Haunted Fields
Haunted Fields follows teenager Freddie Forster as he navigates the unexpected events in a very different summer break. Having planned to spend the holidays partying, Freddie is disappointed when his step-mum refuses to fund his lifestyle and he finds himself banished from the family home. He travels north, and comes across a farm on the outskirts of a secret rural community. Freddie soon learns that fear and rumours surround the village, and that there have been sightings of a ghost.
Freddie’s involvement in helping to save the struggling farm, as well as uncovering the truth about the haunted fields, gains him both friends and enemies. As he discovers more secrets about his own family as well as the village, Freddie has to fight to rise above the paranoia and lies.
Dan Moore has crafted a brilliant tale of a seventeen-year-old boy forced from his comfort zone into a community haunted by the secrets of its past. Haunted Fields is an examination of its characters’ of teenage angst, family secrets, hysteria. It also explores what happens when someone is confronted with the terrifying reality of seeing something, which they know can't possibly be real, with their own eyes.
Dan is a young writer from Lincolnshire who, having decided he should do something with his vivid imagination, began writing whilst studying at the University of Lincoln, aged nineteen. Dan would love to pursue a career in writing, and is in the process of planning his next project.

Ok, well, this is pretty much what happens when one doesn't read the description too closely. Turns out this is a YA book and I'm not a huge fan of those. However for what it was it was decent enough, a sort of mystery in the English farmland, family secrets, possible haunting, bunch of teen drama and a plot twist or two. Plus it was free. Suppose it'd be much more fun for the younger readers. Adults not so much.

I was soooo excited to read this. Who doesn't love some unforseen monster in a big field? Well, it was alright. If you're a teen it would be much better. There's less terrifying monster in the field and way more teenage drama. Some of the writing was a bit confusing, but I loved the jargon used as it went perfectly with the setting.

This story had some good elements, the descriptions of the rural community were very believable. Sadly eventually it was another ghost story without a real ghost where everything can be explained and nothing really supernatural happens. So that was disappointing.

He felt a terrific jolt, the machine shuddering, groaning. It felt like he’d driven over a speed bump
much too quickly. Despite the cloudless sky, the storm had begun, spraying the windscreen with a
fine red mist.
I was hooked after reading this! From the Prologue alone, I knew this was going to be a great story. Following the life of seventeen year old, Freddie Forster, as he spends his summer in the country was one adventure after another. Between the ghost haunting, the love interests, the whodunit mysteries, and learning my way around a farm (along with Freddie), I had trouble putting the story down. I hope there will be a second book. I would love to see what’s next for Freddie.
If you’re looking for a mystery adventure with a fun loving, witty guy, make sure to read this book!

A story with many layers ...
The summer doesn't go exactly as Freddie had in mind. Freddie is a teenager who can't seem to get his act together ... And things aren't looking better. But at least he should be safe and able to keep out of trouble on a farm. Right?!
