This book is not only a murder mystery but is funny, quirky and heart warming all in one. It really did keep me on the edge of my seat but not in a nail biting chilling way and all the characters are wonderfully written in such a fun loving way. I highly recommend this book to any fellow cozy murder mystery lover... you won't be disappointed.” Reviewer Michelle Reader reviews of DATE WITH A GHOST: “I love this story. It has such a melancholy air from the beginning... The story unravels slowly, a clue here and there, while keeping your interest all the time and getting you engaged in Samantha's wellbeing. And doesn't matter what you think you know, at the end you'll be surprised for the final twist of the story. A very unusual cozy, but one I truly enjoyed.” - Reviewer Clau “Great story with likable and loathsome characters alike. Kept me guessing!” Reviewer Amanda Reader reviews of DANCING WITH A GHOST: “The foreboding atmosphere that is present from the first line of the story keeps you enthralled to the story. Nothing is what it seems, and Katie acts as an unreliable narrator as we never are sure about what's going on with her... the circumstances around the actual murder? That got me totally by surprise.” - Reviewer Clau
