spinesinaline's review
3.0
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a cute ghost story in honour of Friday the 13th! I say cute because the story follows a nice farmer and his ghost adventures in the midst of his interactions with family and his girlfriend, Julie. It felt for the most part like a nice, wholesome story.
I didn't read the first book in the series and that doesn't seem to have hampered my reading at all. The author gives enough information in this book on what happened in the last so you won't be lost.
I had some problems with the book, mainly that, as one reviewer already said, it was pretty anticlimactic. There was a lot leading up to a big fight but the fight never really came. I enjoyed the lead-up but it such an easy resolution that I just felt let down by the end.
Julie's portrayal also really bothered me. She was constantly described by how attracted Franklin was to her, even when the situation was completely inappropriate. I think the author was trying to set up their relationship and how in love they were but it was clear from her first introduction. Franklin falling head over heels every single time she was with him was unnecessary.
I'd like to see more from this series because of the feel-good tone but hopefully the author finds better ways of describing female characters.
