nice chemistry.

I honestly expected that
SpoilerAlona was going to into Lily's empty body at the end, since it was weird and sticky when she touched it.
But then I also just noticed as I went to add this book to my 'read' list that there is going to be a second one, which explains why the book ended the way it did. I would have been OK with it ending as one book, but I think I'll enjoy reading the continuation to see where it goes.

This book is light, humorous, cute and fun! Alona and Will are very likable characters and their point of views doesn't mixed together. All in all, this book is my cup of tea :)

It is just too bad that opposites attract after one becomes a spirit.

Cute story, yet holds a bit of truth about the social hierarchy of our society.

I recommend this read.

Basically it's like a teen high school movie from the 1990s or the beginning of the 2000s but with ghosts! Perhaps movie Clueless meets Mediator book series or something else like it... So totally my cup of tea!
