Ebenezer Scrooge: Ghost Hunter

Hi! This is the first post at my new blog (I hope it works).

The first book I want to review is Ebenezer Scrooge: Ghost Hunter, by Jaqueline Kyle.

I gave this book 5 stars on goodreads .com. I had entered a giveaway for the book when I found it in the firstreads giveaway. When Ms. Kyle acknowledged my entry, I told her how much a fan I am of any story based on A Christmas Carol. She offered me a pdf copy of the book since it is not yet available in print.

I had the honor of posting the first review of this work. I don't want to repeat word for word the review I posted at goodreads, you can read it there.

But I want to say here; This book is great! Ms. Kyle did such a seamless job of blending her words with Mr. Dickens that I couldn't tell where he left off and she began. She wove new storylines for the characters while remaining true to the original story. For me she made Scrooge a more sympathetic character. She included many of the details which appear in the different film versions of the story.

I read this book start to finish in one day, with only a break for dinner, it is that good. I found the interaction between Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Past to be exceptionally exciting, it really grabbed me.

Ebenezer Scrooge: Ghost Hunter is expected to be available September 1, 2015., from PYP Publishing Group.

So, I know the book is not available yet, but watch for it, it will be worth your time.
