Allison accompanies her friend Tina to a party at Logan Mitchell’s home. Allison is her wingman as Tina networks and looks for slutty sex. Allison does not have a good impression of the people who attend these types of parties. Looking across the room she makes eye contact with Logan and feels a connection with him. Running from him she meets a woman in white who is crying. Allison tries to help her but the emotions she picks up from this woman are so strong that Allison is unable to stay or help the woman in Carrie Pulkinen’s TO CATCH A SPIRIT. Logan tries to find Allison but he has his own issues to deal with.

Allison and Logan are great characters. I like that both come with baggage and flaws. Allison carries guilt from the death of her parents that she has not come to grips with. Logan is obsessive-compulsive. Watching each try to deal with their problems alone is tough. As a reader, you know they will work better together and you want that so bad, you root for them. I groaned as they both try to be altruistic and let the other go. I wanted them together because they worked so well as one.

The story was interesting. Allison is psychic who has dealt with the dead in the past so they will pass over. A bad experience the previous year has kept her from helping the dead as she helps the living. But she has to face that past as well as her other issues. Logan also has to face his past and make peace with it. He has to deal with his OCD and suicidal thoughts as well as a ghost in his house.

Neither character is perfect but they are perfect together. I hope this is the first of a series. I would like to know what happens with the secondary characters and I want to know that Allison and Logan make it as a couple. ( )
