Not quite dead review
Wow! Great book!! I really loved the Whitman series so I was excited for this book.
Lyla writes funny and engaging books that keep you reading till the end.
******************************************************************************************************
Overview
A broken engagement sends Graciela Harper crawling back to Heron Creek with her tail between her legs, but finds the sleepy little town too changed to set her life right. Not even her budding drinking problem can obscure her Gramps’s failing health, or erase the mental picture of her first love happily married to her childhood best friend. To top it all off, she’s having a heck of time convincing the town’s dashing young mayor of her unfit-for-dating status.
When the ghost of 18th century lady pirate Anne Bonny starts insisting on a near daily audience, Graciela has to confront something else she never expected—being certifiably nuts at twenty-five years old.
Her brand new “I don’t give a crap” attitude makes it easy to dismiss the mysterious threats that seem to be tied to her search for more information on the long dead pirate, but when her family becomes a target, Gracie knows she needs to find out why the ghost insists on being a constant, reeking companion.
If Graciela can put aside her prejudice against people without a pulse, she may discover that Anne Bonny’s problems are intricately linked with her own. The past harbors answers that could help the cantankerous spirit find closure, but she is, after all, already dead. If Graciela doesn’t move fast, she might find herself doing the haunting, instead of the other way around.
*************************************************************************************************************
The story was great and I really liked this first jump out of young adult but I would still call it mature young adult.
This book will have you laughing, crying, and angry. Gracie is very funny and I really loved some of her inner monologue. She is definitely a keep it real chick.
I only have one complaint. The story to me was laid out predictably but not enough that it made the book bad or unreadable. I only felt that the clues where very telling and left you with a “why can’t you see that” feeling. I wish that she would have figured it out but obstacles to make it hard to get through would have been better or maybe made the clues not as easy to read……. Not sure but something along those lines.
There is also a “cliffhanger” I quote it because it is not a major cliff but more like you know there will be another episode and you can’t wait to read. Your not screaming WTF at the end but you are saying wow can’t wait for the next.
Overall it was a really awesome read with a dip in to paranormal. Not a lot of romance but some definite flirting. Lots of mystery. Also some drama for good measure.

1. I wasn’t sure how to do the link to my review, and after having difficulties getting it to post (but finally did), I decided to just post it here as well. 🙂
I completely fell in love with Gracie! She’s smart, independent
I completely fell in love with Gracie! She’s smart, independent, and someone I would love to be friends with. Her relationship with her grandfather reminds me of my relationship with mine. Whether he knows it or not, he always helps whatever situation I’ve gotten myself into. Going home was just what the doctor ordered.
Ghosts have always been a fascination and having that aspect intertwined into the story, plus the fact she’s a woman pirate….WIN!!
To say I loved the book is an understatement. I was enraptured the moment I began reading and am excited for the next book!
