Jason Arnopp - author of acclaimed cult hit The Last Days of Jack Sparks - returns with a razor-sharp thriller for a social-media obsessed world. Prepare to never look at your phone the same way again . . .

Kate Collins has been ghosted.

She was supposed to be moving in with her new boyfriend Scott, but all she finds after relocating to Brighton is an empty apartment. Scott has vanished. His possessions have all disappeared.

Except for his mobile phone.

Kate knows she shouldn't hack into Scott's phone. She shouldn't look at his Tinder, his calls, his social media. But she can't quite help herself.

That's when the trouble starts. Strange, whispering phone calls

from numbers she doesn't recognise. Scratch marks on the walls that she can't explain. And the growing feeling that she's being watched.

Kate refuses to leave the apartment - she's not going anywhere until she's discovered what happened to Scott. But the deeper she dives into Scott's digital history the more Kate realises just how little she really knows about the man she loves.

Supernatural | Mystery

A supernatural mystery centered around social media? Yup! That’s this book in a nutshell. In an attempt to get out of my current book slump I’ve decided to pick up books from different genres off of my bookshelves. Ghoster immediately drew my attention because I loved the authors first novel and I needed something totally different than romance. Am I out of my book slump after reading this one? Not completely but this one DID help a lot! What a THRILLING RIDE!

Ghoster didn’t scare me but it did leave me with some chills. There were a few parts in this novel that shook me a little bit but for the most part I found it to be mysterious rather than scary. I love the premise of the book; a woman is ghosted by a man she is supposed to be moving in with and searches for the truth in terms of what happened to him. Readers will form their own thoughts as to his whereabouts (is he pranking her, is he just a total jerk, or is there something more sinister taking place) and when the big reveal happens I can promise you will be shocked regardless of what you thought! I myself was quite disturbed with the ending and I think many readers will agree that it was both unique and bone chilling.

If you can enjoy a book where the characters credibility and mental health are questionable then this may be the book for you! I love an unreliable narrator and Kate Collins fit the bill. Also, if supernatural books with twisted plots are your jam, you’ll want to check this one out. Jason Arnopp writes some unique horror and I’m always looking for his next release because of it.
