KA is one of my favorite writers…of all time.  She is right up there with John Steinbeck and Harper Lee (although I am not comparing any of these authors to each other.)  I love her; I truly do…well, I love her books.  I don’t really know KA.  However, it was really hard for me to get into Penmort Castle.  For some reason, I just wasn’t feeling it.  I did like Cash and Abby together.  I felt like Cash was a really good character to pull Abby out of her shell and make her start experiencing life again.  But something about this ghost theme book didn’t make me zip through the pages like normal.I think if the plot line just covered Cash paying Abby to be his fake girlfriend and realizing that there was so much more to her than what he planned to find out, I would have loved it a little bit more.I do think that after reading this book, the ghost was a necessary addition to the plot line.  How else would Abby be able to meet Cash’s family and grow so close to them if they weren’t trying to figure out how to get rid of the supernatural being? Still, something was just off about it.  I liked it, but I didn’t love it.~MC
