THIS is an example of why I love to read. I couldn't bear to put this book down. I was so into it that at one point my husband asked me why I was reading with my hand over my mouth. "That good, huh?" I didn't even realize I was positioned that way.

This book grabbed my attention on the first page, had my heart pounding by the second page and didn't let me go until the end.

So by now you're wondering what it's about, right? Well...paranormal activity. I now, sounds kinda out there, but trust me on this one, it is the perfect read. It not only entertains, but it makes you think.

The best part of all? It's written from a woman's perspective. By a man. And he NAILED it! I never knew it was written by a man until I googled the title for an image to add to the review. WOW!

From the back cover:

Ghost Town is the hottest amusement park in the country, but when Maia Peters visits, she’s not expecting to be impressed. The daughter of two world-renowned “ghost hunters,” she’s grown up around the paranormal and to her most of the park is just Hollywood special effects. Until the very last attraction.

There, in a haunted house, a face appears from the mist. The face of Jordin Cole, a girl Maia knows. A girl, Maia discovers, who has gone missing.

Convinced what she saw wasn’t a hoax and desperate to find Jordin, Maia launches into a quest for answers. Joined by Jordin’s boyfriend–a pastor’s kid with very different ideas about the paranormal–the two soon find themselves in a struggle on the edge of the spirit realm as dangerous forces try to keep the truth from emerging.

Now, for a mystery of my own. I'm not exactly sure how I came to receive this title. I can't find it in any of my emails. The package was shipped "media mail" and was "subject to inspection" (as all media mail is) and was in fact inspected & repackaged by the USPS. I've never had that happen before! No notes in the book from an author or publisher. No return address.

I'm not sure who to thank for sending it! Published by Bethany House so I'll assume it's from them and mention that they sent it for review purposes only.
