I actually started listening to this a few days ago. I really liked the storyline in this book. Then again, mixing mystery and history always sucks me in. Then throw in a little touch of ghosts and I'm hooked until the end. Now on to find the next book in the series!

I can't do it. I love the idea of the book and really want to love it but I just can't. The POV change is frequent and rough to the point where it gets annoying. The main character just got on my nerves and the dialogue...people do not talk like that. The only reason that I am giving this 2 stars instead of one is Bartholomew, the only character in the book that I enjoyed

There were a lot of things about this books to like, but a lot of things that just weren't quite right. The heroine was likable and relatable, but other characters were harder to read. The dialogue was pretty clunky at times, and the "exposition fairy" was such a constant presence that it was almost a character in and of itself. And sadly, I never really got a feel for the hero's personality, and I didn't entirely buy the chemistry between the two characters.... it seemed kind of forced to me. H...

Katie is a conch. That means she was born and raised in Key West where the history is varied and spooky. Between pirates and hanging there are sure to be ghosts hanging around. There are and Katie talks to them and sees them. Bartholomew is one such ghost - a privateer from the history of Key West. One such mystery is the murder of the fiance of David Beckett, a friend of Katie's brother Sean. After the murder, all the closest to it left the area but are now back. Murders like the first 10 years...

The premise of this book was so promising, but the execution of the story didn't live up to my expectations. The main character, Katie, was incredibly irritating-even though she sees ghosts. The conversations were painful--at one point the main love interest tells Katie that she has "grown up and out in all the right places." I didn't think the ending was as predictable as other people on GR, but I'm not always very quick on figuring things out. I did like the ghost Bartholomew and learning abou...

*This is a review of the entire Bone Island Trilogy*I promised myself no more Heather Graham after last year's ultra-disappointing "Flynn Brothers" trilogy. But I caved, yet again. As always, the premise of the book sucked me in. I had no expectations and thought this might be something light to read while recovering from an illness. I was actually pleasantly surprised. "Ghost Shadow" is genuinely creepy, even if the killer is somewhat obvious. The second book in the trilogy, "Ghost Night" is th...

I just kind of happened across Ghost Shadow and to be completely honest, it's not really a genre I read or enjoy very much. It's pretty heavy on the romance, and that's not my thing at all. But that's not why I only gave it two stars.GS had a fairly interesting premise... girl lives in fabulous place that I would like to visit, girl sees/speaks to ghosts, girl gets caught up in a murder mystery, fabulous place has all kinds of fascinating history. All things I could get into, but GS simply isn't...

Ten years ago, David Beckett was under suspicion for killing his ex-fiancée when her body was discovered in one of the displays of his family's museum. David was cleared and left Key West. Now Katie O'Hara wants to buy the museum. David doesn't want the museum to re-open, so he returns to Key West to put a stop to the sale. While he's back, he also wants the cold-case of his ex-fiancée's murder re-opened since the killer was never found. And then more murders start happening.This was an extremel...

What would you a call a woman that, at 4am and all by herself, goes to the house where a dead body was found?TOO STUPID TO LIVEThis happened at the beginning of the book so I'll take it as clue of how she'll act during the rest of the story.DNF

Nice solid romance. Graham did a wonderful job of bringing Key West to life and I really enjoyed the history of the islands that preceded the story. Bartholomew the ghost was probably my favorite character. I'm planning on finishing the trilogy at some point.

Just not sure on this one. I never know how to rate a book where I liked the story but didn’t really like any of the characters. I take that back I did enjoy Sean and Bartholomew. The mystery is very intriguing and the setting is phenomenal – makes me want to visit and explore Key West. I had a hard time buying the romance between Katie/David. David is a very stiff character to the point even the narrator talked in a very formal stiff manner when voicing him. Very little emotion to help me feel

Enjoyed the mystery And suspense, it started slow for me, but quickly picked up.

Started off strong, but then everything sort of kept repeating. Talking a lot about the same few family trees, scuba-diving, Fantasy Fest, being a cop, and the Hanging Tree. Book could have been about 100 pages shorter. Kept getting the male characters mixed up because of their similar names; Danny, David, Sam, Sean, ect. Not the best ending. Wish there were more ghosts.

I really enjoy anything steeped in history and the history of the Florida Keys is colorful by anyone's stardards.mix in a main character that sees and communicates with the dead, add a couple murders, shake and voila!

This was not a bad book--just not amazing or particularly wow-inspiring.I loved the setting of Key West, and Ms. Graham portrayed the dark, mysterious and intriguing history and legends of the islands in a well-done, fascinating way.Katie was a fairly likeable character with an amazing gift of seeing and communicating with ghosts. Speaking of which, Bartholomew was a ghostly entity who provided a lot of comic relief and was quite possibly my favourite character in the book. David was an okay guy...

This was a good romantic suspense featuring main characters Katie O'Hara and David Beckett. David's family operated a museum in the Key West area until his ex-fiance's body was discovered there. Ten years forward, Katie wants to buy the museum. David returns to the area after being away all those years, and he is very against selling the museum and seeing it re-open. Upon his return, the murders begin. This was a good one with romance, suspense, and some paranormal. I enjoyed the storyline and t...

A little Spooky. A lot of adventure. A scrumptious mystery. All in all, a fantastic read.

Oh sweet Jesus, the dialogue... SO BAD! Seriously, does the author really think people speak that way? As if the rest of the plot wasn't poorly executed enough, not even the characters were compelling/logical enough to save the story. Also, repeating a characters full name doesn't need to happen every time they come up in conversation, meet up with the point of view character or a clue comes up that they're connected to. If you read this book after you read my short, pained review, then please k...
