SEEING IS BELIEVING is a very quick read. It is the story of
Piper
Tucker. She has a special gift. She sees ghosts! Piper has
always been
special even as a child. Piper's father Danny didn't even
know she existed
until her worthless step father dropped her off in
Danny's driveway when she was just eight years old.
One day while she is babysitting her cousins, in walks Brady
Stritmeyer.
Piper has had a crush on him since she was eight years old
and he was
fifteen. He left Cuttersville years ago and never looked
back. Piper is
embarrassed to realize that her feelings haven't changed for
Brady. He
looks real good and much to their mutual surprise they wind
up in the same
bed! Now this is where the book gets really interesting and
funny.
Everyone in their small town knows everyone else's business
and it doesn't
take long for the word to get out that they have something
going on. No
one thinks Brady is good enough for Piper. She is special
and deserves
someone better. Someone who will stay with her and give her
everything
she wants and desires. She doesn't care what they are
saying and knows
that Brady will be going back to Chicago before long. She
doesn't care.
She likes the way he makes her feel and she loves being with
him.
The ghosts Piper sees are really starting to get to her. One
in particular
named Rachel. She died one hundred and fifty years ago. She
was
thought to have killed her fiancé who's name was Brady also.
Supposedly,
she walked in on him and the house maid in a compromising
position and
in a fit of jealous rage, beat him with a candle stick in
the head. She died
later in an insane asylum. Rachel has been making her
presence known to
Piper and it is starting to get on Piper's nerves. Piper
wants to help Brady
figure it why he shares the exact name as Rachel's dead
finance. She tries
to talk to Rachel but the ghost has never spoken to her
before and doesn't
now.
I don't know how I never read any of Erin McCarthy's books
before now,
but, I really enjoyed SEEING IS BELIEVING. It is a really
awesome love story with a bit
of paranormal thrown in. I found myself cheering for Piper
and Brady and
hoping they could work things out. I'm really looking
forward to reading
more by Erin.
SUMMARY
Cuttersville, Ohio is full of ghosts, and they all want
Piper Tucker's help. One guy in town just wants Piper. Ever since Piper Tucker was young she wanted to be like
everyone else, but her uncanny ability to see ghosts always
put her on the other side of normal. And the apparitions are
showing up now more than ever, desperately seeking help. But
what can she possibly do for them? They've already been dead
for years. Besides, she has a personal concern of her own
right now. A real flesh and blood concern—named Brady. He's Piper's childhood crush, and no sooner is he back in
town than sparks start giving off heat. For Brady, it's hard
not to notice the sexy young woman Piper's become, or forget
the special gift she had as a girl. And right now it could
come in handy, because a long-forgotten murder has been
keeping a restless spirit from finding peace. All Piper and
Brady have to do is solve the crime to put the specter to
rest. But the passion brewing between them is just as
restless, and could prove twice as dangerous.
