My Review:
This book was a quick, ok read. I suppose I've never read book #1.5 in a series, and therefore was expecting a more complete novel.
Daisy is your typical High School outcast, until the day tragedy strikes. Daisy's world is turned upside down, and she ends up homeless, taking shelter in the graveyard. As the store progresses Daisy finds herself to be more different than she thought. She has super human speed and strength and a tattoo that just magically appeared. Daisy can also talk to and see ghosts and she starts trying to help them cross over. It was very Ghost Whisperer.
I enjoyed Daisy's story, but the closer to the end it got, the faster it moved. Fewer things were fleshed out, and suddenly, FIN. Again, perhaps it's my ignorance for a 1.5 book in a series, or maybe it was truly unfulfilled ideas and storyline. Either way, I don't think I'll continue on with this series. The introduction of the series characters was very sudden, very choppy and frankly not all that interesting. I am a bit curious why Daisy and crew have the powers they have, but just not curious enough.
This book had a good concept but poor execution.
