I really liked the premise of this and overall I enjoyed the book - I just found it took until about a third of the way through before it picked up momentum. I’m glad I persevered with it though because once it caught my attention I was hooked.
Sparrow had a really good voice – very humorous – and I could understand her wish to be ‘normal’ and her fear that if people learnt the truth they wouldn’t accept her. Her family was really quirky (especially her grandma) and they added to the fun and wit of the novel. I really liked Luke and Jack as well as Sparrow’s 'spirit guides' – Luke’s story was handled with care by the author and you really felt for his family.
Overall it was good and kind of reminded me of Meg Cabot’s Mediator series. The ending was really sweet and despite the slow start I was left wanting more – I’d like to see more of Sparrow Delaney.

I did not expect this book to be as good as it was. I bought it for $2.99 as part of an after christmas sale on barnes and noble's website and I thought I'd give it a shot. I liked the whole concept of the book- seeing ghosts and the afterlife. After the first few chapters I didn't really have much motivation to finish it because it was going a little slow but I guess I feel that way about a lot of books. It did pick up and I'm glad I finished it. My favorite character was Luke and I'm glad Sparrow decided to help him even if it meant exposing her abilities.
Well I suppose this book was ok. If Sparrow sees ghosts everywhere it dosen't make very much sense that no one has found out after like a decade. also if she has been oh so very good at hiding it why is it now that she can never seem to ignore them.
also the ending wasnt very good and left unanswered questions. and why did her best friend, who she doesnt seem to be very friendly with, get mad that sparrow doesnt tell her about the ghost thing?
Bottom line: good when you have nothing better to do.
