Kristi's Reviews > Give Up the Ghost

Another fantastic debut novel! Give Up the Ghost had a more serious tone that I had initially anticipated. Which wasn't a bad thing, but it took me a while to switch gears. That's why you should never have a predisposition about a book! I wasn’t expecting the prominent role that death played in this novel, I mean sure it’s about ghosts, but I was thinking more along the lines of happy times with Casper the friendly ghost, something more light-hearted. Anyhow, once I switched myself over to a more serious mood, I immensely enjoyed the book. I mean not that is was scary or extremely serious by any means, but it wasn't fluffy. However, there were several humorous moments that really added to the story.

Megan has a great writing style, it flows nicely, it’s not overdone. The characters are well developed. And even though I thought Cass was a bit of a hypocrite, I can see why she did what she did. I would have liked to have gotten more back story about Cass and her ability. I needed more of an explanation than she just developed it one day.

It was definitely something different. Loved the fresh aspects of redemption, and hope.
