A story narrated by a ghost? Yeeesss! This tale is told so convincingly that you may find yourself looking twice at the mirrors in your house, to make sure the wayward spirit of someone long dead isn't lingering, waiting to exact revenge on the living for crimes in the distant past. It begins with the most deftly creepy scene I've read in a long time, without descending into outright horror.

The Last to See Me by M. Dressler is a different kind of haunted house books with it being the ghost herself that is telling the tale. Emma Rose Finnis died a century ago, but she doesn't plan on leaving the place soon. Not even when an experienced ghost hunter arrives to clean the house and make it ghost free. No, she will do anything to stay...

The Last to See Me is an interesting ghost story, a bittersweet story about a young girl that grew up in a small village, but never got the chance to get the life she wanted. Instead, is she still there, haunting the Lambry mansion. The present story is what I found the most interesting, I usually love flashbacks to the past, but I have to admit that I was not always that interested in Emma Rose's life. It just dragged on a bit and as a character, before she died, was she just not especially interesting, nor had Emma Rose an interesting life. You know, young poor girl meets a rich young man that is not suited for her...

I was more interested in the battle between her and the ghost hunter, with the ghost hunter trying to figure out who is haunting the place. One thing I really liked was that the writing was so imaginative. It was easy to picture the landscape and the village. Loved the beginning of the book when the couple that was interested in the mansion got spooked. It was not that hard to pick a side in this book, whom you wanted to win. The ghost or the ghost hunter. I mean, who has been there the longest?

The ending of the book felt a bit confusing and I had to re-read it. Still, a couple of weeks since I read it does it still feel strange. However. I did find the book interesting and I would definitely read more books by the author.

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through Edelweiss for an honest review!

The most brilliant unexpected ghost story, ever. No usual tropes, but an invitation into to the mind of an eternally sentient being. I read it at once-- something I don't do--but I simply couldn't put it down.
