Jillian Nejat is the only dating and relationship expert on the planet who is incapable of speaking to men. If they’re living, if they’re breathing, it’s game over.
With her bank account at zero, her career a dumpster fire, and her dating life in a ten-year slump, she moves into a tiny, dirt-cheap NYC apartment.
Unfortunately, the apartment is already occupied.
Daniel (no-last-name) is a sexy, shirtless, six-pack wielding heartthrob who is also…dead.
He isn’t living. He isn’t breathing. He’s a ghost. He’s also the only man on the planet who Jillian can talk to.
Soon, Daniel’s convinced that it’s his afterlife mission to resurrect Jillian’s love life. He knows, if he helps her fall in love then he can move on. Jillian agrees. The last thing she needs is a Lothario ghost haunting her living room.
But then, one practice date leads to another, one confession leads to more, and suddenly Jillian fears she’s falling for the one man she can never have.
Ghosted is the first book in the series with the fourth being published in October 2024. Being a paranormal romance and book one featuring a ghost it's the perfect quirky book series to kick off the autumn season and the runup to Halloween.
The story centres around Jillian who writes a terrible dating advice column She's a complete disaster around men in her real life and she's a Trekkie who speaks Klingon.
After moving into a new apartment she finds an unwanted extra tenant in the form of Daniel, a ghost. But, luckily for her, Daniel can see past her weird obsession with Star Trek and vows to help her with her love life and her job in the belief that it will help him to move on.
The interactions between Jillian and Daniel are hilarious from the get-go. Daniel doesn't remember much about himself except for a few snippets of his last memories. But, his personality shines through and he is so adorable in his reactions to Jillian's various dates. Jillian finds herself opening up to him and we learn the sad reason why she finds it so hard to talk to men. It is moments like this that the story hits you in the feels only to be laughing out loud at something Daniel says or does soon afterwards. They made great friends and I could foresee how adorable they would be as a couple but I couldn't help but wonder how they would resolve the issue of Daniel being a ghost.
There's hope for a happy ever when help from a psychic, a scientist friend, and Jillian's eccentric work colleagues spur Jillian on in a race against time to save Daniel.
This was such a cute and riveting story that I couldn't put it down. It is charmingly romantic, funny and addictive. It touches upon themes of loss and grief but it does so in such a relatable way and with a heartwarming effect.
A fun and uplifting story.
I listened to the audiobook as I really want to catch up on the series before the fourth book is published in October.
I wholeheartedly recommend the audiobook. Excellently narrated and an engaging listen. The second epilogue with the lovely male narrator made me want to listen to the book all over again.
