Whitcomb, Laura

YA
This companion novel to A Certain Slant of Light examines Jenny and Billy's relationship--both the ethereal and the corporeal. As the two struggle to make sense of their lives after spirits Helen and James borrowed their bodies, Helen complicates things by trying to reconnect with Jenny. Whitcomb's ghostly love story reworks the first book's themes, but fans may welcome this second visitation.

YA
Calder is a Fetch, a spirit sent to escort dying souls to the afterlife. When he becomes fixated on a mortal woman, he breaks the rules, takes up a body, and finds himself in the midst of the Russian Revolution. Hampered by a detached narrative voice, the story doesn't fully deliver on its intriguing premise.
