Smashwords book reviews by Kathy Stewart

  • Mortal Ghost on Feb. 24, 2013

    I downloaded this ebook when it was offered for free and only read it recently. What a wonderful surprise! I’m not usually a fan of fantasy and science fiction but I loved this book. From the first page to the last, Mortal Ghost is elegantly written and beautifully paced. Although it’s possibly aimed at young adults, older people will still enjoy it and identify with its themes. Lowe has created interesting and multi-dimensional characters and an intriguing theme. I can’t wait to read more by this author. Thoroughly recommended.
