Spirit and Dust by Rosemary Clement-Moore
4.0
Definitely an interesting take on the whole ghost thing.
I loved the fact that Moore was able to incorporate mythology with the spirit, psychic and magic world. She was also able to through in a little bit of a crime family and a mystery.
Daisy is really different from other girls. She is able to see the dead and talk to them. She gets thrown back in time in places like a museum. She also much prefers to wear her converses with skulls and crossbones drawn all over them. Her psychic ability allows her to help out the FBI on certain cases and when she stumbles on the disappearance of Alexis Maguire, it looks like she may have bitten off more then she can chew. Daisy is a very compassionate person; she is willing to help Alexis without the whole 3 promise thing. She is also very sarcastic and I love sarcastic characters.
Moore had a really great blend of all her elements. The psychic thing worked in really well with the detective parts. The plot was really good, too. All of the elements were blended together very equally. I didn't find any one thing that seemed to overshadow the rest. The way that Moore incorporated the Egyptian Mythology was genius as well. It added another part to the plot and it was a present surprises. I didn't know that there was going to be mythology and it really added to the intrigue of the plot. It made the plot seem more complex, but at the same time, it was still very easy to understand/read.
This is the first book I've read by Moore and I have to say that she has very much impressed me. It was a very unique type of novel and I look forward to reading more by her in the future.
