Holden and Peyton don't expect much from senior year. He probably won't manage to date any guys. She'll still pine over Juliette, the beautiful and unattainable cheerleader. But when they step between class bullies and Oliver, a super-hot transfer student, their year starts to go off the rails.

As a star football player, Oliver hadn't anticipated trouble. Turns out Pinedale High not only comes with bullies but with new friends, plus the ghost of a Civil War soldier and a shy naked guy in the library. Between the living and the dead, senior year is about to get interesting.

This was a very different kind of story, well, it would be considering it included a storyline about ghosts. I enjoyed this YA LGBT romance, I wasn't sure how the ghost storyline was going to play out but I thought it was done really well and seemed perfectly feasible the way it was done. The 6 main characters were all very different and all very likeable. There were a few times I felt I was getting a lecture about past and present issues, but that was ok, I agree with all that they talked about. I liked the inclusiveness that the author included in her characters. The narrator did a good job of bringing a voice to each of the characters and I liked that it was told from all points of view.

I always enjoy Gabbi Grey's novels, and I got such a kick out of Didn't See You Coming! I hope this is the first of many stories in The Haunting of Pinedale High universe.

Grey weaves a fun paranormal spin into this wonderful coming of age tale, it's so creative and charming.

The marvelous Michael Ferraiuolo delivers a masterful performance in the audio version of Didn't See You Coming. This artist's skill knows no end. How Ferraiuolo comes up with all these different voices and matches each one with the exact right character is amazing. Endlessly entertaining!

Endlessly Entertaining, Ferraiuolo is Amazing!

Although this story started a little slow for me (not really into teenage crushes and pining), it picked up quickly, especially with the introduction of the paranormal aspect. It's a story of growing up, being true to yourself, and helping others. There are also very real issues addressed like bullying, harassment, bigotry, homophobia, and discrimination. The serious topics share equal billing with humor, camaraderie, and friendship. The ghosts and their situation were very intriguing, and I wanted to know more about them, and the mysteriously, seemingly knowledgeable, janitor. This book is part of a multi-author series, so I don't know if my questions will be answered in future books. Regardless, this book is enjoyable as a standalone read/listen..

I always enjoy Michael Ferraiuolo's narration. His inflection and voice always suit the the characters and situations. He did a great job here.

I received a free copy of the audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Fun and intriguing story

I've read many books by this author, but this one is new because it's a young adult book. That was unusual, but not bad.
The writing style is, as always, wonderful and the story reads in a light and fluffy way. I liked the characters, especially I thought the chemistry between Holden and Payton was just great.
Besides the typical high school themes and what it means to be gay and stand by your beliefs, you'll find magic and a bit of the paranormal. The ghosts were pretty interesting. It was fun to witness the strong friendship between Holden and Peyton.
I enjoyed this audiobook read by Michael Ferraiuolo. He did a fantastic job as always, giving each character a distinct voice and it was a pleasure to listen to him bring the story to life!

A Nice YA

Gabbi Grey never ceases to amaze me with her wonderful writing style and it is great to see another side of her brilliant mind with this fascinating novel, a young adult paranormal romance, a unique ghost story that is original. The story starts with two characters, Holden and Peyton, two friends who are high school seniors, and the challenges they face and the friends they make, including their romantic interests and a friendly ghost or two. Gabbi Grey captured the essence of being a young adult in high school, and she incorporated the ghosts into the story naturally and made it seem real. Next up is Oliver, the new kid in town, who not only caught Holden’s attention, but the attention of the school bullies. But the feisty Peyton steps in to put a stop to their bullying, with Holden at her side. Peyton has a thing for Juliette, and it was nice to see those two come together. Last but not least are the two ghosts, and I loved how they appeared and came into the story and it was great to learn more about them, and there was a nice twist for one of them too. This wonderfully written and plotted multi-layered story is captivating from start to end and has the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and sweet romance. Gabbi Grey, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Michael Ferraiuolo did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who he was portraying. He covered the roles of all the characters, giving each their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who was who. Ferraiuolo is an incredible voice artist and his talent and versatility truly shined in this book while voicing both the male and female characters, young and old. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. Ferraiuolo is an entertaining storyteller and his performance elevates this already fabulous story to another level.

Impressive & Enchanting! Great Story & Narration🎧
