Synopsis

A cheerleader with a reputation. A ghost who wants justice. Two lives bound together until the killer is found. 

Sonora’s popularity means more to her than a new Michael Kors purse. With Fall Fling around the corner, she’s on the lookout for the perfect gown in the small Texas town. But a ghost has different plans.

When her best friend’s body floats ashore Brushy Creek, Sonora is haunted by the corpse-like spirit. The incessant ghost refuses to leave Sonora alone. She must risk death and sanity to find her friend’s killer. If Sonora isn’t careful, she’ll be the next victim.

Girl Gone Ghost is a standalone novel. If you like gripping suspense, sizzling chemistry, and dark secrets, then you’ll love Dawn Husted’s mystery, thriller romance.

*Perfect for fans of We Were Liars, Pretty Little Liars, and The Sixth Sense.

Review

Whoa….I was not expecting the path the book leads us down. It may be YA, but it is creepy and suspenseful all at the same time. I could not put this book down because I had to know how it was going to turn out.

At first, I thought Sonora was going to be an amateur sleuth like the cozies that I read. While she is trying to figure out what happened to her friend Magnolia, the truth will blow you away.

At times I felt for Sonora and what she was going through, but at other times she was rather tiresome. But that is what really plays up the storyline, her actions with her friends and trying to unravel the mystery. Of course, she has a good incentive, Magnolia’s ghost is haunting her and it isn’t pretty.

Sonora’s parents, especially her mom, hover a bit over her. We find out she has seen a therapist in the recent past but really don’t know why. Her mom gives her a vitamin – but I wonder if it isn’t some sort of prescribed drug. I won’t say more because you will understand as the story unfolds especially at the end.

If you like YA, suspense, paranormal, and thrillers, you might want to check this book out!
