Spooky Spirits
It started forty years ago with the brutal murder of a teenage girl. Now a whole flock of sheep has been mysteriously torn to pieces and strange ghostly happenings are on the increase in the sleepy seaside town of Hal’s Cove.
Seventeen-year-old Jeannie Rowlands soon finds herself right in the middle of a story that spans not only decades but other dimensions, and will end in a violent struggle for our very future on the shores of Hal’s Cove’s loneliest, most windswept beach.
Following a strange encounter when out celebrating her birthday, Jeannie’s once perfect boyfriend becomes distant and violent. And, to make things worse, she starts seeing and hearing ghostly apparitions on nearby North Shore Beach. As one part of her life falls apart, however, Jeannie finds herself offered an extremely well-paid job at a beach café and with a boss she hardly sees. She soon forms a kind of friendship with her most regular customer, an intriguing dark-haired boy she knows as Phay’n, who doesn’t speak a word of English and flees every time her boss returns.
With more ghostly happenings and violent incidents occurring every day, Jeannie soon starts to realise that all of these various elements are connected and that their story is one of epic love and tragedy that will involve the fate of entire races of people... including our own.

Interesting and dark book
This was a very interesting book with an interesting storyline. Very Stephen King like in story and story telling. A lot of spooky and deranged things that happen to this town as well as its people.

Part alien takeover, part ghost story, and part teen romance, Ghosts of the North Shore is a strange mash up of genres that somehow manage to work.
Odd things are happening in the small beach town of Hal’s Cove—sheep are being slaughtered, people are going missing, cell phones calls are dangerous, and only Jeannie Rowland and her best friend Dex seem to notice that something is amiss.
“Ghosts of the North Shore” is funny and inventive and I couldn’t help but read it in one sitting. The characters are great (even the alien characters are good) and the book is plotted in a way that keeps you guessing but doesn’t frustrate you by dragging things out for too long.
This is a fun read, and fans of ghost stories, aliens, or the supernatural should all find something to enjoy in this book.

Magical in a way.
This was not what I thought it was going to be and I throughly enjoyed it. Not your typical ghost book but an interesting story that takes place in Astoria,OR. While reading this I kept thinking of The Goonies.

Undercurrent of tension and anxiety that builds to a good, unexpected ending.
