The Ghost Files 2 by Apryl Baker
4.0
***I do my reviews in the form of questions***
What made me pick this book up:
It was the second one in a book I already read.
What did I like about the cover:
I don't really care for this cover, it looks badly edited. Like a b list movie posted. Though I do like b list movies.. Anyway. I like the cover for the first one much more. The only thing this one has is some creep factor
What made me read this book:
I read and really liked the first one. Plus we already had it on audio and it was a fast read.
What did I like the most:
As with the first one, it was creepy and crawly and made me want more. It's a simple and quick read but still succeeded in the creep factor. Officer Dan is still one of my favorite characters, and now there's even more yummy, protective guys to love. I really like the different "types" of ghosts that are in the books as well.
What didn't I like:
Mattie is still kind of whiny. I understand you were in the system, you had crappy homes for a bit. But I'm sorry, I think the whole ghosts thing is kind of top priority. Focus on that, not your crappy childhood. At one point, one of the other characters even pointed out how she always focuses on the negative in life, when she has so much good going for her.
This quote right here says so much as to what I'm talking about...
“I’m a screwed up mess that no one can ever love, not really. Why did I ever let myself hope I could find a little happiness? Pointless.”
Would I read the rest of the series/more from this author?
Eh, yeah probably. They're quick enough reads, but I don't think I would spend money on buying them. They probably aren't anything I'll ever read again. I think I found them on kindle unlimited so I might do it that way. So I will probably read the rest eventually
I mostly liked it. Creepy and quick. I think if it was any longer of a book, I wouldn't want to read it. Because it's short I don't feel like it's a waste of time. And that's why I gave it a 4 star. Because it is a quick read.
“According to him, people who can see ghosts the way I can are meant to be reapers after they die. Reapers help souls get from this plane to the next by navigating through The Between, a place of shades and horrors that want to consume the energy of the newly freed soul. That’s why I can see ghosts and open a doorway to The Between.” ― Apryl Baker, The Ghost Files 2
