Teen Read Week Book 2 and author Chat

Now that Kendall's gone through her awakening and saved her father from a ghost, she and her friends have been working all over town. Not everyone is happy about Kendall's newfound abilities. First, her mother still doesn't believe her daughter's a psychic, and she's made Kendall promise to be tested. Kendall and her mom travel to Atlanta to meet with an open-minded doctor. They talk about her awakening and finally run mental and medical tests. Courtney, the queen bee at school, hates all the attention people are giving Kendall. Plus, she hates that Kendall is dating her ex-boyfriend. She comes up with a plan to shift the attention back on to herself: she fakes her own awakening. However, Courtney doesn't understand the rules and she's playing a very dangerous game. When a seance turns into something more, Kendall knows she has to step in and save Courtney if she can. The ghost oppressing Courtney is more vicious than any spirit she's ever encountered. She's not sure if she's strong enough to handle him.

The second book in the once trilogy, but now at least five book GHOST HUNTRESS series, picks up a couple of months after the first book, THE AWAKENING, ends. It continues the fun, danger, and romance of ghost hunting. The ending left me with goosebumps and I can't wait to devour the next book in the series.


This book is a bit different - being a nonfiction How-to manual for ghost hunting. It's a fun read and touches on a number of points

* you can't scientifically prove that ghosts exisit
* a quick history of ghost hunting
* You don't make money by becoming a ghost hunter
*explains the different types of apparitions
* Dos and Don't of actually hunting ghosts - a great list
* What types of abnormalities you might encounter (draining of batteries, cold spots, etc...)
*Equipment to use
* EVPs (Electronic voice phenomena - voices not heard aloud in normal conversation, but in a playback situation.)
* Different types of psychic abilities - and how to test one.
* Reviewing your evidence
* How to put your own team together (Like Kendall)
* Plus some places to start investigating.
