review 1: Interesting book. I liked how the author dived right into the story where the reader, and Jaclyn, discover together that she is dead (and now a ghost). Problem is her death is actually a murder but the police write it off as suicide/drug overdose. She is given two choices: A. go to Hell (which is not what you, or Jaclyn, thinks it is - but that Hell is Earth) where she could begin life, a much quieter life than the one she had been leading as a model, again with a young couple that are expecting a girl. B. opt to have 24 hours to figure out the answer to the question on why she has had 200+ previous lives but not yet made to Heaven. However, with the last option comes the risk that she remains in Limbo (earthbound ghost/specter) at her apartment building. She choses B, and... more with Logan Smith - a ghost she meets at her demise - wishing to help her. At first the only person that can hear them is a crime photographer slash medium. Naturally the crime photographer winds up also trying to help Jaclyn and Logan on this quest as well. Who and why was Jaclyn killed ... and will she go to Heaven. Of course it isn't smooth sailing - which brings in humor and some twists to the story while Logan and Jaclyn race against time.Although I liked the Heaven/Hell/Limbo and the ghost/spectre angles - as well as the ghosts/specter's 'fear' of 'well-meaning' ghost hunters ... some of it was cornishly convenient even in a paranormal sense. Overall, though, it was a very enjoyable story that I will likely pick up to read again in the future.
review 2: Jaclyn's ghost is a well written and "fun" read. Jaclyn wakes up to find a strange man in her room. She is confused and then finds out that she is dead and that the man is another ghost. His name is Logan and he lives in her apartment building.Jaclyn was a fashion model and had a lucrative career. She finds out that she was murdered and decides not to continue on in "hell", living lifetime after lifetime to try to qualify for entry into heaven. She has a chance to redeem herself and figure out what she did wrong and enter into heaven.Logan, the handsome and helpful ghost volunteers to help her. They find a medium named Morgan and the three of them investigate who and why Jaclyn was murdered.Mystery, romance, redemption, and friendship run through the pages of this book. It is cute, clean, and will leave you with a smile on your face. less
