Fantastic & frightening finale to the series (currently)! Once more author Allison walks the fine line between fun adventure and hair-raising ghostly encounters, setting this outing in the super-haunted St. Augustine, FL. She deftly challenges her teenage heroine with big life changes amid lantern tours, archeological digs, and family secrets. Gilda (thankfully) still hasn't learned not to snoop for the truth and there's many laugh then scream aloud moments. Give the audiobook series a try - I found that I didn't want to "read" the books because narrator Jessica Alamay is such a pleasure to listen to, switching accents / ages / sexes with ease. I hope for more GJ psychic investigations!

Co dodat. Tahle série je mou srdcovou záležitostí. Jsem ráda, že jsem se rozhodla i po těch letech si celou sérii dočíst. S Gildou se člověk nenudí.

I don't know - maybe this is one of those series wherein I like every other book? The best bits of this one were a) the St. Augustine setting (I renew my desire to visit) and how it influences the story (I think, actually, Allison does this consistently well, looking back on my comments re: the last one) and b) the spooky factor is upped a bit. Alas, lots of mediocre bits fleshing it out. I just wasn't very engaged.

The fifth book in the Gilda Joyce mystery series. Gilda's mom takes a weekend trip to Florida and comes back with a fiancée. Gilda and her mom fly down to St. Augustine, Florida for the whirlwind wedding, and Gilda discovers the house her mother's fiancée lives in is haunted by a woman in a white wedding dress. Is the ghost trying to tell Gilda something about Eugene before the wedding? Fans of the series will enjoy this installment.
