Ask for Andrea

This was an interesting and fresh spin on a supernatural thriller!

Told in 3 points of view of three women who have already been murdered. Meghan, Brecia and Skye all fell for James. He's as charismatic as he is handsome...but something very dangerous lurks beneath all of that...something they didn't see until it was too late..... but just because stay dead doesn't mean that you have to stay quiet.

I thought the authors take on the ghostly women and their afterlife was fantastic. The pacing was mostly slow throughout the book. I do not mean that it was boring. Not at all. I actually didn't want to put the book because I wanted to know what each woman would do or figure out next. Also there were few parts that got me a bit teary eyed, not from fear as I didn't find the book scary at all, but from the emotions pouring forth from all three. I'll definitely keep an eye on this author.

I'm glad I started this one blind because if I had read the blurb I probably wouldn't have picked it up, I'm not the biggest fan of thrillers where we already know who the killer is or of ghost stories so at face value this one really wouldn't have been for me, but I found myself really enjoying my time with it. Partly because the ghosts are really compelling and nicely developed as characters and the thriller aspect is almost secondary to their development. I guess what I'm trying to say here is if you're not much of a thriller or ghost story type you might still want to give this one a go.

Now this was an interesting premise for a crime novel! We follow three women post-murder as they actively pursue the man who murdered them. The goal is to communicate with the living in order to get him caught. While I enjoyed the idea for this book, it lacked plot development. The plot was more one-note than I would've liked. The character development was better but it still fell short. Overall, this is a paranormal crime read which is cool, but I wanted more.
