The Ghost Files 3 by Apryl Baker

4.0

This is basically a review for the first three books, which are the only ones published at the writing of this review (not counting the novella 3.5).

I really, really enjoyed the first book in the series. By the time I reached the second book, the drama of all the many relationships going on were starting to annoy me. While reading book 3, I gave off more than one audible sigh as I felt like shaking the characters and screaming at them, "Pick one guy/girl already! Quit toying with everyone!" Ugh. I mean, seriously. It gets old. Also, there were some pretty selfish decisions made in this book that did not seem to fit with the character. That left a sour taste in my mouth. The antagonists seemed to come out of nowhere and didn't make a lot of sense. Not to mention,

Spoiler

the web of all the people being related to other people and discovering in shocking ways, loses its potency pretty quickly.

Need some closure on some stuff and just have people move on in book 4.

Now, reading my above complaints, you might think I didn't like the book...but I did. In spite of all the things that got on my nerves, there is a really good plot going on throughout the series. So, I'm giving this book 4 stars, in spite of the characters I want to strangle I love the idea of Mattie's powers and her snarkiness.
