I was completely drawn in by the gorgeous artwork and the promise of a haunted house.

I really appreciated how each character there was given some depth even in the short time of this story. And each character has such a unique style.

I will admit that Daphne’s character really irritated me in the beginning, but the beginnings of growth showed in this story make me really interested in following more of this series.

I consume a decent number of graphic novels, but this one wasn't my cup of tea. I do think the art was beautifully done.

- this review is several years late past the book's release (due to the many issues of 2020). But thanks a million to the publishers and netgalley for an early copy of this book.

The cover already drew my attention to the graphic novel and I was not disappointed whilst reading it! I loved the artwork and I could look at it all day. The story is very interesting as well and I enjoyed the cast of characters a lot!

I wanted to like this, but it just was not for me. I was really bored and meh, sadly. The premise was interesting, but it did not work out.

Really funny,full of hilarious moments ! Also I never decline on some ghost story placed on LA. it was my first graphic novel so I was kind of disappointed by how fast I've read it 🤭 I wish I could have read it more slowly !

I liked the humor in a comic with ghost. It’s definitely nothing I have read before.
Sorry for the late review

Loved, loved, loved this! Would strongly recommend to those who are wanting to start the series. A wonderful and moving story of learning to make new friends that I think many would love.

Fanastic new and interesting. There is so much about this story that I cannot wait to more fully understand. The art was beautiful and the main characters were likable.

I love the art and there are some great things discussed but overall the whole premise and characters really fell flat for me.

This is definitely one of my favorite graphic novels! The artistry was amazing and the storyline was so good! I was laughing so much while reading this and I’m dying that it ended on such a cliffhanger. I need to know more about what happens with Daphne and her ghosts!

Thank you so much to Boom Box and NetGalley for the complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

Okay, if I'm being honest, when I first finished reading this one, I didn't think that it was going to be my next favourite read. But, after a few days of letting it sit, I found that I couldn't stop thinking of it. I loved that we were immediately thrust into a place where we have a bunch of ghosts, which we have yet to know more about, become invested in Daphne's life.

This was so fun!! I really enjoyed the artwork. I'm also a sucker for friendly paranormal stories like this. Definitely will want to continue!

This comic has great characters, and the setting of Rycroft Manor is so atmospheric. I can't wait to find out more about the ghosts and what happens to them and to the (living) main character.

the graphics in this novel were amazing. I can not wait for the next installment of this series. The beginning of the story I was not happy about because no girl should follow a boy/girl to college. The girl learns some lessons and finds a house full of ghosts. These ghosts are happy to have a person living there so they can learn about the world today. Well not everyone is happy have a flesh and blood person around. I give this novel 4-stars. Thanks Boom Studios and Netgally for the advance reader copy.

I don't think Sina Grace is for me. I've read a bunch of his stuff now because it sounds good, but the finished product doesn't deliver. <i>Ghosted in L.A.</i> is about a young woman that travel across the country to go to the same college as her high school crush. She gets dumped and has to try to figure out living in a strange city with no family or friends. Then she stumbles across a haunted house.

The ghosts really are the best part of this book. They have personality and are distinguishable from each other in appearance, attitude, and even the times they lived. Daphne, the protagonist, is kind of forgettable though. Sure she is at the center of everything we see. That isn't enough to carry the story. I'm a little torn on the art too. It isn't bad by any means. There certainly aren't some of the glaring body defects that can be found in other books. On the other hand, it seemed kind of bland, especially when the ghosts weren't involved.

Fans of Grace should totally pick this up. I think anyone that likes his writing style will enjoy this immensely. I won't be continuing this series though.
