Synopsis
From the acclaimed author of Charmed & Dangerous comes a sassy new paranormal romance about a gorgeous librarian who sees dead people.
Kira Smythe never thought she'd end up back in her hometown of Sweet, Texas. But now that her high-powered job, along with her five-year plan, have gone right out the window, she's back where she started, staying with her hippie, tofu- obsessed parents-except that somehow she's inherited the local library. At least there's a gorgeous guy in town who seems quite smitten with her. So what if he's got a few secrets up his sleeve? After all, Kira's got her own secrets. Like the dead people who won't stop talking to her. Or the magical books on the shelves. Or the fact that someone who's very much alive seems determined to push her over to the other side.

September 02, 2009: This book is fun. I enjoyed Kira's evolution from overworked lawyer to super librarian. Kira's journey in this book leads her to the realization that she has been wasting personal time working and trying to keep up with the Jones'. While on this journey, she learns that her parents are not as inept as she thought and that she can communicate with ghosts. She inherits a terrific job/responsibility. Personally, the relationship with Caleb was too sappy for me, but it didn't deter from the story. I hope there is another and it features more of those funny and nosy ghosts.

March 18, 2008: It seems to be an annoying trend in contemporary chicklit romances that the heroine be obsessed with designer shoes and fashion and feel compelled to describe every garment she puts on down to her underwear. It takes up page space but it does much for the story. Every time Kira gets dressed, the reader gets a full description, which I found a bit annoying. The elements in this story are pretty good but the delivery is just okay. The solution to Kira's problems, if they can be called that, is immediately obvious but it nevertheless takes her the greater part of the book to discover it. There are various elements that are good in their own right but somehow they don't quite come together as well as I would have liked. It's a bit flawed, but nevertheless a light, quick, inoffensive read.
