Seeing Ghosts edition by James Garcia Jr Maria Zannini Natalie Owens Paranormal Romance eBooks

I loved the double plots! This story of love, obsession, and spooks is well presented by Mr. James Garcia Jr. The love story was nice. The silly banter between Paul Hernandez and Anne Bircher was well placed in the story. I am not sure, but maybe Mr. Garcia intended to show what healthy joyous love looks like. Paul and Anne's love was healthy. On the contrary, the obsessive love Aunt Flora had for her deceased husband was dark. Aunt Flora's inability to let her dead husband rest in peace made the whole cemetery population restless. That was definitely not a good thing for the neighborhood. However, Paul benefited from the dark, morbid events fomented by Flora's antics. I think it helped him to move on to love someone who was alive rather than obsessing over his dead wife. I must admit, the windy ghosts scenes were definitely what kept me reading. When the wind started blowing and the spirits started floating about, I could not put this story down. Stories that do that deserve five stars. Great Job, James Garica Jr.

Seeing Ghosts edition by James Garcia Jr Maria Zannini Natalie Owens Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews

I have waited 4 years since buying this novel to read it. It has been a worthwhile wait now that I have finished it. This is my first introduction to Garcia’s writing and I am impressed. I can now look forward to reading his Dance On Fire trilogy.

I loved this novel. It kept me captivated and involved. The pace is consistent with no peaks or troughs to alter the pace. Compared to some horror novels I have read, I would regard Garcia’s attempt as a medium to low level of horror, but this is not a negative for me. There is enough creepiness to spike a mystery and suspense response that gets the adrenaline flowing. I would say this novel is more character than a plot-driven novel which I feel is a good choice by Garcia as having the horror perceived through the main character gives the reader the best chance to experience it as well. Once a reader has been endeared to a character, they are on the character’s side and empathise with them from what they experience. So, when a character becomes scared, freaked out, or whatever, then the reader is likely to experience similar. This is a good way to create the elements of fear, horror, suspense and mystery. Garcia has created this well from this method.

I loved the personal background to Paul. I felt there was a good balance of his feelings towards dealing with the loss of his wife and unborn son three years earlier with the events of the haunted house and circumstances involving Aunt Flora and her supernatural quest. Having lost one unborn child and one newborn, I can relate to Paul’s feelings of loss and how this is magnified with the loss of his wife simultaneously. I became emotional at the relationship he developed with Paul Jr and the tenderness he shows towards this child and I imagined the same towards my own unborn son and daughter, who lived only a few days all those years ago. It is a sign of a talented writer when they can identify the feelings and experiences of others and portray them realistically in their storylines.

I am not one for romance when it is the main plot theme or genre, but I love romance when it is a subplot and written by male authors. Garcia has met those two criteria for me. I loved the relationship between Anne and Paul. I loved her patience and acceptance of his ongoing grief but need to let go and come to terms with his loss without dismissing it. It was encouraging to see a positive relationship develop between Jason and Paul. I wonder if this depiction is a reflection of the author’s own relationship between himself and his sons? Authors are encouraged to write from their knowledge/life experience database (translated as “write what you know”), so this could be the case. Either way, it is a real positive here.

I did wonder why Garcia portrayed Anne to be the near exact likeness of Paul’s deceased wife, Angie, but it is only towards the last quarter of the novel that I realised why. It was very effective in joining the plot arcs together for this! Until this happened, I kept thinking, having this likeness serves no purpose at all. But a clever author always ties up loose ends either towards the end of the novel or at its end. If left undone, then there had better be a sequel to deal with this! Thankfully this is not needed here.

I loved the horror elements of this novel. However, I would have liked to have had more explanation or depiction of the satanic practices that Patricia and Flora used. Garcia seems to have skirted around this issue. All we see if that these two dappled in the occult to achieve their quest but there was no explanation as to how they did this to achieve their aims and how this released all those “ghosts” that seemed to have no purpose in the novel other than to be misplaced entities whose only role seemed to be to add a scary element to the satanic/occultic quest of Flora and Patricia and freak out Paul, Anne and Jason. Now I am not certain for sure what Garcia’s beliefs are towards God and the Bible but there is reference to such, and Heaven, but I felt the supernatural elements would have been enhanced if these references were more detailed or shown what they are based on. I did like the reference to what Paul Jr states in the Epilogue to Anne and Paul relating to Who gave him permission to deal with Flora and the message to Anne, Paul and Jason. That was a great finishing touch to this story.

For me, reading this novel before any of Garcia’s other works has given me a great introduction to the talent and creativity of this author and I am now a fan.

Strongly Recommended. 4/5 Stars
While it is an interesting premise, and I did finish the novel, it didn't really appeal to me. I wish the author well with the rest of his works.
The author transported me and I felt like I was living through it. A real page turner and easy read.....loved it!!
I really enjoyed reading "Seeing Ghost". I felt completely drawn in and captivated by each one of the characters. I did not want the story to end. You will not be disappointed by reading this book. I look forward to reading more by James Garcia.. I loved it!!!!
I read this book last month but it's just been released. This story revolves around Paul Herrera, who is still mourning the death of his wife and unborn son three years previously. He lives, but that is about it. Then he and his brother inherit a farmhouse from an Aunt they never knew they had. It seems too good to be true, but they decide to leave town and take a look at their new property. Then Paul decide to stay at the house and since his brother has to get back to work they say their goodbyes and Paul settle in for the night went strange things start to happen, at first I found myself laughing at the way things were happening then it because a little scary.... I loved the story, it was interesting and I highly recommend this book.
