Summary

Ford Atticus Ford, former lead ghost hunter on the hit paranormal reality show Graveyard: Classified, has more than a few regrets - especially after young Chelsea Hopper was attacked by a demon . . . on live television.

Assisting police departments by conducting paranormal investigations and uncovering buried clues now provides him with an ounce of redemption, but it will never be enough.

What occurred on that long-ago Halloween night was unforgivable, and Ford, chasing ratings and stardom, let it happen.

With Graveyard cancelled and his reputation destroyed, Ford sets out to avenge little Chelsea, and save his own soul - if he can.

The complexity

Still not sure what I just listened to. I found it hard to listen to the the narrator and the storyline made it hard for me to concentrate. The narrator was good but I felt that too much of the story kept going through different scenarios instead of focusing on the main subject

Good mixture of humour and scary.

Not my usual genre but really enjoyed this. I will get the second book . Loved the idea of the different levels of spirit.

The character building and atmosphere

The story did something kids of stories fail to do, making you like an imperfect character and introduces you to a world where you can enter with ease. Action parts could be a better though

Enjoyable

Enjoyable listen with some funny moments. Not frightening or thoroughly gripping enough to get me to use a credit on the follow on books, though!

Ok to pass the time

Narrator fine, story ok, didn't realise it wasn't a complete book, not sure if I want to listen to more, not exciting enough, but its an ok listen for sure.

Ghost hunting and humour

Not my usual choice of genre or story but as it was a freebie I decided to give it a listen. An enjoyable story and great narration, already downloading the next book.
