Ghost Seer by Robin D. Owens

1.0

What an incredibly poorly written book. The female protagonist is about as exciting as watching paint dry and she is unbelievably whiny all. The. Time. She finds herself with a gift to see ghosts — a gift that mysteriously only appears when her aunt dies, with undefined, poorly described powers and equally undefined, poorly described consequences of she chooses to ignore her gift. (All we know is they will be terribly, horribly bad, but not how or why.) She refuses to accept her gift for a large part of the book, even though it’s impossible to ignore. She meets a guy and fantasizes about how he’ll fit into the house she wants to buy less than two days after meeting him! She quits her job and then whines about not having one. The male protagonist is almost as bad; he’s been seeing crows his entire life and refuses to acknowledge his ability. He is ridiculously possessive of a woman he has just met. (It’s not actually attractive to show up to a lunch your new girlfriend is having with another guy and make innuendos about how you’re having sex with her.
Aside from the characters, the details of this book were just stupid. Who lets a guy they’ve JUST met, drive their car when going somewhere with him? Why in the world wouldn’t she just drive her own car?? And that was just one of many chauvinistic incidents. The story was boring and the other characters bland. The romantic aspects were hilariously lame and there was no actual chemistry between them. What an utter waste of time.
