Bret Thornton sees what must be the ghost of Yvette Pelletier near a deserted construction site and she tells him to warn “her.” Bret has no idea who the “her” could be and then he meets Emilienne “Millie” Pelletier, Yvette’s twin sister. Millie must be who Yvette wants Bret to warn but how and about what? Millie tells Bret that Yvette is missing and she is worried. Yvette always calls regularly and the police are treating it like she just took off on vacation or something. Bret doesn’t know what to think but if what he saw was Yvette’s ghost, it can’t be good and Millie is probably in danger too. Can Bret and Millie find out what happened to Yvette and stop it from happening to someone else?

Ghost of a Chance by Dee Lloyd is a fascinating tale of betrayal, murder, ghosts, and love. The main characters Bret and Millie are both twins, both extremely stubborn and bossy, and both determined to have their way. Throughout the story, these two are very attracted to one another but continue to push away from a relationship only to come back together when danger threatens one of them. Ms. Lloyd leads the reader on a merry chase trying to find who is endangering Bret and Millie and what happened to Yvette. I enjoyed this tale and would love to read another story about some of the supporting characters. I would like to know what happens to Bart, Bret’s twin, Kit, their cousin, or aunt Flo. Each of them were entertaining secondary characters that would make great main characters.
