Haunting Evergreen is a ghost story with a little tongue-in-cheek poke at the current ghost hunting craze. My personal belief goes along with what Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." I've had a few personal experiences that I couldn't explain, and I do believe that there's a world all around us that we can't see while we're in this mortal form—only once in a while people will have glimpses of it.
While the relationship between the main characters, Justin Marino and Lisa Ryan, does change and grow in the course of the story, this book isn't classified as a romance. In the beginning of the story, they don't like each other at all. Justin is a paranormal reseacher of psychic phenomena. He doesn't have a lot of respect for ghost hunters of the T.V. reality show ilk. Lisa Ryan is one of those ghost hunters. She even has her own T.V. show, Lisa Ryan, Ghost Finder. Their experience at Evergreen will change the dynamic between these two characters. If you like a an old-fashioned ghost story with a bit of humor and a hint of romance, I think you will enjoy Haunting Evergreen.
