What if the one thing you never meant to hold on to, is the one thing you can’t let go of?

Normally finding a hot guy in her bedroom wouldn’t irritate Zoe so badly, but finding her childhood friend Logan there is a big problem. Mostly because he’s dead.

As the only person he can make contact with, he talks Zoe into helping him put together the pieces surrounding his mysterious death so he can move on.

Thrust into his world of ultra popular rich kids, Zoe is out of her element and caught in the cross-hairs of Logan’s suspicious ex-girlfriend and the friends he left behind, each of whom had a reason to want him dead. The deeper they dig to find the truth, the closer Zoe gets to a killer who would do anything to protect his secrets. And that’s just the start of her problems because Zoe is falling for a dead guy.

Losing Logan has been on my bookshelf for a good number of years. I remember buying it back when it first released and thinking it sounded amazing. Then, story of my life, I got distracted by other books and just never got around to reading it. Losing Logan was very different to what I thought it was going to be, but in a very good way. I am so glad that I finally picked this one up.

When I picked this one up, I thought it was going to be a really emotional and sad story of loss, grief, and learning how to move on. And don’t get me wrong… it was. But that is just a small part of this book. What I didn’t expect, was the paranormal element and the hint of a mystery and thriller storyline. I loved that we had this mystery element of what actually happened to Logan. Our main character finds that she can see and speak to Logan’s spirit and she is determined to get to the bottom of what happened to him in order to help him be able to move on.

I really enjoyed Losing Logan, it is a gripping story that has you dying to read more, in order to find out what actually happened. Spirit Logan has lost his memory so we truly have to go through a journey to be able to find out what actually happened. My one little gripe is that this book is full of insta-love and that irritated me a little bit. I was constantly rolling my eyes and I just didn’t feel like the romance was overly believable.

If you’re a fan of cute romances, paranormal aspects and a good mystery and thriller then this book is for you. It was such a fun, quick read and is great for bumping up those reading challenges. I did really enjoy this book. I am really glad that I read it, however it isn’t one that I would re-read.
