The Ghosts of Beatrice Bird
by Louisa Morgan
Ahoy there mateys! Unpopular opinion time! This is a standalone book about Beatrice Bird who has second sight. It was the ghost angle that I was interested in the most. I really loved the beginning of the book and learning about Beatrice's childhood and life in San Francisco. When Beatrice's gift becomes too overwhelming, she moves to a small island to avoid others in an attempt to keep her sanity. When Anne, a traumatized woman shows up on the island, I found the book less compelling. Anne is a battered woman and while I could sympathize with her position, I didn't particularly like her storyline or the easily guessable mystery about her husband. I did love the nuns on the island. This was a pleasant read but ultimately the ghosts didn't make a ton of sense in how they worked. I do think the majority of readers would love this book though, even if it was just okay for me. Arrrr!
