Darkest Journey by Heather Graham

1.0

This was awful. Poorly-written, saccharine drivel. For example, look at this paragraph of dialogue:

I only vaguely remember him from school. Like you, he was three years older--a huge difference back then--and I know you were both on the football team. He seemed like a decent man when I talked to him last night.

This is the heroine talking to the love interest. Some one she went to high school with, who knows all this already, and who probably also knows that she knows all this already. Who talks like this? Someone practicing to be a narrator?

Also every one was too black and white to be believable. The protagonists were all golden boys and angels, and the killers

were just greedy and willing to kill to make a bunch of money.

Not a single character had any depth to them. Even the ghost aspect wasn't interesting. You would think a series about a branch of the FBI that specializes in seeing ghosts would have some interesting tactics to use that in their investigations. Convince the ghosts to spy for you, because most people can't see them or something. But no, they function pretty much like living people and just act as extra witnesses to interview, not even particularly useful witnesses at that. Mostly they just pop up and go "Oooo, you're in danger." Great, that helps a lot. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
