Sophia Rhodes has a ghostly problem, two to be exact. One
night, when her boyfriend cheated on her with her friend, Sophia met her
ghostly companion, Marmaduke Dodsworth. Because of this, finding another job
has been extremely difficult. Going against the advice of Marmi, Sophia takes a
job as a receptionist for Dr. Callahan, aka “Cal,” who also has a ghostly
companion, Moonflower. All seems to be going well except for one thing;
Moonflower has a severe case of green-eyed jealousy and keeps driving Cal’s
clients away. When Mrs. Wiley, another client who’s a medium, tells Sophia that
Moonflower is a ghost as a result of some witchcraft gone awry, the trio team
up to end Moonflower’s tirades. Will they succeed?
The characters are well-developed, entertaining, and engaging.
The dynamic between them is hilarious and fun to listen about. The plot is
well-developed and, despite initial feels of a fluffy chick-lit, turns into a suspenseful,
intense story despite lack of action. The clean romance is also believable and
realistic despite the ghostly problems.
Narrator, Nan McNamara does a great job of bringing this
delightful listen to life. Her use of different voices brings the author’s
unique characters to life and makes them easily distinguishable. She easily
switches between different voices and internal dialogue and smoothly handles plot
transitions with ease. Her nice tone and pacing are well-suited for the book.
People who like chick-lit, ghosts, mysteries, and clean romance will enjoy
listening to this book.
