i enjoyed Ghouls Night Out.  LaRue  Donavan(and Ms. Pressey get extra points for that uncommon name because i have a weird name too)is a ghost whisperer. she's a ghost whisperer that likes fashion, margaritas, chocolate cherry coffee, and is a great best friend.as a ghost hunter, she's fearless.  as a friend, she's fierce.  as a bookshop owner, she's capable.  but as a girlfriend to a real life man...she might as well be a ghost herself.  her best friend (who btw is a pole dancer aerobics teacher) is a hoot - always has her back and often brings fattening temptations for her.an interesting thing about LaRue...she collects ghosts. more often than not, her ghosts don't cross over quickly. they just follow her around and become nuisances to  her.then, there is a bad witch (literally a witch and with a capital 'B' too). she provides a lot of the plot conflicts as she is also vying for the affections of the hot cafe owner.what did bother me is that LaRue doesn't use her ghosties to her benefit. she's annoyed by them. (OK, so they don't exactly respect her privacy.) one of her ghosties is Abraham Lincoln.  Yes, the President. and she treats him like an imbecile uncle. don't like that Lincoln is solely focused on getting her a boyfriend. use his smartness, girl! how do you not learn from him by asking him all kinds of important history things?still, it's a quick read and enjoyable.  the witch aspect is horridly fun!  i will read more in the series. and will try her Rylie Cruz series as well.
