Deadgirl: Ghostlight (The Deadgirl Saga #2)

This story is about a teenage girl Lucy Day who was killed in the prior book to this one and becomes a "phantom". She needs "essence" to keep herself from fading away. She is trying to live her life the best she can and some of her friends know about her situation. One of them Daphne, has abilities of her own. She is a "Ker" and can sense when someone is going to die. Daphne and Lucy go about trying to save people. But they don't realize that this will possibly kill them as well.

I got this book free for an honest review from the publisher. As it was the second book in the series. I went and read the first one before I read this one and I am really glad I did. The book can stand alone but it is so much richer for getting the world building from the first one.

I will read more of this series as it becomes available.

Back in 2012 I joined Goodreads at the recommendation of a PA of an author I liked. I'd emailed her to inquire about how to get ARC's and her PA responded and suggested Goodreads. As a new member I had ZERO luck winning any of the giveaways and was quite frustrated because all the books I put in to win sounded so good. I decided to (be obscenely forward) start messaging the authors of said books in an attempt to get copies of books in exchange for my absolute pinky swear promise to leave a review. I hoped for a few books from the dozens of emails I sent and was overwhelmed when almost everyone said yes! Some sent print copies and were awesome enough to personalize them to me. Others sent ebooks. I was in heaven! One book that I received was from an author I'd never heard of before, but whose story sounded really good. It was a book called Deadgirl. I flew through the story and loved it! I also had no idea it had the potential to be a series. I saw Ghostlight on Netgalley and had a fan girl moment, and requested the book. I wasn't sure I'd get approved since many publishers only approve bloggers with a fierce following, but lo and behold, I was approved. I'd forgotten quite a bit of the original story, but it slowly came back to me as I began reading. While Deadgirl was awesome....Ghostlight is amazing! Reading about Lucy's continued struggle, seeing her mourn her relationship with Zack and find a new love interest, seeing new enemies (and some old ones as well) and the twist at the end with the good Dr....and HER PARENTS!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see what else B.C. Johnson has in store for Lucy and company!
