Different people, different ways to feel ghosts. The main character starts to taste food that he have never had since he is a kid. Once he realizes what they are and what he can do with it. He starts to unite the living and the death through food. But he doesn't know that there is a price with his gift. I didn't know that there were hungry ghosts! 
I read the book the moment I received it but I started to get bored half way through the book and then it was like a rollercoaster: from 5 to 3 to 5. The ending was good but not great. I will recommend it to a lot of people because it's not scary but intense. Sadly not a 5star read for me.
