I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Paranormal is not a genre I typically read but with that being said, I did enjoy this.

When I first started reading this I was reminded of the hitchhiking ghosts from the Haunted Mansion because the ghosts follow Michael home. So already this book was off to a good start.

I loved the mystery surrounding Gavin and Kate and their circumstances. I kept wondering, Who is this ghost haunting them? There was definitely a lot of intrigue there.

Luke Rainer was such an interesting character. At first I didn’t like him because he seemed so conceited but then he grew on me as the story went on.

I didn’t find anything particularly special about the romance, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. For the most part it felt very average, but this is just the first book in the series so it has time to develop further.

I didn’t know if I liked the ending, until the very end when I read the last page. The last page sealed the deal for me. The author ended the book at a very good place. It definitely makes me curious about what will happen next.

As I said before, I don’t typically read paranormal books, but I really liked this one because it wasn’t super paranormal. I have a limit when it comes to the amount of paranormal activity I can tolerate in a book and this had the perfect amount.

Overall, this was a solid paranormal novel with equal amounts of romance and mystery. The twists and turns will keep you reading until the very end. ( )

Cemetery Tours is a wonderful YA book! Kate and Gavin are YA siblings who move into a new apartment building together in order to escape what they believed was a haunted apartment. Little do they know, the apartment they are moving into also feels "off". Her brother can sense it. Michael, a neighbor has a best friend "Brink" but no one can see Brink except for Michael. That's because Michael can see the dead. Michael avoids making eye contact with them normally, other than communicating with Brink. He isn't interested in relaying messages for the dead. He isn't interested in helping them cross over or finish business on earth. He just wants to move on with life.

After meeting Kate and Gavin, a friendship forms and Michael and Kate start developing feelings for each other. The ghost of a person haunting Kate and Gavin's apartment becomes a connection to Kate's past and the future of all those involved. What happened to Kate? Why doesn't she remember? Did someone keep something from her?

Jacqeline Smith does a fantastic job making it seem like a paranormal "gift" is realistic and that the events of the characters lives can happen to anyone. She has a wonderful way of bringing characters "to life" and making the reader want to read fast and furious. We loved this book and think that YA lovers will too. We look forward to reading the second Cemetery Tours Book. Please check out our blog review on www.twogirlsandabookobsession.com ( )
