The Ghost Files by Apryl Baker
4.0
3.75/5 Stars.
I went into this book not expecting much, I had recently gotten Audible and decided to pick out something that has been on my TBR for a really long time.
This book was really entertaining and considering that it's supposed to be a murder mystery/paranormal novel, it had made me laugh out loud more times than I thought I would. The main character Mattie is sassy, sarcastic and has a straight up attitude and could bring anyone to their knees. She is strong headed and guarded, like any teenager in and out of foster homes, and can only trust one person, officer Dan. Oh, and she can see dead people.
When she sees the ghost of her foster sister at a party, hands bound, mouth taped shut and a bullet hole in her head, she stops at nothing to bring her killer to justice, even if it means getting help from the ghosts she's been trying to ignore her whole life.
Like any paranormal novel, there are some elements wrong with it. But I've always been a sucker for them, add in a murder mystery and I'm on board.
There are some scenes that didn't make sense and felt like they were all over the place, and then there were some things that just didn't add up. Let's not forget the fact that she chose to trust a complete stranger as soon as she saw him, especially since her trust in law enforcement was close to non-existent.
The narrator of the novel was very entertaining. Because of her, I am excited to continue with the series and see where it goes from where it left off.
