BOOK REVIEW: The Ghost And The Goth

Title: The Gost And The Goth

Author: Stacey Kade

Series: The Ghost And The Goth (Book One)

 

Description:

Alona Dare–Senior in high school, co-captain of the cheerleading squad, Homecoming Queen three years in a row, voted most likely to marry a movie star… and newly dead.

I’m the girl you hated in high school. Is it my fault I was born with it all-good looks, silky blond hair, a hot bod, and a keen sense of what everyone else should not be wearing? But my life isn’t perfect, especially since I died. Run over by a bus of band geeks—is there anything more humiliating? As it turns out, yes—watching your boyfriend and friends move on with life, only days after your funeral. And you wouldn’t believe what they’re saying about me now that they think I can’t hear them. To top it off, I’m starting to disappear, flickering in and out of existence. I don’t know where I go when I’m gone, but it’s not good. Where is that freaking white light already?

Will Killian–Senior in high school, outcast, dubbed “Will Kill” by the popular crowd for the unearthly aura around him, voted most likely to rob a bank…and a ghost-talker.

I can see, hear, and touch the dead. Unfortunately, they can also see, hear and touch me. Yeah, because surviving high school isn’t hard enough already. I’ve done my best to hide my “gift.” After all, my dad, who shared my ability, killed himself because of it when I was fifteen. But lately, pretending to be normal has gotten a lot harder. A new ghost—an anonymous, seething cloud of negative energy with the capacity to throw me around—is pursuing me with a vengeance. My mom, who knows nothing about what I can do, is worrying about the increase in odd incidents, my shrink is tossing around terms like “temporary confinement for psychiatric evaluation,” and my principal, who thinks I’m a disruption and a faker, is searching for every way possible to get rid of me. How many weeks until graduation?

Review:

Oh, wow! Saying that I liked it would be an understatement. It was great! I couldn't put it down! Not even for dinner. I am so glad that I can red ebooks on my phone! I didn't have to stop reading because I had to eat. I ate and read at the same time.
It took me some pages to get to like both Alona and Will as characters, but then they charmed me.
They really changed each other in some way. They made each other better peoples. I liked them a lot. Especially together.
And the story was really good. And funny. And somewhat sweet. And a tiny bit...uhm... I wouldn't quite say "scary" but mostly "dark". Some times.
I liked that I had the point of view of both the main characters. And I really could get myself into the characters and feel what and how they were feeling. I feared with them, I suffered with them, I smiled with them, I tensed with them, I loved with them, and I felt angry like them.
I can't wait to start reading book 2 "Queen Of The Dead". I want more of Alona and Will. I can't get enough of them!
Highly recommended! A MUST READ!
