Ghosts on Tour: Wylie Westerhouse Book 1 Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 109 ratings

A singer. A girl who talks to the dead. Thrown together in the American south, what could possibly go wrong?

Wylie was this close to being "America's Brand New Voice." When his manager broke the law and fled the country with Wylie's girlfriend, his one chance at success spiraled down the drain. Nowadays, managing a music store pays the bills while Wylie plays the clubs in Branson, Missouri. A new friendship, however, could change everything…

Holly can see ghosts. Ever since her family moved into a Scottish castle, she's been able to communicate with the dead. When a flood kills local tourism and forces Holly and her uncle to sell the castle, she follows the castle's ghostly inhabitants… all the way to Branson.

After Holly shares her "gift" with Wylie, the magic girl and the musician must team up to save the castle from a group of Branson ghosts out for much more than blood.

Wylie Westerhouse: Ghosts on Tour is the first book in a series of supernatural new adult novels. If you like dark ghost tales with more than a touch of humor and the Sookie Stackhouse books, then you'll love Nathan Roden's mysterious and entertaining campfire tale.

Nathan Roden packed supernatural, humor, and a bit of mystery in his novel Ghosts on Tour: Wylie Westerhouse Book 1. Wylie Westerhouse begins singing as a type of therapy when his brother dies. The Country & Western songs, especially Hank Williams, expressed the way he felt. This became a career of singing. But after his girlfriend and manager ran away together, Wylie ends up singing in small places, plus he supplemented his income working in a music store. Wylie looses both his jobs so he decides it is time to leave the state of Missouri and go back to Boston. On the same day Wylie goes to board his plane Holly gets off her plane and almost gets her thrown in jail. Wylie helps Holly which keeps him in Missouri.
Holly came to America to be with the castle that was shipped over and to go to a university. But her secrets can’t stay hidden and Wylie must prove himself worthy of her trust. My favorite part of the book is when the little ghost responds to Holly’s question, “Are you going to bite me?” And she replies, “Why, do you taste good?” Excellent story!

This book ends in a cliffhanger, but could be read as a stand alone if the last couple of pages are ignored. There is one follow up book available at this writing. There are no sexual situations or cursing. This book is recommended for teens and older.

Wylie is a talented singer who almost made it on a reality show for performers when the lawyer he'd hired to handle financial matters ran off after being caught trying to fix the results. Thrown off the show and deeply in debt, he works two jobs: one as the manager of a hole-in-the-wall bookstore, and one as the lead singer with his own band, playing in local bars. His friend, eccentric millionaire Q, buys and imports a 700 year old Scottish castle, reassembling it on prime property. The former tour guide of the castle, Holly, appears and Wylie is smitten. Wylie and Q don't know Holly hasn't come to take care of the castle as much as for her friendship with the 500 year old family who lives there.

This young adult novel has everything needed for a typical story of the genre: a musician wronged and reduced to working a low wage job, a millionaire friend who enjoys spending his money on people and things he likes, a spooky castle, ghosts, a bully and a love interest. There's even a small dog for the Scoobie Do fans. There's mild angst, a boy -meets -girl, boy-gets-kicked, boy-and-girl-get-together, a sub plot bully and the bully's insensitive father, and the threat he might have to move back home.

Fortunately, the story rises above the level of a cartoon.

Wylie is a likeable character. As a young adult, we are spared the anxiety-ridden coming of age story that represents so many books in this genre. We know things will work out, but enjoy the process of getting there. Instead of cruel high schoolers we get Wylie's collection of weird but fun friends. He's too nice of a guy to stay down long.

Q plays his character of eccentric millionaire cheerfully. He handles most problems by throwing money at them, but never in a mean or superior way. He particularly enjoys the James Bond movies and uses his money to indulge himself by buying cars related to the movies.

Much of the humor is provided by Holly's lack of knowledge of American idioms and television references, and the father ghost's lack of understanding about nearly every thing in America except Baywatch. The humor doesn't devolve into crude reference or innuendo, but doesn't really rise above sober bar jokes.

The characters are drawn lightly; no deep anguish or soaring heights. The story itself is shallow, light and predictable, but a quick and easy read.

This book is the perfect example that you can write horror stories while still being funny at times without losing the suspense and thrill of the plot. The first instalment of the Wylie Westerhouse saga, 'Ghosts on Tour', was really enjoyable to read, it delivers a fun, easy to follow adventure that makes you lose the sense of time because its so entertaining you won't even notice the few hour it takes to read it passing by.

The story moves around music, friendship, and spooky ghosts in a castle. It may appear as a weird combination at first but then it gets going and you realize it's one of the better ideas Roden could have come up with for the first adventure of Wylie Westerhouse. The characters are likeable even if not very developed, and the plot is really entertaining and fast moving.

It was a very good book all in all, full of mystery and suspense, and sprinkled with a perfect amount of dark humor. I'll be reading the rest of the series for sure!

I loved this story. The characters were brought to life by this author. I love books that draw you in so that you don't feel like you are reading it but that you are truly there and living it and seeing things unfold as the characters see it. This is one of those books.

Not my type of story. I must have missed where it said the book was for young adults. Overall the book was well written but there where entirely to many characters constantly brought into the story. After a few pages, I gave up trying to remember who was who.

The castle is haunted, and Holly that lives there with her father can be in touch with the ghosts. She met Wylie, who is the main character in this novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars A humorous tale of the supernatural
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 2, 2016
I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this story to all readers.

Unlike the usual supernatural novel, this one is in no way scary. Nathan Roden has spun a merry yarn around an old haunted Scottish castle, which is transported across the Atlantic to Branson Missouri.

The story flows well and Nathan has created thoroughly believable characters. The reader can really identify with the main characters Wylie Westerhouse, (the singer with a heart of gold) and Hollie McFadden (the former occupant of the Scottish castle, who is also a medium). Their developing love story is compelling and runs through the developing supernatural core.

The whole narrative has an underlying humour, which makes this a book that you do not want to put down.

There are a few minor background issues, which do not distract from the story but Mr Roden should have been a little more careful with his research. In the sixteenth century, when the ghostly former inhabitants met their demise, they could not have been at War with Britain, as that country would not be founded until the future and the author is probably referring to Scotland's neighbour England, which was a separate kingdom. Also gophers, racoons and skunks are native to North America and not Scotland. There is an unexpected twist at the end of the story, which will lead to the sequel.
