It started as a con.
Eve was a runaway with a past she can barely remember. When she meets Bain and Bridgette they give
her a chance she never dreamed of. She
looks like Aurora, their cousin that disappeared three years ago, the very
night her best friend Liza committed suicide.
She can come back as Aurora and collect a lot of money, but there’s
always a price to pay. Liza’s ghost
appears and tells her she was murdered.
Is this ghost a benevolent protector, a vengeful spirit, or something
even more dangerous? And whatever really
happened to missing Aurora, and will Eve be able to avoid the same fate?
This is a fun, twisty mystery that has a lot of
suspense and memorable characters. This
is Jaffe’s follow up to the similar Rosebush
(I reviewed it here), and I must say that this one doesn’t feel as
memorable. The twists in both books are
somewhat similar and rely on villains with BECAUSE I’M CRAZY motivations. On
the bright side, this is a REALLY GOOD but not great story with loads of suspense
and an interesting premise. I liked
following Eve and seeing how she would pull off her deceits AND handle all the
ghostly shenanigans of Liza. I also
liked how freaked out Eve was of Liza.
Far too often, characters rebound way too quickly to such a huge
revelation. So if you like mysteries and
suspense, then Ghost Flower is one of the better recent entries. It has a nice slow build of suspense and a believable
and relatable main character. Hopefully
the sort of way over the top ending doesn’t spoil it too much for
you.
