Then the woman asks out loud if she could have his hair. Then the kamishibai panel that was used as a ending card for seasons one and two slams and the storyteller says "the end" oshimai as he did in the first two seasons. I have certainly enjoyed this series. Eventually, they come to a fork in the road; one path leads to a tunnel that doesn't appear on their map. The woman calls him cute and says she wants him.

Kara Harper has been haunted for the last year and a half by a curse. All she wants to do is break it and allow her friends and her family to have a normal and happy life. I have certainly enjoyed this series. From th This was a great ending to an amazing series. From the covers I thought of Ringu or The Grudge. I did not think of how these girls on the cover would reflect the stories within. The cover is definitely a interest grabber. The story within the pages is the keeper.
There is no lifeless story here. All the characters have soul and weight to them. I was with them the entire time. I had my favorites and not so favorites. Christopher Golden wrote the characters so wonderfully that even the bad guys you felt pity for at the end.
If you are interested in Japanese Noh theatre Japanese drama read this book. If you like a nice ghost story with old otherworldly gods and ancient monsters read this book. Jul 21, Catherine rated it it was amazing Shelves: This was a fantastic ending to an amazing trilogy. In this final installment of the trilogy the reader sees the development of Kara's and Kara's Fathers relationships as well as Kara's friendships and the ultimate destruction of the demons curse.
Again in this book the authors world building and general descriptions made me as the reader feel like I was a part of the story as well as be able to empathise with what the characters were feeling. The cover art work, authors writing style, the fact that This was a fantastic ending to an amazing trilogy. In essence the trilogy as a whole is more than well worth the five stars plan to give it when I write the trilogy review Jul 14, Mizuki marked it as to-read.
Josh has his own psychic ability to deal with bu This is the third and final book in the Laying A Ghost series.
Josh has his own psychic ability to deal with but is still a well adjusted 'normal' young man. He quickly makes friends with John's niece and the two teens are soon caught up in a local legend with frightening results. I really enjoyed this action packed story. The first two books in the series focus primarily on John and Nick's relationship but in this one it's the paranormal aspect that takes center stage.
Their relationship is solid and their love as strong as ever which will help a great deal as they deal with teenagers, angry spirits and a town full of innocent bystanders. Overall this is a well-written, fast-paced and entertaining book and while there are some hot sex scenes it's the paranormal aspect that's the focus. Since this is the third installment in the series the main characters are already well developed and complete. The supporting characters, especially Josh, were good additions to the story. At only pages long this is the shortest book in the series but I think also the most interesting.
A very good ending to a nice paranormal series. View all 3 comments. Oct 11, T. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.
Editorial Reviews. Review. PRAISE FOR THE WAKING SERIES "The story has suspense, mystery, andhorror. It will be a great hit with fans of manga, anime. A Winter of Ghosts has 33 ratings and 7 reviews. Samantha said: The waking series pulls you in and it doesn't you go till the end. I read the first book.

This is the third book. This isn't really a tale of partners and lovers taking on the paranormal. It's more of a Paranormal Cozy, with two guys wonderfully in love and partners in all ways who just happen to have to deal with ghosts now and then.
They live on a tiny, quiet Scottish isle that sees some tourists in the summer but is cold and inhospitable in the winter--but beloved by them both. John has lived there all his life and Read the books in order: John has lived there all his life and loves it, except for the fact that it wasn't gay-friendly so he was closeted, and lonely until Nick, an American, moves into the house inherited by his uncle.
Their relationship is very passionate, but more than that, it is deep and tender and loving. That is the back-bone of these books, and it is worth reading for that alone.
These are private men, and it is touching to be able to see into their lives. In this book, Nick's young half-brother, Josh, has grown up and is coming for a visit before he starts college. All goes well until old legends and ghosts are stirred up in a big way and Nick and John are forced to deal with them. As with the last book, there are some little threads that aren't neatly tied up, but then, the bits of plot aren't meant to be the focus, I think. The wonderful relationship between Nick and John are the main thing. The plot is strong enough to carry things along, though.
Definitely enough excitement goes on to keep the small island's inhabitants talking for years to come, anyway. But the fireworks are mostly between Nick and John, and it's more of a nice, comfy fire in the fireplace at home than any big showy conflagration. They are such a dear couple that I would definitely love to see more of them, even though this third book ends on a very good, strong note. View all 6 comments. The third book in the series, this takes place ten years later, with John and Nick well settled in their island community. They are accepted, if sometimes distantly, and life is going well.
Then Nick's half-brother, who is now 18, turns up for a visit. Josh has some paranormal abilities of his own, and the local ghosts turn out not to have been as completely laid to rest as Nick would have hoped. This book escalates the paranormal adventure to a more dramatic level. I liked the fact that Josh is The third book in the series, this takes place ten years later, with John and Nick well settled in their island community. Some series seem to make every interesting guy around become gay, and I find that less satisfying than a diverse community. Josh is a good character, and the adventure is fun.
One thing I felt about this book, more than the other two, was just a hint of superficiality. Josh's ability should, IMO, have had far more serious issues for him, past and present. And the crisis events through this book were dealt with from more of a plot than an emotional angle at times. But the balance of plot to sex was also better, so this was also a four-star read for me in the end. A fast-reading, fun, sometimes hot, paranormal series, with a loving main couple.
Not ground-breaking or deeply emotional for me, but it hit the spot for what I wanted to read at the time. Nick and John have lived together happily for the past ten years, and now they are preparing for a visit from Nick's younger half-brother. Nick, of course, still sees dead people, and his brother, Josh, has a paranormal talent of his own.
When Josh arrives, he and John's niece connect and find themselves asking questions about a local legend. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in , was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that has weighty consequences when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself. The New York Times bestselling author of Promise Not to Tell returns with a simmering psychological thriller about ghostly secrets, dark choices, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters.
West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The New York Times bestselling author of Promise Not to Tell returns with a simmering literary thriller about ghostly secrets, dark choices, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in , was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter, Gertie. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that suddenly proves perilous when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished without a trace.
She melds the mystery genre with the supernatural for a psychological thriller that is as scary as it is enthralling. The Winter People has a consistently eerie atmosphere, and some of its darker supernatural flights are reminiscent of Stephen King.
I told myself that, too. But I was whistling past a graveyard—or, in this case—past a Vermont landscape that is authentic and recognizable and still altogether chilling. Not a book to be read late at night, or in a creaky old house, The Winter People is a literary thriller to savor.
