I love Speed Dating Dead ebook
Speed Dating with the Dead was a REALLY fun read. It features a great cast of characters start ing with Digger, the lead paranormal investigator who doesn't actually believe in the paranormal, but pulls together a diverse team of investigators and psychics to present a conference for Ghost-Hunter-wannabes in an allegedly haunted hotel in North Carolina. The team consists of a few conventional ghost hunters, a demonologist, and a teenage, high-tech, Internet-rock-star of paranormal investigation who also happens to be the secret crush of Digger's gothy teenage daughter. Digger has also added a few psychic "ringers" to the mix. Conference attendees range from flaky true believers to arrogant skeptics to undercover scientists who are potential saboteurs. Even the hotel staff has its share of kooky characters to add to the fun and folly.
The conference begins, and we meet all the characters and learn a little about each one's motivations and prepare for an amusing weekend of comedy and errors with con men, shills and suckers in a pseudo-haunted hotel. Then..... and THEN!!!! It turns out the hotel really IS haunted - and worse!
Lots of fun, but also some serious scares. Nicholson managed to keep a perfect balance of humor and horror throughout. At 346 pages, (paperback edition) it is an average size novel, but it was such a pleasure to read, that I zipped through it like it was a novella. Highly recommended for horror fans for sure, but also for anyone who just wants a fun read.
