I'm very glad that my 50th book for 2012 is A Certain Slant of Light. And, to be honest, I'm surprised that I liked it as much as I did. I generally am not a romance person when it comes to YA and when I realized that this novel was heading, unflinchingly, in that direction, I braced myself and pr...
Helen has been dead -- or "light" -- for over a hundred years; unseen and unheard, the closest thing to company she has are the human hosts she attaches herself to. Then one day, the impossible happens: someone sees her. James, a former World War II soldier who was also light, has discovered that he...
This book is beautifully written and I loved reading the first third. Once the plot thickened near the middle I couldn't continue though. Let me be clear - the insta-attraction and sex itself didn't bother me. I totally understood the need for physical contact after existing on a purely spiritual ...
Hey, I remember reading this and was fascinated by Whitcomb's prose. One of the few books I read before discovering Goodreads (review first posted there first).

This is a book I've had sitting on my shelf for over a year, I'd heard plenty of good things about it but still remained sceptical* about the whole ghosts + romance thing. Eh, really? Ghosts are somewhere down near zombies on the sexiness scale, could I really become invested in such a relationship?...
3.5 stars. I really loved the ending. It was excellent. However, parts of this book dragged and had a weird quality to it. The ending made it all worth it.
This review was first posted on Music, Books and TeaThere is one word that springs to mind when I think about this book, and that word is 'beautiful'. That really is the best way for me to describe this book. I had been waiting to read this book for several months, so when I saw a copy at my local l...
