Possession by C.J. Archer

My rating: 2.5 of 5 stars

Category: Young Adult
Genre: Paranormal, Paranormal Romance
Content: A makeout scene, two women are almost raped


When the ghost of a notorious killer possesses the body of an upper class youth, London's pre-eminent medium, Emily Chambers, must exorcise it before the spirit goes on a rampage. As if this isn't distraction enough, she must fight her feelings for brooding ghost, Jacob Beaufort, who doesn't like the new man in her life - the handsome and very much alive, Theodore Hyde.


This was not as good as the first book in the series. I was annoyed with the lack of plot advancement. The only answers we get in this book are about Emily's father. Other than that, there are no answers to be had in this book, just a lot of frustration. On top of that, there are things that the possessed characters do that wouldn't have just been swept under the rug. Their reputations would have been ruined. It also bothered me that the female characters that are almost raped in this book seem to get past it so easily.

In the last book, I was really rooting for Jacob and Emily to get together, but after reading this one, I felt really annoyed at Jacob. He's like a yo-yo with his feelings and actions. Poor Emily. All the brooding he does in this book gives Edward Cullen a run for his money. That isn't making me want to continue on with this series, but since there is only one more book, I probably will, just to see how things end up.
