Ghost, Interrupted by Sonia Singh

An amateur ghost-hunting team takes on a professional-grade haunting in this pale paranormal novel by the author of Bollywood Confidential and Goddess for Hire. Former stockbroker Scott Wilder recruits Indian-American psychic Anjali Kumar for his San Francisco ghost-hunting firm, the Cold Spot. Soon, the pair picks up the telekinetic drifter Coulter Marshall, whose golden-boy looks get more ink than his talents. The trio lands jobs removing spirits from expensive homes, but Singh's ghosts aren't scary in the least; they're just a pretext for the heroes to zip around the Bay Area and for Scott's ex-girlfriend, parapsychologist Vivica Bates, to re-enter the picture with her own paranormal investigation team. By the time the teams go head-to-head at a military base to impress the Department of Defense by exorcising the spirit of a tortured soldier, the mission is less important than the goofy antics that ensue.

I've read many reviews about this book and her others and was intrigued to try it out.  I enjoy a good chick lit kind of supernatural book.  And this fit the bill.  I liked how the main character was from India and how they main characters interacted and had interesting storylines.  I'll be interested to see if she writes more in this style and try her other books out.  2nd Kindle book so far.  I have to say it makes reading fast for me!
