BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 3/5
This was a dud, sadly. I loved the idea of what it could be, but what it was wasn't that great. It didn't have very interesting characters, they didn't really grow. They also just kept repeating the same things over and over again. All Zach could focus on was his new disability, (which yeah, that did suck) and his distaste over now being a P.I. instead of a Police Officer. He thought being a Police Officer was more noble.
All Clare could go on about was did she see ghosts or not, did she want to help the ghosts or not. If she didn't help them, she would go CRAZY! Like literally crazy and then she would wither away and die. Over half of the book was her being in denial of all things ghost.
Clare's ability is also a little strange. She can only see ghosts from 1850-1900. I guess that was a way for this series to only be about cowboy ghosts.
Enzo the ghost dog was an odd choice. He's a talking ghost dog that reminded me a lot of Dug. Like maybe you don't want your dog to talk to you.
The ghosts could have been cool, but they took more of a backseat in the story. I've read better ghost seeing series. Cassidy Blake by V.E. Schwab and The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot are two that come right to mind.
The romance was cringe, cheesy. It wasn't romance, it was just lust. It started with insta-love, then there was this weird, I can't be with you because I can't date a crazy person who sees ghosts, and then he comes back maybe the next chapter. And then all he thought of was sex. That's it.
Clare constantly brought up how she was now very wealthy and made she sure showed that wealth off by very generous tips and buying stuff. Seemed to me that she just liked blowing her money.
I just didn't really enjoy it. I thought it was going to be a fast read, but it took me a while to push myself through it. I don't know if I'll continue on with the series.
