Only The Good Die Young by Chris Marie Green

5.0

I can sometimes be daunted by the amount of pages in a book and set it aside for later. Not so with this one. It is 403 pages, but it moves super-fast and I finished in a couple of mornings of coffee and reading time on the back patio. It was so enjoyable with such a cool premise that it was difficult to put down to go to breakfast or movies with the young'n who is on summer break and likes to go to breakfast and the movies with me. So I did...I'm a mom..but I was glad this was my purse book and it could go along with us....
Jensen Murphy was murdered in the 80's and was caught in a time-loop until Amanda Lee, a psychic intuitive, brought her out of it. Amanda Lee wants to help Jensen solve her murder, but Jensen finds out Amanda Lee wants more than that.
I liked watching Jensen come to terms with being a ghost and how to be one. It's a process, one doesn't automatically know the ins-and-outs of ghost-dom apparently. Jensen is smart and ready to figuratively stand on her own two feet as a ghost, especially after finding out Amanda Lee isn't all she claims.
There are other ghosts to meet and learn from, all from different eras. They get bored easily, do ghosts, so they like helping Jensen. For the most part.
I am really looking forward to the rest of this series. It's scary, sweet, funny, back to scary.
Definite recommend.
