The Haunting of Sunshine Girl (The Haunting of Sunshine Girl #1)
If there is something, or someone, haunting her house, what do they want? And what will they do if Sunshine can't help them?
As things become more frightening and dangerous, and the giggles she hears turn to sobs and screams, Sunshine has no choice but to accept what she is, face the test before her and save her mother from a fate worse than death.
The first in a frighteningly good new series based on the popular YouTube sensation The Haunting of Sunshine Girl Network, created by Paige McKenzie.
Rating: 2.75 "Creeptastic" (quote from the book) StarsReview: to come--in short, NOT really scary, and the twists and turns became too involved, and at that point, I became a casual observer, rather than a participant, in this "horror story".
I wanted to like this book but I didn't. It seemed very forced and parts were too silly to be believable. I had DNFed it in the past, and I'm thinking it should have stayed that way. Basic writing bores me. The character development and plot were ok but overall the book lacks passion.
This review appears on Happy Indulgence. Check it out for more reviews!The Haunting of Sunshine Girl is what I would call a fluffy horror book. Aimed at younger readers, it would be the perfect balance of horror and humour.I love creepy books that will scare me, and while I didnt find this one to be particularly creepy, there were a few moments that surprised me, with paranormal twists that I didnt expect. Going into Sunshine Girl, I knew it was going to be about a girl at a haunted house, but
I have to thank Weinstein Books and Perseus Books for sending me an ARC of this title. I didn't know anything about the YouTube Channel before I found out about this book. I've always enjoyed a good ghost story, and when I was younger, I used to go to the library and check out all the "true haunting" books. About 10 years ago I even went to a couple "real" haunted houses with my younger cousin and aunt and my mom. One was a Bed and Breakfast, called the Mason House Inn that is located in
www.melissa413readsalot.blogspot.comThat was a creepy little ghost story. I liked it a lot. Sunshine and her mother move from Texas to Washington so that Sunshine's mom (Kat) can work at a better position in the town's hospital. I loved how the author described them first coming to the house, how all of the houses were so quiet and no one in the yards, no kids. Then they get to the house and Sunshine had a weird feeling about it. All of that pulled me right in. Sunshine starts school not long

I expected a mild paranormal, but what I ended up with was a quite creepy storyline that freaked me out on quite a few occasions. I hadn't heard of the YouTube phenomenon surrounding this book, nor have I seen the online clips but in no way did it hamper my reading experience and I really enjoyed it. Sunshine is adopted, just turned sixteen and moving across the country to what is

Commentary To Books The Haunting of Sunshine Girl (The Haunting of Sunshine Girl #1)
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 mom believes her. Sunshine's always had a quirky affiliation with the past, but this time, history is getting much too close for comfort...If there is something, or someone, haunting her house, what do they want? And what will they do if Sunshine can't help them?
As things become more frightening and dangerous, and the giggles she hears turn to sobs and screams, Sunshine has no choice but to accept what she is, face the test before her and save her mother from a fate worse than death.

I love a well done ghost/haunted house story, don't you?Some books are just sheer brilliant entertainment, where you are truly in a world of pleasure as the book absorbs you into it's imaginary world. This was one of those books for me and I really did enjoy it a lot. I read it really quickly, with a need to know what happens next. The author, Paige McKenzie has a very popular YouTube channel centered around the Haunting of the Sunshine Girl. I have never seen it, in fact had not heard of it butRating: 2.75 "Creeptastic" (quote from the book) StarsReview: to come--in short, NOT really scary, and the twists and turns became too involved, and at that point, I became a casual observer, rather than a participant, in this "horror story".
