Texas Gothic
by Rosemary Clement-Moore
Amy Goodnight's family is far from normal. She comes from a line of witches, but
tries her best to stay far outside the family business. Her summer gig?
Ranch-sitting for her aunt with her wacky but beautiful sister. Only the
Goodnight Ranch is even less normal than it normally is. Bodies are being
discovered, a ghost is on the prowl, and everywhere she turns, the hot neighbor
cowboy is in her face. (description from Amazon.com)
A fun read. Amy is snarky-type hilarious. I loved the romance in this one, too!

I loved this sequel. Dark, romantic, haunting...and set in the ultimate haunted location, New Orleans! This one will make you go, "Say, what?!" I *need* book three, ASAP!!

Ghostopolis
by Doug TenNapel
Imagine Garth Hale's surprise when he's accidentally zapped to the spirit world by
Frank Gallows, a washed-out ghost wrangler. Suddenly Garth finds he has powers
the ghosts don't have, and he's stuck in a world run by the evil ruler of
Ghostopolis, who would use Garth's newfound abilities to rule the ghostly
kingdom. When Garth meets Cecil, his grandfather's ghost, the two search for a
way to get Garth back home, and nearly lose hope until Frank Gallows shows up to
fix his mistake. (description from Amazon.com)
I was surprised how much I actually liked this graphic novel. It's easy to read, the drawings are creepy, but very clear, and the storyline was cool.
