REVIEW:

After reading the first one in the series, I was much too fascinated to stop reading the second one. This one just took me a couple of days to read through.

This book is about a simple guy called Norton who gets acquainted with a ghost called Gawain. Gawain wants Norton to sire his heir by getting ‘acquainted’ with his wife, Orlene. However, Fate has other plans, and he is hit by conscience which does not permit him to do it. He falls in love with Orlene and Orlene feels the same for him. Together they do sire the heir, but due to Gawain’s intervention, his son dies of a hereditary disease.
