I chanced upon this book while searching for something to read for Halloween nd I actually liked it.  It is different from your normal "haunted story" where the main character gets abused by an evil spirit.  This book reminded me more of a spiritual journey type story. Not sure if that is what the author meant to do, but that's what it reminded me of.  Rosalie, the main character, has just lost her husband and has to deal with all of the headaches of a funeral.  While dealing with it, she remembers something that her grandmother taught her about speaking to the dark.  I thought that was an interesting concept actually.  What Rosalie doesn't realize is that there is actually a spirit listening to her; one of The Chosen.  Soon a spiritual battle for her soul takes place.  I'm just calling it that because that is how it looked to me because there was also a baddie ghost who want Rosalie to come to his side and not forgive the ones who hurt her in her past.  Anyway, I liked the way Rosalie, in practicing something her grandmother taught her, learns to come to grips with her past, which has haunted her a bit, while also learning to accept the present. Like I said I found this to be a pleasant read.  Though different from what I expected, that turned out to be a good thing.
