Summary of Ghost Trippin' (A Viola Valentine Mystery) by Cherie Claire

Dive into the whimsical world of 'Ghost Trippin' as Viola Valentine uncovers ghostly secrets and a hint of romance in New Orleans!

Welcome to a world where ghostly shenanigans and the mystery genre collide like two clumsy spirits at a Halloween party! Ghost Trippin' introduces us to Viola Valentine, a woman who's not just tripping over her own feet, but also over literal ghosts. Who knew that death had so many unresolved issues?

First off, let's paint a picture of our heroine. Viola is an accomplished woman, who has somehow managed to get herself tangled up in a web of paranormal activity. If I had a dime for every time she tried to ignore her supernatural encounters, I could fund her ghost-busting adventures myself. But no, while she would love to just have a nice cup of coffee and scroll through social media, the spirits aren't having it!

Our story kicks off with Viola arriving in New Orleans - a place famous for its jazz, beignets, and obviously, a massive population of resident spirits who refuse to move on. Seriously, it's like a ghost retirement home! Viola's goal? To scoop up some much-needed relaxation. But with her ghostly radar fully operational, it takes about three seconds before she's knee-deep in poltergeist drama.

Now, don't get too comfortable. The plot thickens quicker than a bowl of gumbo. Enter a mysterious figure with an alluring backstory (because what's a mystery without some eye candy?), and suddenly Viola finds herself not just dealing with mischievous specters but also a tantalizing romantic subplot. Because, of course, what's better than dodging vengeful spirits? Doing it while managing your love life!

Spoiler alert: the ghosts in this book are not satisfied with just going boo! They have stories, and surprisingly, they want to chat. Viola must unravel these tales to uncover a sinister plot that intertwines the ghost world with the living. Along the way, expect humor, a few heartwarming moments, and enough eerie situations to make your hair stand on end. Don't worry, it's all in good fun-unless your hair is already ghostly white!

As Viola navigates this tangled web of paranormal experiences, she learns that her connections to the spirit world may not just be a headache but could also lead her to discover truths about her own life. Talk about a family reunion gone wrong!

In a nutshell, Ghost Trippin' is a delightful mix of mystery, humor, and the spooky vibes of New Orleans. Who knew that ghosts could provide so much drama and comedic relief at the same time? So, if you're looking for a read that's about as light-hearted as a feather floating on a ghostly breeze, grab this book. Just be sure to keep your coffee close-who knows what the spirits might have to say while you're minding your business!

So, buckle up, light some sage, and prepare for some seriously spooky adventures with Viola Valentine. Just remember: when life gets too haunted, just keep trippin'!
