About the Book

A hungry ghost escapes from a dark realm into the human world, where it enters the unconscious body of a woman named Sam. When Sam appears to miraculously awaken from her accident-induced coma, her lesbian lover, alcoholic ex-husband, and well-meaning family must come together to try and stop the ghost from devouring everything Sam once loved. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Boston, a mysterious new kitten has just been born who holds the key to understanding what has happened to Sam. Will Sam’s loved ones be able to put things back in their proper place, or will the ghost destroy them first?

Review

How can I begin to explain the confusion and the provocative nature in this book. I have experienced so much in this book, I should just start with the goods things about the book first.

I really enjoyed how fast the story went, but it also was at a steady pace. Their was no lap in time or confusion about where someone was because she showed her audience.

I like the fact that was reinforced, that everyone deserves a second chance....even peter.

The one think I couldn't comprehend is.......what happened at the end????? When you bring a character into a story, shouldn't they be given a happy ending too. Or at least closure. I am just very confused right now.

Over all, I did enjoy the story. It was very different, than some of the other books I have reviewed.
