Ghost [gohst] noun: the soul of a dead person, a disembodied, vague, shadowy spirit wandering among or haunting living persons; a mere shadow or semblance; a trace.
That noun sums up Ghost and what his life has become with painful precision. He is barely living, merely existing but never thriving. There wasn’t much that could pull him from the darkness he willingly inhabits…except one thing. Her.
She is the reason he’s done what he’s done, and his life has become what it has become.
He haunts his former life, lurking in the background, surviving on occasional glimpses of the only thing good that is left in his miserable life. The horror he has inflicted upon her is nothing compared to the terror that waits for her when someone moves in to take her from him.
The thing about being stuck in the past is that it is like walking through life backwards. She is always looking back, so she doesn’t see what is happening in front of her. Unfortunately for her, it turns out that the ghosts of the past aren’t nearly as terrifying as the monsters of the future.
They say that true love is like a ghost, something that many talk about but few have seen. It’s a good thing for that, too, because he’ll need that element of surprise to protect her. Hopefully when the dust settles, he’ll be able to resurrect more than just himself.
OMG. OMG. OMG. I
swear I must have said OMG a thousand times while reading Beard Up. Lani Lynn Vale
outdid herself with this one and it is beautiful, tragic, heart breaking,
emotional and full of moments that you didn’t see coming. Now I know you want to know who Ghost
is. Well you won’t be hearing it from
me. Not only out of respect for Ms. Vale but because this is a book that you
need to EXPIERENCE to fully feel the IMPACT it delivers.
From the very first page until the last words at the end I
didn’t want to put it down. I had a
migraine the day it hit my kindle and I was not letting anything stop me from
reading Ghost’s story. This is a book
that builds with each revelation given, with each circumstance revealed, and
with every twist and turn thrown your way.
Obviously I won’t give the slightest hint to who Ghost is, so this is
going to be one of my shorter reviews so that I don’t spoil it for anyone. Just be prepared to FEEL, CRY, be CONSUMED,
and finally and most importantly find the TRUTH about what happened.
I absolutely can recommend Beard Up but I would recommend reading the previous books in the
series just to get a better background on why all of us are so curious as to
who he is. Lani Lynn Vale completely
blew me away with Beard Up, this one
was so worth the wait and the questions, I loved it and can’t wait for more of
this series and more from this author.
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
