Sugar And Spice And Not So Nice by Janet McNulty

Mellow Summers just wanted to go to college and get her film degree. She moved into a furnished apartment with her friend Jackie only to find that it already had a tenant: the ghost of a girl who was murdered a year earlier. Now it is up to Mellow to not only discover who the murderer is, but to prove it as well.

With the help of the ghost Rachel, Mellow sets out to solve the year old mystery. She soon finds out that she may have taken on more than she can handle. Pursued by someone who wants the identity of the killer to remain a secret, Mellow will have to use all her resources to outwit him and help the spirit of Rachel move on.

(view spoiler)[And the creepiness begins. I wonder if she's going to be a real ghost or if this is some trick to scare Mel. (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[This was a fun story and quick read, but a bit unbelievable at times. Overall, it was okay. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[I thought Mel handled Rachel appearing to her pretty well. I mean, who wouldn't be scared but she recovered quickly.

Rachel's funny. I think if she weren't a ghost Mel and her would probably be friends.

It's terrible how Tom's life there was ruined to the point that he left. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Me too! This was one of the parts that reminded me of Veronica Mars. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[This was a cute story, though some parts were a tad unbelievable. I really liked Rachel, she was funny and always enjoyable. Mel, well she was okay but she did some really foolish things. All in all, for a Kindle freebie, this was a good book. It kind of reminded me of a mix of Nancy Drew and Veronica Mars. (hide spoiler)]
