I could not put this book down. From the first page, I was enthralled by the characters and the way Tansley managed to layer their interconnectedness was truly inspiring. The mystery was well maintained and the magic perfectly explained. I will definitely be recommending this book to others and I look forward to reading the next one. I've found a new author for my must-read list. This book was reviewed on Goodreads and Amazon.

I was presently surprised by this book. Since the main character was a teen, I expected the typical YA drama, but the characters were surprisingly mature. The body sharing was interesting, but at times I was a little confused on who was controlling the body. The mystery was well written, and I loved the paranormal elements.

I've been trying to read this book for a while now - entering every one of Goodreads' giveaways for this book and eventually I managed to get hold of this book through Netgalley. When I was accepted to read this book in exchange for an honest review, I was so excited! Now, this is a difficult review for me, because I really really wanted to love this book and whilst there were parts that were really amazingly written, there were parts I didn't take to quite so much. The actual best part for me was when Kat and Evan travel back in time. During that whole experience, I could not put the book down. It was magical and weird meeting characters that they'd only read about before. What was a let down for me though was the ending. It just felt rushed. The proposal was over within 2 sentences. A proposal is meant to be beautiful and emotional and yet I felt nothing. It probably didn't help that I feel nothing towards the two characters involved, or, if anything, I disliked them both. I think the scene with all the ghosts had so much potential, but there was just so many names being thrown at me that I was so overwhelmed and by the end of the scene I couldn't even remember who was who anymore. I probably won't read the rest of the series, which is a shame, because if the ending was rewritten to feel less rushed, I think this could have the potential for a 5 star rating.

First let me start by saying this is my first paranormal mystery/romance/suspense that focused on some type of time travel. I really enjoyed how the story between the mystery of the past entwined the people working together in the present. There were definitely a few surprises along the way that I wasn't expecting; like the connection of souls. I usually stay away from time travel books but something in the description called to me so I decided to read it, and I am very glad I did. I am adding this author K.C. Tansley as one of my must read authors and I am excited to read many more books from her.
Thank you NetGalley and K.C. Tansley for allowing me to read and review this book.

I just have to say, I entered to win paperbacks of this book and it's sequal, but I did not get it. The author was kind enough to send me ebooks of these two books and it means a lot! I have been dying to read this series and I am so thankful that I got the chance to thanks to the author, publisher, and netgalley.

This book is fun, unique, and pretty awesome. I love a good story where someone can see ghosts, but this goes way way beyond it! Time travel, murder mystery, deadline before they are trapped - or worse dead. This is seriously AWESOME!

Because I wanted to read The Girl Who Saved Ghosts, I thought it would be best to start with the first part of the series The Unbelievables. What a name, but certainly a fitting one. If you read the blurb you can't help but frown a little: fast-paced, time-travel murder mystery? With paranormal and gothic mystery genres weaved with ancestral curses and powerful spells??? Well, if that doesn't do it for you, I don't know what does...

Although the blurb is a bit over the top, it still got me curious. So I met wit Kat, a girl who was seeing ghosts from a very early age. And then she became possessed by one. Fortunately she was saved by a very friendly ghost, Toria, who helped her to 'unbelieve' in ghosts. Little did Kat know that Toria was actually one of her ancestors...

But for several years, Kat managed to ignore the ghosts, until she is asked by her professor to help with the investigation of an 129 year old mysterious murder case at a castle on the Isle of Acacia. Together with Evan Kingsley, Kat's infuriating TA, Morgan, her BFF and the mysterious Seth, she embarks on an adventure to discover what happened to Cassie and Sebastian on their wedding night so many years ago.
Kat and Evan get pulled into the past through a mirror in the castle and end up in the bodies of Toria and Allistair. Together, they have to discover what is happening in the castle and how they can come back to the present.
An intriguing story with a lot of characters, both from past and present are futuring in this story. Once you have all the people of the different families and their different ties in view, it is a very interesting read.
So without spoiling the story, I would say that once you get submerged into the story, you will most likely be turned from an Unbeliever into a Believer! Five out of five stars from me, with a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

I will admit that I didn't expect very much from this book. I will also admit i was quite wrong. I expected a poorly written carbon copy of every other ghost story out there. But what i got was a uniquely detailed story about a teen girl who had to take on more than anyone should.
This book was fast paced and extremely detailed, not the kind of book you want to start on a day that your brain isnt switched on. You get pumped with information and details from the first few chapters.
Overall this book was a great read and i cant wait to start the sequel

A big Thank you to NetGalley and Beckett Publishing for the ARC for my honest review.

I did this totally backwards. I read the 2nd book first and this book 2nd. I know crazy...but I enjoyed both of them immensely. Highly recommend them and am planning on sending a couple of copies to my students in the Marshall Islands. Enjoy well worth the read.
