Book Review: See Me by Susan Hatler

Simply Supernatural Book 1

Teenage artist Amy Love feels someone in the room with her, even if she can’t see them—the goosebumps and hair prickles on her neck don’t lie. The most popular boy in school finally asks her out and now a ghost is following her on the date? So unfair.

Finally unable to take it anymore, Amy confronts her invisible stalker only to have him jump into her body to communicate with her. He’s Jonathan Miller, the teenage son of a famous cartoonist, who was in a recent car crash. Jonathan has somehow lost touch with the corporeal world and needs Amy’s help.

In order to get her privacy back, Amy teams up with Jonathan to find out what went wrong for him. She’s the only one he can count on and, as they search for answers, he turns out to be the one person she can trust. Before too long, their friendship deepens and so do other feelings. But how can she be falling for a boy she’s never really seen and maybe never will?

My Review:

Yep, it’s official. Paranormal romantic comedy is my new favorite, especially when there’s an element of suspense added in. The story itself is extremely different from the last of its type I read, but the reasons I enjoyed it so much are mostly the same. Amy and Jonathan’s story kept me sputtering with laughter as they ran into situation after situation that could only happen to them. This story, while it seems quite logical, is a take on the paranormal world I don’t think I’ve seen before. And, at the end of the day (or at least the end of this book) there’s an important lesson to be learned. As people, we connect with one another at the vulnerable points. We may all want to appear like we’ve got it all together, but it’s when we let it all go that we’re able to reach one another – to see the individual behind the social mask. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
