Life After Theft: Aprilynne Pike

Post by abbysyabooks »

"There she was, looking far too real to be a figment of my imagination. 'You're not real and you need to leave me alone' I said slowly, carefully. Kimberlee rolled her eyes. 'I am real; it's just that no else can see me. You can see me and that's all that matters. I need your help."

I have recently read another book by Aprilynne Pike and loved it so I thought I should give some more of her books a try. It's a good thing I tied this book, because I wasn't quite sure about it, it was really good. I have read some other ghost based stories but nothing like this! Kimberlee is a ghost but she can't "move on" unless all the boxes of stuff she stole is returned to the owner. Jeff is the only one that can see and help her. This book is funny but the ending got to me :(

If you guys like funny-ghost-YA-fiction books this is the book for you.

I read this not that long ago.
I enjoyed it very much.
I didn't like Kimberlee at first...and it took me quite a while to change my mind, but I did change my mind.
I'm planning on reading Sleep No More sometime soon.

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Latest Review: Island Games by Caleb J. Boyer

Post by LivreAmour217 »

I'll have to give this book a read. I live in an area that is famous for its paranormal activity, and I recently went on a tour of my community's historic buildings. At each stop, I got to hear a ghost story from someone who actually lives or works in each building. It was very interesting and it got me wondering why so many departed people have been seemingly unable to move on. Sorry for babbling, I guess I am just trying to say that I like the idea behind this book--the ghost not being able to leave Earth until her wrongs are righted. It's definitely food for thought.
