This book was terrible. Absolutely terrible. It amazes me that it got published as is. And I loved every moment of it. I feel the need to state a potential bias: I am in my early twenties. So it is entirely possible that this is one of those rare YA books where you have to be the target age to en...
Something freaky's going on with Sunshine's new house . . . there's the chill that wraps itself around her bones, the giggling she can hear in the dead of night, and then the strange shadows that lurk in her photographs. But the more weird stuff that happens, the less her mum believes her. Sunshine'...
Getting into this book I didn't think I would like it. I haven't read a lot of paranormal books, so I thought it would be boring. I also am very picky on the way books are written. Unlike a lot of readers, I prefer books written simply. I don't like books that are so detailed that it becomes a parag...
I went into this book blindly, I knew nothing of the YouTube videos surrounding this book, I picked it up based solely on its cover and the inside narrative and I am glad that I did. Will I check out the YouTube videos now, probably not, why spoil a good thing? The novel didn’t waste any time as thi...
3.5 A fun book that comes with some you tube videos that I kind of fell into, knowing nothing about the videos nor the story. Can see the YA group eating these paranormal stories up, watching the corresponding videos. Interesting storylines, with some interesting characters trying to find their nich...
I received this book from Netgalley/publishers in exchange for an honest review.Wow, wow, wow this book was great!

A solid read. I enjoyed McKenzie's take on the haunted house convention. A few things that kept this book from getting a higher rating were that I wish Sunshine had been a bit more proactive. And I felt they story fought the mythology of mentorship with the mentor's distance/lack of involvement. It ...
***Thank you Weinstein Books and Netgalley for providing this in exchange for an honest review** I have never seen the YouTube channel this is based on, so I have no clue how it compares. As a book, this was a really fun story. Sunshine and her mother, Katherine, have just moved half way across ...
I finished this book a week ago, and have been trying this entire time to figure out exactly what to say about it. As I start to write this review, I realize that is the entire issue: this book made me feel nothing. I did not feel connected to any of the characters, the plot was not engaging. The fa...
Initial reaction: I can't type all my reaction to this via tablet, but I wish this had been better. It had good ideas, even had moments of compelling writing. But the cliches and ending ruined this for me.Full review:Alyssa B. Sheinmel's "Second Star" is one of those books that have the "great premi...
