Search - Ghost of a Chance (Chintz 'n China, Bk 1)

Not my cup of tea, thank you very much. I read to page 94, then gave it up. First, there's a bit too much romance for this big he-man reader :). When our heroine finds herself sitting on the lap of the newly-met sensitive hunk... well, I didn't get a thrill.

The other problem is the overly horror-book-style treatment of the otherworldly elements. A seance with the appearance of a sinister but amorphous dark force of enormous power was the last straw. I like ghosts and can tolerate lots of paranormal stuff, but this is over the top for me. I almost quit when the evil black force took possession of the heroine's young son, but I kept plugging away it until the seance scene, when it just became too much.

On the other hand, you may love this stuff. Just not me. I discussed it with my wife, and she said to go ahead and list the book rather than saving it for her to try.

I gave this book about 60 pages or so. By the time I was on page 51 I had decided I didn't care who did what to who or why.

Not really a cozy in my opinion. I love a good paranormal cozy but this was just not it. When the son got possessed by something I was pretty much done. I had all of these books on my wishlist but after reading the first part of this one I deleted all of them.

This was my very first cozy mystery and I thought it was very good. Good characters you feel you can get to know and I like the paranormal edge to it as well. Can't wait to read more of her!

The book is enjoyable, if you can get past the first few
chapters. I did it was a good book. This is the first in the series. They get better as you go. It is a light ghost story/murder mystery. A medium read.

I enjoyed this story. It is bit more light-hearted than many of the paranormal romance out there (less steamy sex). The main character is easy to identify with and very likeable. I think that it would be a good book for people who may be just getting started with paranormal romance.

I have read other books by this author and love them. This book was different but just as good. A first I was not sure I could read this book as it kept me up. I don't like books that hurt kids. But once I got past the first 2 chapters it was great. So don't stop, keep reading. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.
