addy1991's review
3.0
The stakes are high in this story! Past and present are on a collision course and the end results are a wild card. Emma and company stumble across more than they bargain for when they go to visit Milo's mom in Las Vegas. Behind the glitter and glam, they have to figure out what is real and what isn't among the living and the dead. It was a compelling story and I'm looking forward to reading the next one in this series.
ivleafclover's review against another edition
2.0
Given to me as a gift. It's a cute concept, and enjoyable except for the weirdly stilted language that seems to plague this kind of genre fiction--e.g., "that was my favorite book as a youth." Really? Not just "as a kid"? I thought that character was supposed to be a "youth" in the 1960s, not the 1860s. How does stuff like that get past the copyeditor?
Some of the reviews indicate that the series is funny, but I didn't find much to ha-ha about in this one. I'd like to go back and read the first one to get Granny Apples's full backstory and to see if Jaffarian really is the "literary heir apparent to Lucille Ball," as the back cover copy claims.

3.5 stars. A good, entertaining, well-written read, but not my favourite of the four so far; the premise was a bit 'out there' even for a ghost story. I still highly recommend it though, as Ms. Jaffarian writes an excellent story with characters that act their age, fantastic settings and better than average plots.
