This was a different take on ghosts but it was a little heavy on the cheese and very light on any kind of realism. It reads very episodic so there's a lot of time missing between chapters and therefore a lot of information is also missing about the rules of this "ghost" and the paranormal in this world. Somehow, Adam is powerful enough to cook and clean and basically exist like a living person that can disappear at will. And, because Danny can't afford to move and is too stubborn anyway, they're forced to interact every day, so Danny falls in love with him. It's all very Stockholm Syndrome.
Halfway through the book, Danny uses some heavy black magic (using a tome bought on eBay of course) to bring Adam back from the "in between" and into a completely living person - supposedly all with the power of love and some Latin. While I understand this is paranormal fiction and therefore the author can do whatever they want, it just seems a little too implausible. I feel like maybe they got this conjuring idea from Beetlejuice but there ultimately were no stakes like in that movie, except that Adam apparently only gets to live for a single year. Don't worry, all they have to do is re-do the ritual with some blood every year for the rest of their lives. No big deal, right?
I initially felt like I really liked the story because it was unique and the love story is very sweet, especially the last chapter about the afterlife, but in hindsight I just have too many questions and it goes down in rating the more I think about it. This is definitely for people that care more about a sappy romance rather than the paranormal aspects or any kind of discernable plot.… (plus d'informations)
