1: the dead room
I usually love Heather Graham's books but I didn't really like this one. The story was okay but not up to her usual standards. The romance in her novels is usually the best part in her novels but not when it is with a ghost. The characters were likable enough and the mystery was pretty good and you never knew who the villian was until the last few pages of the book. Leslie was a likable heroine and Joe was a good hero but the main hero was the ghost of Matt. I simply didn't like the way it ended and I think that most readers won't like it either.Heather Graham is one of my favorite authors but I hope that she doesn't write anymore of these books that doesn't have what I consider a happy ending but that is just my opinion.

2: Mixed feelings, but good ending
I have sort of mixed feelings about this book. It started out shaky for me -- the first time Leslie sat in a room and had a conversation with a ghost, I couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes -- but eventually it grew on me. Since I have no problem reading books with vampires and werewolves and witches, it's a little strange to me that I would have that reaction about ghosts, but I think it's because those other types of characters can interact with everyone, and not just select people. Regardless, I did find myself pulled into this story and wondering just who was trying to kill Leslie, what happened to Genevieve and the other girls, and who was the real target, Matt or Leslie? I liked Joe a lot, even if his morals were a little over the top. Most of all, I have to give Graham some props for a completely unexpected and unconventional ending -- I wouldn't have expected it in a million years. That's nice.

3: Loved it from start to finish
The book opens with a shocker of a scene and ends with one too. I ate this book up and then re-read it a few months later because it was really good. A great mystery with a true love theme kind of flowing through it. You have to believe or be open to the idea of ghosts or you won't want to read this. Also helps if you are an archaeology geek (not that you have to be super smart...just interested in the subject)

4: A Horrible Waste of Time!
I am a big fan of Heather Graham novels, but this was horrible. It took me almost an entire week to force myself to finish this book. I couldn't help laughing at the ghostly sex scenes even as I was completely disturbed by them. I kept imagining someone walking in on that and being stupefied by a girl seemingly having sex with the thin air. Thankfully, Leslie and Joe never had sex because I would have had to burn the book and then shower for a couple of days, so that maybe I wouldn't be completely disgusted with myself anymore. I am not going to buy the sequel, but I will try to read it. I have to go to the library tomorrow anyway, so I might as well borrow The Death Dealer, and hope that I won't be freaked out by it too.

5: Full of Suspense
I recently "discovered" Graham as an author this year and I love her books and stories. This one does not disappoint!
