review 1: Honestly I'm not sure how to rate this book. It was good, but; ghosts. For some reason when I read the back I totally missed that it dealt with ghosts. By the time it dawned on me, I now wanted to know what the conclusion was.Pros: Rhys (pronounced Reese). Sylvie's name, it unusual and pretty. John, I liked even though Sylvie didn't at first. Captivating writing.Cons: Swearing and using God's name in vain, numerous times. Ghosts. Sort of and not really. Mostly they're only talked about and 'felt', not many actual interactions with them. The parts where the author threw in Christian religion. God, ghosts and magic shouldn't co-exist in the same book. If there is God, there can't be ghosts and magic. It there is ghosts and magic, then God shouldn't be mentione... mored!So my rating is 2.5. I didn't like enough for 3, but i didn't dislike it enough for 2.
review 2: The cover made it look kind of supernatural (which it is), but the synopsis at the back made the book seem more pedestrian, with overcoming barriers. Which it is, but near the middle I found that between the trying normality, romance and mystery, some parts were a bit lacking. HOWEVER, it resolved those issues pretty well and it kind of makes me want a sequel (though it isn't necessary at all). :) less
