This book is fantastic unimaginable fantasy. At my old age, plots for young adults uasually don't hold my interest like this one. It is a rivoting page turner. I couldn't read fast enough. ( )

Disclaimer: I received this book for free from LibraryThing in return for an honest review.

Angela does not fit in her school in California, but at least she has her diary and books. In her diary she can pretend to be who ever she wants to be. When her Great Aunt dies Angela sees this as her chance to go somewhere else and meet the family her mother never talks about it. In Green Beach, everyone tells the story of Joshua Thorne and his wife Sarah, their mysterious deaths and the fire. When Angela meets the ghost of Joshua in the cemetery, she agrees to help him find out what happened that night. To do this they need to go into the "Pocket". The pocket is a place between the living and dead where anything can happen. But everything is not as it seems. Can she trust Joshua?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. It did leave some questions unanswered but overall I really enjoyed it. ( )

I love this unique paranormal romance!!

High school is all about cliques. Jocks, cheerleaders, stoners, geeks, bullies, and those bullied are some of the more obvious factions roaming the campus. Unfortunately, Angela Ironwright is among the bullied. Her diary is her outlet, but her recordings are not what you’d think. Why relive the horror of the day when one can create a more pleasing life? Escape is not an option from her tormentors, but a temporary reprieve may be possible, let’s say, in the event of a funeral located on the other side of the country for the loss of a Great Aunt.

Having never met any family, Angela is shocked to learn how many of her relatives differ from her mother. Snippy and snobby are mere tips of the iceberg. Motives for the distance are quickly understood. The reasons for her mother’s over protectiveness still remains a mystery.

The town of Green Beach, Connecticut has its own mystery. A well-known ghost story filled with romance and missing girls can be retold by every resident. Like Romeo and Juliet, Joshua and Sarah were not allowed to be together. A disappearance, fire, murder. Nobody knows the truth of what happened that night back in 1890.

Unwittingly, Angela is drawn into the mystery. The search for truth becomes her mission.

I loved the creativity of the story. I loved the births of the characters; some made and some real. The world within the pocket is filled with wonderous delights and nightmares. ( )
