Summary: A wonderful mystery, full of character! A great movie?
Review: A visit to Ghostal Shores is worth the price of admission. My favorite aspect was the characters. They were realistic and full of life, even the ghosts. California Ghosting is a nice twist on the haunted house theme, blending action, suspense, mystery and romance at a fluid pace that keeps moving faster and faster. I could clearly see the characters and the resort. This would make a great movie!

Summary: Great tale, great characters, imaginative happenings!
Review: As the characters evolve, and the plot thickens, California Ghosting creates an entirely enchanting environment for a who-dunnit. Point Reyes has been thoroughly researched and times gone by have been totally recreated in the now. The ghostal characters can be vividly imagined, due to the extensive descriptions of each individual personna and their lively intereactions not only the living, but with each other as well. Mix these ingredients with a dash of romance amongst the living, a sense of humor, and supsense, and there exists a novel that will keep you reading.

Summary: Interesting and full of suspense
Review: California Ghosting is a fitting continuation in Mr. Hills supernatural genre. So far the trio I've read keep me on the lookout for the next William Hill release. Dawn of the Vampire, Vampires Kiss, California Ghosting. Vampire Hunters is next on my list, Mr. Hill will have to write fast to have the next book available before I have finish it.

Summary: C.G. is so full of life, the Ghosts aren't even dead!
Review: I was very impressed with the vivid dicription of all the characters, and there are plenty. I also loved the fact that there is a list of them and thier relationships to one another in the front of the book. I referred to it a couple of times while reading the story. But I really liked the idea of having it there at all, it reminded me of the opening credits of an old movie.As for the story, I found it very refreshing to read about a subject, often cliche'd, in such a new light. I enjoyed reading actual indian rituals to ward off ghosts. Mr. Hill did his research and instead of presenting the information in a clinically discriptive way, he discribes it to a 'T' in a very entertaining way that gets you even more involved with the characters and story. The characters are so rich and full of vibrance and life that you have to look around the room once in a while to make sure that they are still in the book and not floating about the place. I enjoyed "California Ghosting" very much. If you want to read a good ghost story, don't buy this book. If you want to read a GREAT ghost story, you know where the order form is.

Summary: An enjoyable potpourri of characters
Review: William Hill's "California Ghosting" is a well-rounded mix of mystery, suspense and fantasy, filled with interesting individuals. Even if I wasn't pulled along nicely by the plot (and I certainly was), I would have kept turning pages just to see what the people (and ghosts) in the story would do next. I particularly liked some of the subtler elements, like the interactions between some of the "fully-fleshed" ghost characters and various two-dimensional, "real" minor characters . . .
