I swear it was easier writing the book then trying to
convey 90,000 words into three short paragraphs. Which might not have been so
bad if my book didn’t cross multiple genres.
It’s paranormal. It’s a romance. It’s suspenseful. I want
so show them all.
I need a hook. I need to show conflict. Argh, argh, and
more argh!
So, here I am again, with a query I need critiqued. If
you want to comment – great (I value all criticism). If not, no biggie. I
understand. I’m horrible when it comes to giving my opinion, too!
Maybe that’s why I find it so hard to ask for opinions!
Okay, so here goes nothing…
GHOSTLY
LIAISON is a paranormal romance of 92,000 words.
After
recovering from an accident and coma, Bridget Quigley is sure she’s going
crazy, at least that’s her theory when she sees people appear and disappear in
a blink of an eye. But when she accepts the house-sitting job for Rob Gentry,
the hunky best man from her cousin’s wedding, she discovers she’s not going
insane. She just sees ghosts and one in particular – Rob’s sister, Charlie.
Stuck
in a world that can’t see or hear her, Charlie’s ecstatic when Bridget can and
begs the woman to help her move on. Her murder was staged as a suicide, but
Bridget won’t go to the authorities without proof and Charlie doesn’t have any.
She suggests asking her brother.
Bridget
secretly gleans information from Rob, only to find herself falling in love with
the guy. What’s worse, he cares for her, too. But a relationship isn’t in the
cards for her. Besides the whole ghost-seeing thing, the accident left her
disfigured and unworthy. While her heart and head struggle for dominance, she
gathers the proof she needs to help Charlie, and becomes the killer’s next
target.
So, does it make sense? Can you tell what the book is
about? Is there something majorly lacking? If this is the type of book you like
to read, would you open the book?
Even if you don’t want to give an opinion, I thank you
for reading this far!

Stacy, I'm going to email you with my comments.
IT's a good query, sounds like an interesting book, but... there are a couple of elements that need to be tightened up. And even though I don't read this genre, just from the query I would pick it up.
