A dog that sees ghosts? What is going on here? Lol!
Thanks for a detailed, intriguing review.
I agree wholeheartedly that the premise of this book is interesting. It had me questioning if my dog sees ghosts when she barks at empty corners :shock:. Thank you for your feedback!

It was definitely an interesting book! I would love to read it again after additional editing. Thank you for your feedback!

I also liked that Laura was dealing with real-life issues. I'm not sure if I could handle having a dog that sees ghosts; every bark would have me convinced that a ghost was watching me. Thank you for your feedback!

The book has a great plot, but I completely understand that the errors and unclear dialogues would put you off this book in its current state. Thank you for your comment!
I hope it gets edited soon, It sure has potential to be better.

Despite its flaws, I would like to read the book. I am so curious to see what Could has to... bark about the ghosts! :) Thank you for this honest review!

Yes, I agree there is a gap in the story. The dog's ability should definitely have evoked questions. Thanks for a detailed review.

This wouldn’t be my types of read. It is too bad there isn’t a lot of character development. Thank you for the interesting review.

I like how the author set the plot of the book. Among other things a dog that can see ghosts is a really interesting detail.
