The Girl Who Saved Ghosts by K C Tansley is Book II of The Unbelievables, a paranormal time travel series that had me picking up the second book as soon as I finished the first. These beauties look right at home on my bookshelf. How about yours?
MY REVIEW
The Girl Who Saved Ghosts by K C Tansley is Book II of The Unbelievables, so this will be a short but ‘you will want to read this book’ review.
She had put a target on her back from the Dark One, after solving the Radcliffe mystery. Back at school, and the ghosts are relentless, wanting her help.
Kat is headstrong, protective, sometimes reckless. She puts her life on the line. She is the peacemaker between the four families, the Radcliffes the Kingsleys, the Mallorys and her own family, the Langleys. She had only known her mother, so when she was given the chance to meet the rest of the family, she jumped on it and it’s off to Dumbarton.
The ring had chosen her. She could not ignore it, or turn her back on her legacy.
“Forget fate Kat. We make our own destiny.”
It is wonderful to have a best friend like Morgan, steadfast and open to the unknown.
The danger is mounting and time is short.She must travel to the past again and change what has already been written.
I love the combination of genres, the mix of the four young ones who will change their history. To me, the stories hint of Charmed, Supernatural, The Ghost Whisperer…Now, there is only one amulet left to find, so I guess that means another adventure. I’m all in.

GOODREADS BLURB
She tried to ignore them. Now she might risk everything to save them.
After a summer spent in a haunted castle—a summer in which she traveled through time to solve a murder mystery—Kat is looking forward to a totally normal senior year at McTernan Academy. Then the ghost of a little girl appears and begs Kat for help, and more unquiet apparitions follow. All of them are terrified by the Dark One, and it soon becomes clear that that this evil force wants Kat dead.
Searching for help, Kat leaves school for the ancestral home she’s only just discovered. Her friend Evan, whose family is joined to her own by an arcane history, accompanies her. With the assistance of her eccentric great aunts and a loyal family ghost, Kat soon learns that she and Evan can only fix the present by traveling into the past.
As Kat and Evan make their way through nineteenth-century Vienna, the Dark One stalks them, and Kat must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to save a ghost.

MY K C TANSLEY REVIEWS
Thanks for reading both my books and writing such terrific reviews. I must confess Charmed and Ghost Whisperer were two of my favorite shows and definitely influenced my writing. 🙂
I love the shows too and am still able to catch reruns of both of them. I love when I can visualize the action while reading.
I gobble them up on Netflix and Prime. That’s fantastic–I do my best to capture what I see in my head on the page.
Another great cover with vivid colours! Interesting sounding plot but will need more research before deciding if it is for me.
Thanks. I like to do research before purchasing to make sure a book’s a good fit for me too!
That’s cool Chuckles. Hope it hits your curiosity bone. lol
