Summary from Goodreads: Love is ever near. But trouble is never far.
Nantucket Island is haunted, but only sixteen-year-old Jade Irving knows it. Ignoring the disturbing spirits isn’t an option, because one dwells in the enormous historic home she shares with her newly blended family. Jade is finding it more and more difficult to explain away Lacey’s ghostly, anguished tantrums, especially with Charlie, her gorgeous, almost step-brother, living right across the hall.
When a power-hungry ghost hunter tracks down Jade and blackmails her, Jade’s secret teeters on the edge of exposure, and her entire future hangs in the balance. If anyone finds out Jade can talk to ghosts, her life will be forever changed.
Can she save herself, free Lacey, and hang on to her tenuous connection with Charlie? Or will everything she ever wanted slip through her fingers?Love is ever near. But trouble is never far.

Review: I was quickly drawn into this book, the description of Nantucket and scene setting was excellent. The book started out feeling like it was going to lean more toward romance, but later it took a pretty dark twist and became more of a paranormal book.
Jade is a pretty typical teenage girl, she is a bit whiny and makes decisions that don’t always make sense. I love Jade’s best friend. I like Charlie and felt like he was pretty consistent. The ghosts are not nice; they are angry and sad and lash out. They were an excellent touch.
The book was a quick, easy read. The romance was well done, but I found the whole step-brother thing to be a bit weird and an unnecessary plot element. The ghost hunter also felt a bit unnecessary and I really didn’t like where things went with him.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and it’s unique setting and unique take on ghosts and spirits.
