This was a great fifth book in the Rylan Flynn Mystery series, it had that overall feel that I enjoyed from the first four books. The concept worked well and had that world element that I was looking for. The characters were everything that I wanted and thought the paranormal mystery element worked well overall. I enjoyed the way Dawn Merriman wrote this and can't wait to read more in this series.

I love this easy read fantasy series. Rylan Flynn ghost hunter and easer of spirits. The story continues with her getting closer to a romantic relationship with Ford, maybe; sorting out her house situation, maybe. Seeing ghosts, solving crimes and getting into trouble again? Well it is Rylan that I’m talking about so definitely. Entertaining read? Also definitely. Thank you to Second Sky and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

This series has a lot of potential and so do the main female and male characters. However, the writing and the dialogue for this characters seems juvenile at times, like they are younger in words in thoughts than they are supposed to be. I just wish with some of the life experiences Rylan has had she should be more mature, not that she shouldn't have her issues, those are developed with the plot, but how she handles them most of the times, and this book started in on the male lead as well. The ending had a little abrupt, the plot has leading up tp the climax well bit everything seemed rushed in the end and needed a little more of an explanation. Rylan's family seems to be disappearing as well, and what happened to the evil force?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rylan can see and talk to ghosts.

I love how she helps ghosts to cross over to the afterlife and would have liked to have seen a little more. The majority that she saw, she postponed helping them due to being too busy.

It was an enjoyable read that I finished in two sittings and wouldn't hesitate to read more in the series.

I enjoyed the story but the main mystery was a bit too predictable. I would have liked a twist.

What a great story. I love that Rylan is able to see and speak to ghosts. Of course they can't always tell you what you need to know. Such an interesting and enjoyable series. I love the characters and the paranormal happenings. Can't wait to see what happens for them next.

I enjoyed this story, it’s lovely how the ghosts are interacted with. I do wish that Riley had let her mom & Elise go. & the ending… what a cliffhanger. #TheRiverGhost #NetGalley

This series really grows on me. I never thought I would say this about this genre, but I do and I really mean it. It goes to show it's good to step out of your comfort zone every once in a while and you might discover gems you would have missed otherwise. 

I really like the way Rylan always does her utter best to help the ghosts and the murder victims, but she does seem to forget to take care of herself. She also does not seem to realise that people who care about her, worry and she feels offended when they point this out to her.

Your loved ones do not want you to put yourself in danger and when you dismiss this when they point it out to you or maybe even become angry, you have to take in consideration you might chase them away...

I like the way the author decided to change the role of Rylan's mother and we have witnessed more than once how Rylan helps ghosts to go to the other side. This time she does something she has never done before to help a ghost. 

And then, as a special treat, there was a cliffhanger. A confusing one, I have to say and this makes me willing time to go faster so I can find out what it is all about. 5 stars

Thank you

I loved this book but man I did not like the ending. This series is so good. Great characters and twisty mystery with paranormal. But that ending…no. I’m really hoping the next book straightens some things out and gives us clarity with this thread.

this book being a part of the series, i did miss few points of the connections between the chaarcters, and few mysteries which were continued from the previous book. So it was my mistake to choose a book from middle of the series so i would rate this book as a standalone, and if i happen go read the previous book, then i would implement the series factor.
Now coming to the story, it was interesting, but a lot predictable. So it being part of a series, the mystery of this particular book seemed not that good, but the greater mystery which is been continued in the series seemed a bit intersting. A littel more mystery and twist could have been put in this book’s mystery so that the book would have been even more enjoyable.

Coming to my rating : out of 5 stars

Rylan is back! And this time she is working with Ford trying to solve the case!

When Rylan discovers a body of a young young girl underneath a bridge-popular for teenagers - she calls Ford to investigate. Sadly, the body is identified as Ford's young cousin. Desperate for answers, he asks Rylan to help him solve the mystery.

The chemistry between the two leads is adorable and exciting for the reader as is the story of the murder. Who killed this young girl?

Great read and can't wait for the next one!!!!

Kind of like Charley Davidson meets Monk! Rylan gets into another murder mystery, numerous red herrings, some daliance with Ford (finally!), and the regular cast of characters that makes this series fun as well as a good mystery. For those asking, spice is limited and FTB.
