Ghosted in L.A., Vol. 1 by Cathy Le, Siobhan Keenan, Sina Grace
3.0

Daphne follows her boyfriend to college, but things don't go quite according to plan and boom, she finds herself in a fancy ol' building full of ghosts. Fun times all around.

I'm always here for ghost stories, but in this they're essentially more side-characters than mains and yet they're the most interesting part of the story, which is a tad unfortunate. Daphne was a bit generic and boring, and the pacing was all over the place, but the ghosts were great and saved it, for the most part - I loved the little glimpses into their "former" lives. The illustrations made it easy to distinguish between the different timelines and who was alive and who wasn't, which was neat, but the lack of plot and purpose made it all a bit messy. Where's it going? What's the end-game?

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
