Review for His Name is John by Sjd Peterson:
Elliott Smith is hit by a car and rushed to the ER. So already he's having an incredibly bad day. Now they put him in a room and the man on the cart next to him has six bullets in him. So his day isn't going as bad as the other guys. That is until the dead man attaches himself to Elliot. Now he's been hit by a car and he is going completely insane and hearing "dead people"
This book is a wonderful mystery with lots of twist and turns and kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end. As the book moved along I found my self completely intrigued by John as Elliot sets out to find out who he is and who murdered him. In this story, Elliot basically has two very strong relationships. One with his artist lover and the other with John. Though it's hard to use the world "real" with a ghost, the relationship Elliot has with John is just that, real. I never put spoilers in my reviews so I'm not going to say anything else about how these two relationships work. What I will say is BUY THIS BOOK. It was fantastic. I can't wait to read more about Elliot, his lover and his ghost. I highly recommend this book!!!
