Tate Cooper has been with his girlfriend, Ruby, since he was 15. He can't imagine loving anyone else, yet he realizes at a party one night that he just doesn't love her anymore; not the way he once did. He's growing up but Ruby and the rest of his friends don't seem to be. To them, it's all about when the next party is. But Tate has goals and he realizes that he's got to leave these people behind if he's going to reach them.

Things change permanently when he tells Ruby it's over and then gives her a ride home on his motorcycle. A tragic event puts everything into a different perspective and brings an entirely new character into the mix. Her name is Eloise Jones and she can see things that others can't.

This was a rather captivating story. I think my only complaint is that I wished it had been a longer one. I was caught up in RUBY'S GHOST from the very beginning and there were a few surprises along the way as I made my way to the end. Although it was short, the book managed to explain things that needed it and actually didn't make it feel as if this was a rushed story.

RUBY'S GHOST illustrated what can happen when someone is forced to leave this world before they are ready. The story also suggests what happens to those people that are in between life and death. That's always been a huge topic of interest to me and I kind of liked what Shona Husk came up with about that.

All in all, RUBY'S GHOST is top rate entertainment and even leaves you with a bit of thought provoking insight into what could be on the other side. When you read it, you'll find that it was time well spent.
