I love reading about the paranormal and supernatural, so when I saw All The Pretty Ghosts by Jamie Campbell for free, I had to grab it.
MY 56
The comment earned another laugh from Jet. The amusement flickered in his eyes, making the flecks burn gold. “That’s never going to happen. So? Do you see dead people?” He whispered the last few words.

BOOK BEGINNINGS
All these people were seriously starting to tick me off. They never shut up. It was a constant chatter that formed the soundtrack to my pointless, miserable life.
GOODREADS BLURB
One year ago the Event swept through the world and wiped out the entire adult population. Now all the children are alone and fending for themselves.
Everly Hilton can see ghosts. Bridging the gap between the living and the dead, there are so many departed adults she can barely handle her ability.
With winter approaching, Everly can’t fight the dead any longer. She has to listen to the ghosts in order to understand what caused the Event and help keep the children alive.
What she doesn’t realise is that her association with the spirits runs far closer to home than she could ever imagine.

I had never heard of this book, but the whole bridging the living and the dead can be really compelling. Hope you enjoy the book!
What a cool premise for a book!
This one does sound tempting. And what a horrible event that took away all the adults!
Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
This does sound intriguing. This week I am spotlighting a middle grade fantasy – The Storm Keeper’s Island by Catherine Doyle – from my review stack. Happy reading!
Such a good idea for a novel! And being free makes it even better! Hope you enjoy the read.
Looks like a fun one. I like the quotes. I’m highlighting quotes from Devotions
This sounds really good. I’m definitely curious about the Event. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
I like the sound of this one. Enjoy your current read!
Such a beautiful cover! And sounds really interesting too.
I instantly thought of that Bruce Willis movie, The Sixth Sense, Cool! Happy weekend!
That is definitely an interesting premise. I will be looking forward to your review!
I think I need to give this a try. 🙂

Sounds like a great one. I’ll have to add this to my list.
This sounds so good. And I’m already wanting to meet these characters. Had a few chuckles already:)
LOL I feel that way about people often. So many words all the time.
