Not Quite Dead (A Lowcountry Ghost Story)



A broken engagement sends Graciela Harper crawling back to Heron Creek with her tail between her legs, but finds the sleepy little town too changed to set her life right. Not even her budding drinking problem can obscure her Gramps’s failing health, or erase the mental picture of her first love happily married to her childhood best friend. To top it all off, she’s having a heck of time convincing the town’s dashing young mayor of her unfit-for-dating status.

When the ghost of 18th century lady pirate Anne Bonny starts insisting on a near daily audience, Graciela has to confront something else she never expected—being certifiably nuts at twenty-five years old.

Her brand new "I don't give a crap" attitude makes it easy to dismiss the mysterious threats that seem to be tied to her search for more information on the long dead pirate, but when her family becomes a target, Gracie knows she needs to find out why the ghost insists on being a constant, reeking companion. 

If Graciela can put aside her prejudice against people without a pulse, she may discover that Anne Bonny’s problems are intricately linked with her own. The past harbors answers could help the cantankerous spirit find closure, but she is, after all, already dead. If Graciela doesn’t move fast, she might find herself doing the haunting, instead of the other way around.





~~I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review~~
Who likes Pirates? Who likes ghosts? Who likes treasure hunts? You do!!!! You know you do!!!!! This book has pirates, ghosts, and a treasure hunt!!! This book has it all. I couldn't put it down. I started it and the book begged me to finish it before I went to sleep that night. I am so glad I did. This is a great story. It has intrigue and a cliffhanger in it.

She gets a job at the library with a lady that is mean and nasty. Always tellin Gracie to stay out of the archives. There is also a ghost that has been following Gracie around. She is scaring Gracie into thinking that she is nuts.
