Review: Sex and the Single Ghost

Being an avid fan of Fantasy/Paranormal chick lit, I was eager to read this book. It’s a story about a girl named Claire who died nine years ago. For the past near decade she has sat in “Purgatory”, which is sort of like a version of the Afterlife, or Heaven.

Every nine years, souls in the Afterlife get to go back down to earth in their original physical body for one night – on Halloween. If in that time the person manages to touch a human’s soul, they are allowed to stay on earth for nine days and nights.

Claire is desperate to get down to earth because she is dying to have sex. Yes, that’s right – apparently in the Afterlife, there is no sex, no eating chocolate, no fun. (Who knew the Afterlife would be full of horny ghosts??) So upon her trip back to earth, she tries to track down the one man that she has desperately wanted to sleep with for years.

Little does she know that he is also “dead”, too.. and returning to Earth as a ghost.

ChickLitBooks is Now a Blog

Hey everyone… welcome to the new ChickLitBooks.com.

You’ll notice several changes here. First and most importantly, we are now a blog. You are probably asking “Why??” Many reasons factored into my decision to do this, but it was mostly the fact that blogging is a lot easier – yet powerful – to manage than running a regular site. As many of you know, this site has languished since June and was even down for about a month in the late summer. In any case, making this site into a blog will be a very easy way to keep files backed up (in case we have a server crash like last time) and save TONS of time with updates.

Please bear with us during the transition; I will be adding tons of content and information over the next few days! You are free to leave comments, but if spam becomes a problem I will require you to register on this blog to leave comments. It would be wise to save yourself time and do it now.

Also, if you’d like to be linked in our blogroll, please email me at rian@chicklitbooks.com and I will be happy to exchange links if you run a book or chick lit related site.
