Ghost Touch Touched by Afterlife Book 1 edition by LA Dragoni Paranormal Romance eBooks

LA Dragoni's GHOST TOUCH got me out of my paranormal romance funk in which I felt like I was reading the same book over and over again. The ghost part with the portal opening in Tamara's barn was vividly described and equal parts cool and terrifying, but it was really Tamara's poignant emotional journey that spoke to me. She starts the book in mourning for her mother and ends it in love (no spoilers here as to whom she falls in love with!), and the transformation was done in such a touching, believable way. A very sweet paranormal romance!

Ghost Touch by L.A. Dragoni

There is a lot going on in this story! It is mysterious, and charming. There is suspense and edges of romance, but the story is more tender than actually romantic in my opinion. Tamara is a technical writer who lives on a small ranch, left to her by her mother who recently passed.
While still grieving, she began to have nightmares and experience some bizarre things on the ranch, such as a large spirit portal opening in her barn sending Cal, a cowboy ghost, and a host of other spirits soaring around Tamara's yard. Her coworker, Dex, who is interested in Tamara but jealous of the time Cal spends with Tamara, offers to helps. Cal, wants to help the other spirits but fears hurting Tamara. It seems her touch can be restorative-- It is meant to help the ghosts cross over but not all ghosts know how or intend to do so. With The help of Cal, Dex, can Tamara close the portal and cross the spirits over?
I enjoyed this book. I really didn't know what I was getting into even after reading the blurb that caught my attention! There is so much happening and it is very hard to explain without revealing a bit too much in one way or another! I will happily read more books that follow as this as I liked the author's style. The ending, was surprising and packaged neatly into a happy ever after! It was a light read and even though it involved ghosts and gruesome topics and manners of death at times, the book it self was not depressing or heavy. It was also considered a clean read. All opinions are my own, and I express them freely.

My Review

Ok. This book. This apparently is not the original cover, and if I had based it off the original, I probably never would have requested it.

Yes, one of the main character’s is a ghost, but I didn’t know he was a freakin skeleton! Not as romantic if you ask me, and I can see why someone said, “Maybe we should do a cover change?” Yep, good idea…because if I saw THAT on my bookshelf I would probably delete the file for fear of nightmares.

Above we have the pretty hands reaching towards each other with a misty background, and it’s a beautiful idea that one would love a ghost.

Yes, a beautiful “idea.”

Tamara is a technical writer who recently lost her mom. At 19, she runs her family’s farm all by herself…and she has recently been plagued by nightmares. Nightmares involving disfigured ghouls trying to chase her and grab her. When she goes out to the barn one night to investigate a noise, she comes to find that her nightmares have come to life there is a real-life portal in her barn and ghosts of all kinds are spilling out into her backyard.

As she’s freaking out (as I imagine anyone would when seeing a pool of ghosts in your yard), a skeletal man wearing a cowboy hat introduces himself as Cal. Unsure of his past and reason for not crossing like the other ghosts, he has been around this Ghost group for awhile. They have 15 minutes a night to essentially come out of the vortex and, I don’t know, “stretch their legs,” and Tamara doesn’t understand why her barn, why she personally, has been picked as a local “haunt” for the ghosts. (Get it? Haunt?)

But Cal knows why Tamara has the Ghost Touch she can see and communicate with them, in hopes of helping them cross to the other side. But Tamara doesn’t know how to do that, and either does Cal. But as they spend more time together, Tamara is drawn to Cal and his kind and gentle disposition (yes, she seriously starts to fall in love with a skeleton! I know!!)

When Dex, the dressed-down hunky coworker, finds out about Tamara’s ghost infestation, he pulls a ghostbusters and decides he wants to help. They together must find a want to help Cal and the others to cross, or they’ll be stuck like this forever. The only problem? Maybe Tamara isn’t so eager to let Cal go…

Ummm. Ok.

What did I just read? This was a YA/NA paranormal romance, and though the story is written well (no typos really and very clear writing), and though I actually cried at the end (what can I say? I’m a sucker for a love story), this was a strange read.

We never really know why or how the vortex is there. We never know why there’s a time limit. We do learn some other “Ghost facts according to Dragoni,” and a lot of other spiritual stuff is discussed in the book…but it’s too short and too obvious how the book will end, and that’s not what I was looking for. I wanted some cute ghost love story like my fantasy books (since I love them) to read and gush over. I only read paranormal bc it’s usually extremely similar to fantasy. It was a cute little story with some feels from Tamara, but we never really get attached to either of the men in her life, who fight over Tamara like a side of meat.

I didn’t dislike it, but I didn’t love it either. Once again it was a meh story with a nice fluffy theme and some sad stuff at the end. Which as you know is not normally my cup o tea. I probably would have ended it much differently, and maybe that’s why i wasn’t thrilled with it. Who knows?

So all in all, for being 140 pages, I give Ghost Touch ★★★☆☆. Meh.
Can't wait for the next chapter! Truly enjoyed this book. I hope the next book is in the works and ready for publishing soon.
Good read. Opens your mind to new ideas.
Ghost Touch is a gripping story about a large group of ghosts visiting a young woman's farm and her relationship with a few individuals. The story has some great twists and the characterization of the living and non-living characters are very well written. I highly recommend this story for anyone looking for a great romance/ghost story/mystery.
