An excellent book about young, sarcastic British ghost hunters. I'm reminded of Doctor Who (Anthony Lockwood could almost be a young David Tennant), but Stroud has still created something original that is not too creepy* but certainly suspenseful, with excellent characters, a nice dose of humor, and an absorbing plot. While there are hints of a probable future romance, it is not dwelt on, which I appreciate given what is considered romance in fiction these days. If I remember correctly, there was some mild language, but not enough to spoil the story for me. I'm not a fan of paranormal fiction generally in the sense of ghosts and hauntings, preferring the genre of medieval adventures (such as the Redwall series, the Chronicles of Narnia, or The Lord of the Rings), but in my opinion, this book and the two sequels I have read so far are entertaining, enjoyable, and worth the read. *my personal opinion, not an all-ages recommendation
