Leya is a new-to-me writer and maybe just isn't for me. I really liked the premise but the execution was lacking.
This book is like 85% dialogue and it all reads as stilted and unnatural. The two characters are pretty awkward together and they both are very talkative, which I find annoying. I prefer a much better balance between dialogue and exposition.
I didn't see any chemistry between Angus or Lance which would have been fine if this book was more explicit, like they both just really needed to get laid and were convenient for each other, but this is such a slow burn that there's barely any heat at all (they don't kiss until the last chapter despite dancing around each other from the first page).
The ghost characters, besides the murder victims and maybe Angus' mom's friend Betty, were entirely pointless. Like why put so much time into Ray and Cher's characters when they don't do anything to forward the story. So she taught Lance how to cook a few meals that he could feed to Angus. And Ray just hangs out on the back patio and burns through Lance's Kindle's battery life. Why? Who cares?
There was also a really strong Christian undercurrent that isn't for me, with lots of discussions of Heaven and God and how they're absolutely real. I don't mind characters that have faith but when it's written as a fact like this with no ambiguity, it feels preachy.
The author also doesn't fully understand police procedure. Angus would have no chance convicting Josh and his partner wouldn't have just accepted all these ghost-given clues as Angus' "hunch". You need stronger evidence along with a (barely) confession to get multiple murder charges.

It was good enough to complete, mostly for interest in the premise, but I don't see going through with the series or any other books from this author.
