"After a summer spent in a haunted castle--a summer in which she traveled through time to solve a murder mystery--Kat is looking forward to a totally normal senior year at McTernan Academy. Then the ghost of a little girl appears and begs Kat for help, and more unquiet apparitions follow. All of them are terrified by the Dark One, and it soon becomes clear that that this evil force wants Kat dead. Searching for help, Kat leaves school for the ancestral home she's only just discovered. Her friend Evan, whose family is joined to her own by an arcane history, accompanies her. With the assistance of her eccentric great aunts and a loyal family ghost, Kat soon learns that she and Evan can only fix the present by traveling into the past. As Kat and Evan make their way through nineteenth-century Vienna, the Dark One stalks them, and Kat must decide what she's willing to sacrifice to save a ghost."… (mere)

Kat spent the summer in a haunted castle where she traveled through time and helped solved a murder mystery. She didn’t do it alone, Evan was with her and she couldn’t have done it without him. Which wasn’t a surprise once she realized the history behind their families and the ties that bind them together.

Now Kat is back at McTernan Academy for her senior year. After spending most of her life making sure that ghosts couldn’t contact her, it seems like the floodgates are open. She is being asked to solve problems for many who have passed before. Kat’s been doing her best, but helping ghosts is exhausting and she’s worried someone at school will walk in on one of her encounters.
When the ghost of a young girl begs Kat for help, she knows that she has no choice but to become involved. Unfortunately, she learns that the Dark One, an evil force, wants Kat dead. Will she even survive her senior year?

Kat knows she needs help and the only people can help her are two great aunts she has never met. But, they live in the ancestral home and that is the only place she can train and learn about her abilities. What she learns may help her to save the ghost of the young girl, but her own life will be put in danger. Is it worth the risk? Is there a choice? Find out what adventures await Kat and Evan and what they may sacrifice along the way.

I was lucky enough to read an ARC of The Girl Who Saved Ghosts, book 2 in the Unbelievables series. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to read it again now that I have a print copy. What a fun book! It was fascinating finding out about Kat’s ancestors and how different families are connected. I would love to see her ring, which helps her to contact ghosts. The magical artifacts in the story all sound interesting! I like the way the characters continued to develop in this story and now that Kat knows more about her father and other relatives she has a depth to her that makes her seem wise beyond her years. The story brings the supernatural together with reality in a way that makes the magic that much more believable. A perfect mixture! Things really get tense when lives are on the line and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series. What will happen next?

Even better then the first book! You can really tell how the author's writing has developed. The writing is a lot more polished. Can't wait to see what's in store for Kat & Evan in book 3! ( )

Kat has been in a struggle since they came home from Castle Creighton. She's been constantly hounded by ghosts who are lining up for the chance to get their "reckoning", or their final piece before they can move on. They're lining up waiting to talk to her which is sapping her of all her strength. It leaves her helpless and weakened which is not good because of what fate has in store for them.

There is a great evil in the game now that you could even call the ultimate evil. It's an ancient evil that has been around for centuries. This evil is now after Kat. She gets to adventure to the Langley home and learns more about her family lineage and the lore behind all the families. Which is tough for her since she grew up without knowing anything or anyone from this side of her family, including her father. Going to her families ancestral land is really important because it starts Kat and Evan on a clear path for their futures as the current heirs to two of the four families. I loved the family history part of this. Just the idea of it is fantastic and I can't wait to see how the future books in the series continue.

Of course, since Kat's powers deal with the past, they go into the past again. Just Kat and Evan again, and this time its to get his families relic. A dagger of badassery... I don't want to spoil too much, but I feel like each family has some amazing mystical properties to them. You start to really touch into that in this book when the two begin their training.

I'm dying to know how many books are going to be in the series. The book is written with a good clear path for character development and I am looking forward to seeing them grow. I can say I'm attached to these characters for sure. Not to mention the budding romances and where they are going to go. I was totally like a teenager girl in those two moments that I will not spoil. You'll have to read the book so you can grin like little girl like me.

I am very thankful for my copy from NetGalley for me to review. ( )

The Girl Who Saved Ghosts by K C Tansley is Book II of The Unbelievables, so this will be a short but ‘you will want to read this book’ review.

She had put a target on her back from the Dark One, after solving the Radcliffe mystery. Back at school, and the ghosts are relentless, wanting her help.

Kat is headstrong, protective, sometimes reckless. She puts her life on the line. She is the peacemaker between the four families, the Radcliffes the Kingsleys, the Mallorys and her own family, the Langleys. She had only known her mother, so when she was given the chance to meet the rest of the family, she jumped on it and it’s off to Dumbarton.

The ring had chosen her. She could not ignore it, or turn her back on her legacy.

“Forget fate Kat. We make our own destiny.”

It is wonderful to have a best friend like Morgan, steadfast and open to the unknown.

The danger is mounting and time is short.She must travel to the past again and change what has already been written.

I love the combination of genres, the mix of the four young ones who will change their history. To me, the stories hint of Charmed, Supernatural, The Ghost Whisperer…Now, there is only one amulet left to find, so I guess that means another adventure. I’m all in.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts by K C Tansley

I just happened to find The Girl Who Saved Ghosts while searching for some new books to read and I found myself instantly intrigued by this book's synopsis. So much so that I new I had to read it!

This book is full of magic, time travel, one budding romance, one ghostly romance, lots of action/adventure and seat of your pants drama. The story flows well and the main characters are captivating, engaging and realistic. While this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone book as well. The author does a good job of including just enough facts from book 1 to help the reader "catch up" in book 2. It also leaves the reader wanting to read book one as well. {Guess that explains why as soon as I finished this book I went and bought a copy of the first book, The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts!}

Overall, I really enjoyed reading The Girl Who Saved Ghosts and I highly recommend it !

I received this book for free. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are my own. Thank you to Ms. Tansley, Beckett Publishing Group and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. ( )
