The Haunting of Josie

I mainly read mystery and don't like romance but I did like this book. I like this writers style and really wish the book had more of the mystery and less of the romance. I thought it was kinda funny that this ghost seemed to want her to do something and was getting impatient but for most of the book the guy was trying to get into the girl's pants and she was pushing him away but at the same time wanting him. Meanwhile, the ghost can't really do anything but mime at her to hurry up and keep moving a key around to get her attention. The cat part was very interesting and kinda funny and left me wishing I wasn't allergic to them.

So the bulk of the book, which is short, is about the relationship of the two main characters and the ghost part is short of a backdrop. Now that I've finished it I find myself wondering about things that were left dangling. Like, I wish I could have read about them working on her father's case, and what was up with the old woman having the same hair and eye color as Josie and asking if they were related? I mean, it is pretty odd for anyone to have red hair and “violet eyes” and then she meets this old woman who had the same hair and eye color (at least when she was younger.) It almost feels like I am missing the other half of the book.

I do have to say though, if I came across another book by this author I'd be tempted to read it since her romance writing isn't too “Gag me with a spoon man.”
