This is a ghost/haunted house story, built around a skeptical actress in a live reality television show. It had a bit of an X-files feel at first, and then a scary, wild horror feel. On the surface, it seems pretty simple, but below the surface, there’s a lot more going on, which I won’t spoil, and it’s amazing how much packed into just a few pages. The ending satisfies.
One thing that stood out with this story in my opinion is the writing. There are some deliciously creepy descriptions. Here’s an example of one: “The pale light of the streetlamp slanted across his brow, obscuring his eyes in deep shadow. His nacreous skin stretched taut across his cheekbones and forehead; his shiny spiky hair was oily and flattened against the crown of his skull. His mouth contorted into a rictus. A small patch on his chest became glossy and turned a shade darker than black, glimmering and grotesque and growing; under the sickly gleam of the yellow light, his shirt turned to satin.” There’s just a lot of great creepiness like this.
If you enjoy great descriptions, a mystery feel, reality TV ghost shows, or wild horror, I think you would enjoy this book!

About the author
Fun read for those who enjoy supernatural intrigue
Ghostshow Live takes us on a hauntingly engaging journey with Tessie Gold, a former reality TV star grappling with her past as a ghost hunter. When her old co-host pitches a reunion episode featuring a supposedly haunted house, Tessie is torn and faces a difficult choice: embrace her past for a paycheck or continue moving forward. Degni created an intriguing story that draws you in from the start. The mix of reality TV nostalgia and supernatural elements makes for a unique story. While the story is compelling, there are moments where details feel sparse. It was a short read, but I feel like more details would have really helped this story out. Ghostshow Live offers a fresh take on the ghost-hunting genre with an interesting concept. Though it could use more fleshing out in parts, it's still a fun read for those who enjoy supernatural intrigue.
