Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman
2.0

2 stars to Ghost Eaters.

*Sigh* much like Hell House I wanted to love this book, the premise intrigued me, but it just didn’t work for me at all and I kind of wish I had DNF’d it.

I will say the writing was really good and it did keep me turning the pages, I think the author had a great idea, the execution just didn’t work for me.

I loved the idea of exploring grief and addiction through the idea of a drug (Ghost) that lets you see the dead, but the characters of this story were just so one dimensional that it seemed to take away from the overall enjoyment for me. Erin's obsession with Silas became a bit much for me and by the end (especially the last chapter) I was just kind of done with her. And Tobias was just….ugh. Amara was the only one I liked.

This was most likely a case of wrong book wrong time for me, but I just wasn’t a fan. I’m not not recommending it, as I know many people have loved it, but it wasn’t for me.
