What people are saying about GHOST HUNTRESS:  THE AWAKENING

“The first GHOST HUNTRESS book was a ton of fun. As someone who watches some of the ghost hunting shows on TV, it was great to see a book that deals with the same (and makes it easy for everyone to understand). I love books that are a series because it’s often hard to let characters go, but I also know that it’s hard to keep up with them and you might only read the first one. However, when it comes to this new batch of books, I’m most definitely going to read the next one. I have to know more and I’m sure others will feel the same!” Four stars.

“In this series starter, it’s fun to watch Kendall adapt from city living to her new suburban life. The Awakening is a YA romp made even more fun because of Kendall’s determination to get to the bottom of the ghostly mysteries in her new town. Older readers may find the story’s action a bit tame due to amount of adult supervision in the story. But, despite Kendall’s network of caring adults, they never mange to keep her entirely out of paranormal trouble!”  Four RT stars.

“Kendall’s witty narrative voice (she quotes Shakespeare and Ugly Betty with equal aplomb) drives this fast-paced, wholesome-with-an-edge tale. Several unsolved mysteries will leave readers eager for the next installment.”

Publishers Weekly

“It’s obvious that Gibson knows what she is talking about when it comes to investigating things that go bump in the night. It was really neat to see the technical aspect of everything, even though I may not have understood half of what was going on!”  Four stars.

What people are saying about GHOST HUNTRESS: THE GUIDANCE

“[THE GUIDANCE] 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.” Five stars.

“The Ghost Huntress series picks up steam with this fun installment that looks at the way that girls’ rivalry can reach unhealthy heights. Courtney and Kendall’s feud (and escalating pettiness) is almost completely based on the fact that Kendall is now dating Courtney’s ex-boyfriend. Gibson layers this teen-on-teen plot focus with a look at the many different relationships teens can have with the adults in their lives. Particularly poignant are the interactions between Kendall and her mother, whose relationship is still seriously strained because her mother is unhappy with Kendall’s ghost hunting.”  Four stars.

What people are saying about GHOST HUNTRESS: THE REASON

“The third installment in the GHOST HUNTRESS series kept me just as hooked as the first two books. I am so excited to see what Kendall will find in the next book!” – Five stars.

“Another winner from Gibson! The author steps up her game as she polishes Kendall’s voice. And readers will be thrilled that Gibson finally delves into the mystery surrounding Emily, Kendall’s ghostly guide! Gibson also further develops Kendall’s relationship with Jason, illustrating the way that teen relationships are sometimes a mixture of the good and the bad moments – but that they should never become fodder for obsessive behavior. While this installment of the series includes a strong message that Kendall is “doing God’s will” by helping these souls, her spiritual guide is focused on helping Kendall do good, something we can all relate to.” – Five and a half stars. *Web Exclusive Review* Reviewed By: Whitney Kate Sullivan www.rtbookreviews.com
