Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder

Restless souls and empty hearts

Brooklyn can't sleep. Her boyfriend, Lucca, died only a year ago, and now her friend Gabe has just died of an overdose. Every time she closes her eyes, Gabe's ghost is there waiting for her. She has no idea what he wants or why it isn't Lucca visiting her dreams.

Nico can't stop. He's always running, trying to escape the pain of losing his brother, Lucca. But when Lucca's ghost begins leaving messages, telling Nico to help Brooklyn, emotions come crashing to the surface.

As the nightmares escalate and the messages become relentless, Nico reaches out to Brooklyn. But neither of them can admit that they're being haunted. Until they learn to let each other in, not one soul will be able to rest.

-Barnes & Noble synopsis.

Written almost entirely in prose, this novel was a very fast-paced read. Although quick, however, it was also very emotional. Anyone who has ever lost someone can relate to this haunting tale. The characters of Brooklyn and Nico are fleshed out very well, and this book even ties in with Lisa Schroeder's first novel I Heart You, You Haunt Me, which I would also recommend.
