Harper Raine is suffering through a long period of memory loss and a move from bustling New York to suburban Washington DC. The house that her family has moved into has a reputation for being haunted and several families have lived there - some leaving after a family tragedy. Harper is not concerned until her brother, Michael, tells her about his new friend, Billy, that she can't see and the inexplicable change in her sibling's behavior. As Harper starts to recover her memories, she realizes that she spent some time in a mental institution and begins to doubt whether the things she sees are real.
Spirit Hunters is a very fast paced MG haunted house story. Much of what happens in the story has been strongly foreshadowed, but there are a couple of twists that make the book more enjoyable. The dynamics of the family, including the conflict between Harper's mother and grandmother, add a layer of depth to a fairly simple story. Overall, Spirit Hunters is not unique, but it is well written and is a quick, satisfying read.
Love it!
Amazing book! loved it. great suspense and amazing storyline. cant wait to read the next book.
I loved this book! The characters were fantastic, there's plenty of suspense and a slow build of dread, and it felt like the story had real stakes. I also liked all the details about food (yum!) and the wide range of spirits. I read it while home alone on a rainy night, and I was jumpy the whole rest of the evening after I finished.
