The Forgotten Child by Melissa Erin Jackson

5.0

The Forgotten Child, by Melissa Erin Jackson, is a fast-paced paranormal mystery/thriller. It also has a side of romance. 

The romance took me by surprise, as I really wasn't expecting this book to have any. I have to admit, I ended up liking it, so although I thought it was quite cheesy and cringe-worthy at the very start, in the end I have to say I rooted for it.

I really liked the paranormal elements. It made me think of the Ghost Whisperer TV show, which I remember really liking when I was younger. 

This book is the first of a duology, and although I'm not picking up the next book right away, I'm definitely adding it to my TBR! 

The characters are really likeable and the plotline is gripping right from the start. I devoured this book and always wanted to go back to it. It literally felt like I was watching a show! Mixing True Crime, with the whole interacting-with-the-dead elements, it was the perfect mix. 

Although the chapters were kind of long, it still read easily as there wasn't a dull moment. I always wanted to know what happened next. 

I found this book on a Stuff Your Kindle Day event and I hadn't heard of it or the author before. I'm really glad I did and I'll definitely recommend it to people!
