Field of Screams

I am SHOOKETH that this is the authors debut novel. I am also greatly saddened, lol, b/c it means I will have to wait quite awhile for her next one. I genuinely LOVED this book. If you read “Wait till Helen Comes” by Hahn as a kid (if you haven’t, do so immediately), it has that same incredible vibe. Spooky enough to,leave your on the edge of your seat, but not so much that a kid will be so scared they will have nightmares. It’s just right. The characters are well-balanced and work well together to bring the story to life. Even mean girl Kelsie ends up being likeable as you learn her background story. And it’s not just a spooky story, it’s a mystery as well. Who is this ghost and what do they want? Is Rebecca in danger by show more seeking out the mystery behind her uncle’s farm or is she in fact helping the ghost find peace? You honestly won’t know until the very end and you will be quite surprised how it ends. It all ties up very nicely and im looking forward to more books by this author. show less

This began a bit slowly for me, but the deeper I got, the more complex and compelling it became. In sum, a very nice story about the supernatural, letting go and friendship.
