The synopsis: After being sent back from the light, Alona Dare–former homecoming queen, current Queen of the Dead–finds herself doing something she never expected: working. Instead of spending days perfecting her tan by the pool (her typical summer routine when she was, you know, alive), Alona must now cater to the needs of other lost spirits. By her side for all of this, ugh, “helping of others” is Will Killian: social outcast, seer of the dead, and someone Alona cares about more than she’d like.
Before Alona can make a final ruling on Will’s “friend” or “more” status, though, she discovers trouble at home. Her mom is tossing out Alona’s most valuable possessions, and her dad is expecting a new daughter with his wicked wife. Is it possible her family is already moving on? Hello?! She’s only been dead for two months! Thankfully, Alona knows just the guy who can put a stop to this mess.
Unfortunately for Alona, Will has other stuff on his mind, and Mina, a young (and beautiful) seer, is at the top of the list. She’s the first ghost-talker Will’s ever met—aside from his father—and she may hold answers to Will’s troubled past. But can she be trusted? Alona immediately signs her name in the “clearly not” column. But Will is, ahem, willing to find out, even if it means leaving a hurt and angry Alona to her own devices, which is never a good idea.
My thoughts: How cute are these covers?! So now the chemistry has heated up and now there's a ghostly romance simmering between Alona and Will. If only Will could have calmed her high maintenance routine when she was alive *sigh*. But we've gotten to see now a much fleshier picture of each of the two characters, and honestly I'm a little in love with both of them. Do NOT like this Mina girl at all though. The cliffhanger is a doozy and leaves me eagerly awaiting the conclusion of The Ghost and the Goth (even though I wish the publishers would jump on this and make it a full fledged series).

Oohhh love that the chemistry heats up in this second book! And I agree on these covers, they are too cute. I think I'll wait until the next book is out to start this series, that way I won't get an ulcer dealing with a cliffhanger:) Thanks Ashley!
Good call, I read the first two in a couple (ok, a few hours) and waiting on the finale is annoying!
