I was very impressed with the vivid dicription of all the characters, and there are plenty. I also loved the fact that there is a list of them and thier relationships to one another in the front of the book. I referred to it a couple of times while reading the story. But I really liked the idea of having it there at all, it reminded me of the opening credits of an old movie.

As for the story, I found it very refreshing to read about a subject, often cliche'd, in such a new light. I enjoyed reading actual indian rituals to ward off ghosts. Mr. Hill did his research and instead of presenting the information in a clinically discriptive way, he discribes it to a 'T' in a very entertaining way that gets you even more involved with the characters and story.

The characters are so rich and full of vibrance and life that you have to look around the room once in a while to make sure that they are still in the book and not floating about the place.

I enjoyed "California Ghosting" very much. If you want to read a good ghost story, don't buy this book. If you want to read a GREAT ghost story, you know where the order form is.

A visit to Ghostal Shores is worth the price of admission. My favorite aspect was the characters. They were realistic and full of life, even the ghosts. California Ghosting is a nice twist on the haunted house theme, blending action, suspense, mystery and romance at a fluid pace that keeps moving faster and faster. I could clearly see the characters and the resort. This would make a great movie!

As the characters evolve, and the plot thickens, California Ghosting creates an entirely enchanting environment for a who-dunnit. Point Reyes has been thoroughly researched and times gone by have been totally recreated in the now. The ghostal characters can be vividly imagined, due to the extensive descriptions of each individual personna and their lively intereactions not only the living, but with each other as well. Mix these ingredients with a dash of romance amongst the living, a sense of humor, and supsense, and there exists a novel that will keep you reading.

Have already read the book twice and recommend it for readers of all ages. Mr. Hill has a command of the English language and has an exciting writing style.

William Hill's "California Ghosting" is a well-rounded mix of mystery, suspense and fantasy, filled with interesting individuals. Even if I wasn't pulled along nicely by the plot (and I certainly was), I would have kept turning pages just to see what the people (and ghosts) in the story would do next. I particularly liked some of the subtler elements, like the interactions between some of the "fully-fleshed" ghost characters and various two-dimensional, "real" minor characters . . .

California Ghosting is a highly imaginative story. A resort where the ghosts are the main attraction. The numerous ghosts are very entertaining and I found myself forgetting that many of them were ghosts. These ghosts all have character and dare I say "humanity".

You are introduced to the world and it's ghosts at the same time as the new owner of Ghostal Shores. Learning about all the ghosts and mysteries of this world class resort. There are many colorful and likeable characters in this book as well as a number of unlikable, terrible characters.

I really liked this story, Laughing and crying in turn. I highly recommend this story to mystery and ghost lovers as well.

California Ghosting is a fitting continuation in Mr. Hills supernatural genre. So far the trio I've read keep me on the lookout for the next William Hill release. Dawn of the Vampire, Vampires Kiss, California Ghosting. Vampire Hunters is next on my list, Mr. Hill will have to write fast to have the next book available before I have finish it.
