The Ex Who Glowed in the Dark (Charley's Ghost Book 2) Kindle Edition

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Book 2 in Charley’s Ghost series

Amanda was in the process of divorcing her lying, cheating husband Charley when he was murdered, so she’s stuck with his last name. And even worse, she’s stuck with his ghost.

She can’t seem to get rid of his ghost, but at least she is able to go to court and get rid of his name. Elated at the small victory, she returns to her motorcycle repair shop ready to celebrate. But her assistant, Dawson, is having a meltdown because his younger brother has been kidnapped.

Amanda can see the obvious pain Dawson is in, but in the two years he’s worked for her he’s never mentioned a brother. Is this brother real or only an avatar from one of the computer games he loves to play? Charley thinks Dawson is losing it. Amanda thinks Charley lost it a long time ago.

Dawson produces an e-mail from johndoe666@e-mail.com demanding computer code written by Dawson’s father as ransom for the boy. That seems a little odd. Don’t kidnappers typically want large sums of money in unmarked bills as a ransom?

When Dawson tells Amanda his name isn’t really Dawson Page and that, since his parents were murdered two years ago, he and his brother have been living under false identities bequeathed to them by their father, she really begins to worry about him.

Then she talks to his next door neighbor to find out if he saw anything, and the man wearing a tin foil hat tells her he’s never seen Dawson’s brother, but if somebody’s missing, aliens undoubtedly took him to work in the crystal mines on Alpha Centauri.

Though the kidnappers have warned Dawson not to bring in the police, Amanda decides the situation has gone beyond her ability to help by offering a cold Coke and soothing words. She calls Jake Daggett, the detective who saved her life a couple of months before. Charley isn’t happy about that. He claims she only called Daggett because she wants to see him again. That really isn’t the only reason, but he does look nice in his T-shirt stuffed with bulging biceps, pecs and deltoids.

In case the kidnappers are watching when he arrives and might identify him as a cop, Amanda greets him as cousin Jake and throws her arms around him in a friendly cousin sort of way which Charley finds completely unnecessary.

Will the kidnappers believe Jake is her cousin? Do the kidnappers even exist? Is Grant only an Avatar? Will Amanda ever find a way to torture Charley? Will she give up her trademark Coke for a Pepsi? Will Global Warming melt Amanda’s Magnum Double Chocolate ice cream bar?

Okay, you need to test that last question for yourself, but the answers to everything else are in this book!

About the Author

Welcome to my world! Come in, pull up a chair, grab a glass of iced tea and let's chat. I grew up in a small rural town in southeastern Oklahoma where our favorite entertainment on summer evenings was to sit outside under the stars and tell stories. When I went to bed at night, instead of a lullaby, I got a story. That could be due to the fact that everybody in my family has a singing voice like a bullfrog with laryngitis, but they sure could tell stories-ghost stories, funny stories, happy stories, scary stories. For as long as I can remember I've been a storyteller. Thank goodness for computers so I can write down my stories. It's hard to make listeners sit still for the length of a book! Like my family's tales, my stories are funny, scary, dramatic, romantic, paranormal, magic. Besides writing, my interests are reading, eating chocolate and riding my Harley. Contact information is available on my website. I love to talk to readers! And writers. And riders. And computer programmers. And teachers. And gardeners. And dogs. And puppets and poets and pirates and pawns and kings. Okay, I just plain love to talk! http: //www.sallyberneathy.com

    5.0 out of 5 stars Or just what If like without telling the story
    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is my first review so I don't know how much of the story I should mention. Or just what If like without telling the story, that is what I'm going to go with. I should read others before I did this one. I will after I get this done before I do another one. So here is what I think with out telling the story before you get a chance to read it.
    U liked this story but you have to read the first one of Charley's Ghost stories. So you know what its all about. Its like getting the carriage before the horse if you know what I mean.
    This story is about a ghost, but I think if children is afraid of ghost it's a nice book for children to read age 13 and above. It's more of a nice ghost that can't leave this land. And he follows his wife, or ex wife (they were in the process of getting a divorce) around and she can't get rid of him. No matter were she is he is even riding on her motor-cycle. It's a comical, but still a mystery.

    When Amanda’s assistant, Dawson, has a meltdown because his brother is kidnapped, what else can she do but get involved? Or get him some help since she doubts the boy ever existed. Upset she legally reverted to her maiden name, her almost ex-husband’s ghost, Charley, is stuck with her. He might as well help, even when her new almost-love-interest cop gets involved. When Amanda rides into a heap of trouble chasing leads, Charley’s advice might get her killed. With a delightfully twisted plot, snarky dialogue, remarkable characters, near misses, and a good dose of tension, this book kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning. I highly recommend it for paranormal mystery readers who enjoy some fun in the story.

    Amanda has yet to get the ghost of her almost divorced, dead husband to leave her alone. He was such a lousy husband in life so he has decided to protect her in death. In this book Amanda learns that her mild mannered and nerdy assistant Dawson has a mysterious past as well as a little brother she knew nothing about. When the brother is kidnapped Amanda and Charlie are ready to help. This is another great book. The author continues to build on the characters and story lines established in the first book and it is easy to fall in love with these characters. I highly recommend this series of books!

    It was okay. I had been saving this for a long plane flight. I did not think it was as good as the first book"The Ex That Wouldn't Die.. It was a little disjointed to me. Of course it is a fantasy, but even as a fantasy there were some parts that didn't work for me. It was hard for me to get into it also. I didn't think it was fast paced, or that funny. It did have a lot of humor in it but not the laugh out loud
    kind. Nor the giggle kind. The book did it purpose. It entertained me while I was on six hour flight. I would not recommend this to my friends but I would not discourage any one from buying and reading either. Go for it.
