I always like to read a Christmas book during the season. I'll read Dickens, and then something else, and this was the something else. While obviously not as well written as Dickens, it also is a ghost story, and if there is anything I like more than a Christmas story it's a Christmas story with ghosts. Livvy is not a particularly nice ghost, and definitely would be in the poltergeist category. In life she was a great advocate for her son who has Aspergers but not always the best mum. She was a rotten wife, and not really a very nice person at all. Death didn't change much, she's still a nasty, jealous, bad tempered, impatient jerk, but she's been given a chance to put things right, with the help of her spirit guide that just happens to take the form of stray black cat. Livvy finds Malachi's (the cat) direction a little too safe and conservative and chooses to not listen and go with another guide with a much more unorthodox approach, known to have inconsistent results. This is kind of an anti-romantic story, which I rather liked.

Releasing at Bookcrossing Meetup. Meet us there and take a book.

Picked up at the Meetup! Saving for my vacation ;-)

Very unorthodox! Not sure I did like it. :-)

Releasing on my travels today! Happy Christmas.
