Sarah Markham always assumed that the Ivy League was her ticket to a new life. But after graduating from Harvard at the height of the Great Recession, she finds herself with no job offers and not much hope. That all changes when she enters a bookshop owned by Samuel, an eccentric intellectual who offers her not just a job, but also a place to stay. Sarah soon discovers a small catch though: her room is haunted by Lucy Larch, an opinionated and strong-willed ghost from the 1940s. As Sarah tries to help Lucy move on, she meets handsome Irishman Ian Flynn and falls in love, but her insecurities soon threaten every relationship she’s built. 
As Sarah grapples with questions of faith, love, and identity, she must learn to embrace not just the spirits of the present, but the haunting pain of the past. Can she accept her past, and more importantly herself, in order to let love in?All Rights Reserved

Nothing Scientific About It | [COMPLETE] by apparentlysmart

PAST RELATIONSHIPS CAN HAUNT YOU...BUT IT'S NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS! Everyone said Finch House was haunted, but Emma Baker never saw the ghost of Eleanor Finch over the eighteen years she lived there, no matter how much her or her childhood best friend and neighbor Cade Carter tried. Now, six years after Emma left Finch House to chase a boy and seven years after Cade was kicked out of his house by his parents for the terrible act of turning eighteen, Cade has purchased Finch House from Emma's mother and he wants to finally catch Eleanor. What begins as a simple night of ghost-hunting becomes a journey into past relationships neither of them were ready to relive. While Cade might have had a plan to nab himself a spirit, it seems Eleanor has a plan of her own...a plan to help both of them nab something much more real than they ever could have guessed.

The Medium by CjArcher

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.

Ghosts of Christmas Past by Patewick

Christmas sucks. When Emily Shepherd's boss boyfriend cheats on her with her best friend, she loses everything in one night-love, friendships, job, and home. In a weird fit of desperation (or some deep-rooted need to punish herself even more) she moves back to her hometown, a place that also holds some emotional trauma. The ghost of that experience still haunts her, but it's nothing compared to the actual ghosts haunting her. No one believes her, of course. So, two weeks before Christmas Emily has no boyfriend, no friends, no job, no money, and no prospects. But she does have two ghosts. And Leo. And suddenly, Christmas doesn't suck so much.
