After RT14, with enough people raving about this series, I felt I had to read it myself. 
 I have to say that I am so happy for these recommendations because I truly loved this book. I'm not much into the whole ghost story business and was a bit nervous that was what I was getting in to- I was kind of wrong and kind of right. Does that make sense? 
 So, there are obviously ghosts since Charley (protagonist) sees dead people. Since, you know... She's the grim reaper. 
 The story went at an even pace and the protagonist is hilarious. You are hooked into the story line, instantly, and left with too many questions to not purchase the second book before you finish this first book in the series... Like it did. 4.5 for this one. Loved it!
