Ghost Slayer

I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

I always request Net Adult books and then get really nervous I won't like them, since that is what tends to be the case. I'm glad to say, I quite enjoyed this one– but I also raced through it.

This book has a lot of problems. The characters run kind of flat, things don't always make sense or it is like the author changed their mind (person who Kaelyn barely talks to later is known as their best friend, never hangs out with people yet she totally does and it is messing with her, and Kaelyn's powers seem all over the place and aren't actually defined).
Along with Kaelyn's powers not being defined, the world/setting itself isn't defined either which made the book a little confusing. There is a course at the college about ghost hunting and some people pay for ghost slaying and exorcisms, yet people also don't believe in ghosts. Which is it?? And the college thing, COME ON! It was written more like high school in the way that 1. there is a field trip for a WHOLE weekend (okay, yeah I have heard of this happening but it is rare), 2. the course spans TWO semesters??? No. No way. Not the same course– it would be marked different and the same students might not be in it.

The most confusing character is Professor Logan. Just pick what you want him to be!! He seemed all over the place and making him a potential love interest was so weird.

The romance isn't prevalent, which I kinda liked, but the whole thing was so silly.

BUT, I did enjoy reading this book. I sped through it, reading it in about 3 hours, but visualizing what was going on did frighten me – yeah, I'm a scaredy cat. It was fun though following Kaelyn around even though I didn't understand the world and things kept contradicting themselves.... honestly, I don't know why I enjoyed this so much. If I had read this at any other time I'm sure my rating would be even lower.

Will I recommend it to people? Probably not unless they are looking for a book exactly like this. I don't think I'll read the sequel.
