Wraith Ladies Who Lunch by Sean Patrick Traver
4.0

Rating: 4/5

Genre: Paranormal

Recommended Age: 14+ (some strong language, some mature topics but just briefly mentioned)

I received a free copy of this arc in exchange for my honest review and promotion. All opinions are my own. Thanks Black Chateau and Sean Patrick Traver!

Christabel is a Victorian phantom with a tragic past, attached to a piece of antique mourning jewelry.

Ta-senet-net-hor (her name means 'Sister of Neith and Horus') is a three-thousand-year-old Egyptian, attached to a mummy on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Neither of them knows another ghost who's anything more than an emotional echo, nor do they understand why they linger on when others fade away. They meet up at a restaurant near the museum now and then, to speculate about the nature of their afterlife and pretend to have a few drinks.

Until the day Derren Gray arrives in their midst. The brand-new ghost of an elderly architect provides them with answers they've sought for centuries, but the things they learn mean the afterlife won't ever be the same, not for any of them.

Join the WRAITH LADIES WHO LUNCH as they address eternal questions both large and small with surreal humor, historical depth, and a hint of mystical intrigue. – Amazon.com

Do you ever feel that you’re being watched at a museum? Well, you might just be! In this book we are introduced to three ghosts who are able to roam the Earth long after their death due to their attachment to this world. I thought the story was very unique. I thought it would be more like Night at the Museum, but I was very surprised by how unique it actually was. I thought the character development was very well done and the book was very well written.

I did think that the book’s plot was a bit lost in the book. I also thought that the ending didn’t provide a lot of closure for my personal tastes. While the book was a very exciting read, I just felt that the book left me with more questions than answers.

Verdict: While I did feel like I didn’t get a proper ending, I did enjoy the book overall and I loved how unique it was. I hope that there is a continuation to this book because I feel like there could be some room for a sequel and I feel like ours characters tales are not done yet. This book would be excellent for any history buff and anyone who wants a quick read that would get them out of a slump.
