Series:  Chasing Shadows #1Genre: YA Paranormal Romance / ContemporaryReceived from:  Evatopia Press (in exchange for an honest review)Recommended for:  18+ due to sexual contentGrammar/editing:  A – near perfectThis is the first book in a new series by Mia Fox.  They do need to be read in order.Nate has survived multiple tours in Afghanistan and each time he returned home to his girl, Ella.  During one of these visits home, after their regular Sunday morning date run in the mountains, Nate’s life is ended in a tragic car accident.  In her grief, Ella turns to his spirit.  The question is - do you believe in ghosts or do you believe she believes as a coping mechanism?This was the first book I picked up after completing the FIFTY SHADES OF GREY trilogy by E.L. James.  At about 25%, I posted on Facebook a thank you to Mia Fox for releasing this book.  I called it a balm to my literary soul.  I have not changed my mind.I loved this novella of ghosts and destiny.  It was very well-written with relatable, believable characters.  I have lost several people very near and dear to me (a child, a brother, and my best friend).  I would love to spend time with each of them again.  I think anyone who has experienced a significant loss could relate to the overwhelming desire to spend just a few more hours with their person.  Mia has taken that desire and developed a story of passion, friendship, and love.  I am looking forward to continuing this story in TRUST.
