This is a 'cozy' mystery, suitable for teen thru adult. No explicit language, horror or gore.
And the ghost is a character, not a fantasy. Ths is an old-fashioned ghost story with the twist and turns in plot of a cozy mystery.

The Victorian mansion on the my book's cover is real. Visit it online at www.MoreyMansion.com
Look for the yellow bedroom...that is Shannon Delaney's room when she is at "Blackthorne House."

Many blessings, Gia, and thank you for the invitation!

3. Elizabeth Eagan-Cox layers the bricks of historically factual elements with the mortar of an ever-twisting paranormal mystery in her imaginative new novel, 'A Ghost Of A Chance'. Best read by anyone curled up in an over-sized armchair, feeling the warm glow of a wood-burning fireplace upon your skin, while simply hearing nothing more than the ticking of a clock upon it's mantle; you'll be transformed as soon as the "magnificently preserved wood chest" reveals its enchanting secrets starting in Chapter One. From there you can 'Follow your heart', and let this fascinating tale flow through you...

Review at www.MyShelf.com by Sandie Vega

I found A Ghost of a Chance, by Elizabeth Eagan Cox, to be both refreshing and energizing. From my point of view, the tale told made me feel as though I was part of the investigation team and I truly enjoyed every word.

Shannon Delaney has come to San Diego California to develop a brochure for the Blackthorne House Mansion. The mansion is being converted into a bed and breakfast, and Sister Rosario has hired Shannon to provide the history behind the mansion and the family that owns it.
Sister Rosario and Shannon go way back, so when this opportunity came up, Sister Rosario knew just who to contact.

From the moment that Shannon arrives at the mansion, strange things begin to happen. By total coincidence, Shannon meets Alex Blackthorne, the great-grandson of the original owner, Eric Blackthorne. Shannon and Alex have an immediate attraction to one another, and Shannon soon discovers that Alex has important information about his ancestors that will assist her with her research. Besides, Alex is not hard to look at, has a great sense of humor, and she enjoys spending time with him. Shannon is very wary of her instant attraction to Alex. Remember that old saying: burned once, twice shy. She has been there and done that and learned from her mistake.

Another key character of this story is Inspector Francisco. He is an investigator and is also a relative of the first and only owners of the mansion. Shannon gets lost trying to find Sister Rosario’s church and ends up at an old country church. She decides to go in to hear the service that is about to begin. After the service, everyone gets together in the garden for refreshments, so she decides to stay and enjoy them. Across the garden, she sees a very handsome man and he notices her as well. Over walks Zach, the grandson of Inspector Francisco. What will be discovered on the ranch land that Francisco's family owns, and how does it all tie into the mystery of the Blackthorne’s?

The characters together come to a conclusion about the mystery.. Eric Blackthorne and his lovely wife, Olivia, were murdered way back when, and the investigators have an inkling as to who did it. But the evidence needs to be weighed out and chronologically cataloged for anything to make sense. The four main characters of this book each have an important role in the discovery of what happened to Eric and Olivia, when it happened, and by whom.

This is a very fast paced eBook worth downloading and reading. I can't wait for the next eBook in the series to come out early 2009! Thanks again Ms Cox for giving me the opportunity to review this wonderful book!

Shannon Delaney has been hired to write a brochure for the Blackthorne House Bed and Breakfast. She is impressed with the mansion but feels it might be haunted. After seeing ghosts, she wonders are they real, or only in her dreams?
Zach Zavala is in the architectural restoration business. He is also a detective, curious about the history of Blackthorn Mansion. When Shannon and Alex inform him about their investigation, he eagerly joins in the search.

Shannon is glad to be greeted by her favorite nun, Sister Rosario Santiago, at Blackthorn Mansion. After Rosario begins telling her the history of the house, Shannon had no idea, a deceased magician, a chest, and a journal would open up a Pandora box syndrome. Shannon feels it is haunted. Eric Blackthorn was a magician that just vanished, which sparks interest in Shannon. She meets Alex Blackthorne, a direct relative to Eric, and they become cozy while researching the mystery within the house. While compiling the brochure and exploring the house, she meets Zach, who is eager to be part of the team. As the past and present unfold, Shannon must face a bigger decision; go with Alex or Zach.

A Ghost of a Chance is an engaging read. There are many paranormal events that keep the story moving at a good pace. Elizabeth Eagan-Cox pens a tale with two handsome men eager to help Shannon in any way. I love Sister Rosario’s character and how she helps to make the story enjoyable. Ms. Eagan-Cox has done great research in the making of this book. She incorporates different elements to help make it more believable. I like the way she does the ghost-like effects, of the past and the present. With a well-rounded cast, the story captivates the audience and keeps them guessing.
