Ghost Slayer has a fantastic concept and gave me plenty of chills while reading, but at the end of the day, the book ended up flopping. From the very beginning, Verstraete goes straight into the action that kept me turning the pages and invested in finding out what would happen next, but it is very much a plot-driven story with a lot of action... and not much else. The characters aren't memorable and bland - hell, I don't even remember who's who and what, and I'm writing this review mere hours after finishing the book. The world feels very undeveloped even for a first novel in a series; while there are some questions that are answered,there are plenty of more left unanswered. At the end, I ended up feeling like a more jumbled mess than before I started the book.
