ABOUT THE BOOK:
The Nightmare is Coming...
Ghost Town is the hottest amusement park in the country, offering state-of-the-art chills and thrills involving the paranormal. The park's main ride is a haunted house that promises an encounter with a real ghost.
When Maia Peters visits during her senior year of college, she's not expecting to be impressed. Maia grew up as the only child of a pair of world-renowned "ghost hunters," so the paranormal is nothing new and to her most of the park is just Hollywood special effects. In fact, the ride feels pretty boring until the very end. There, a face appears from the mist. The face of Jordin Cole, a girl Maia knows who disappeared from campus a few months ago.
Convinced what she saw wasn't a hoax and desperate to find answers to Jordin's disappearance, Maia launches into a quest for answers. Joined by Jordin's boyfriend--a pastor's kid with very different ideas about paranormal and the spirit realm--Maia finds herself in a struggle against dangerous forces she never expected to confront on the edge of the spirit realm that try to keep the truth from emerging.

Back Cover Review:
This story is a roller-coaster-thrill-ride (and excellent vacation reading, although I did miss out on building a sand castle because I was so engrossed!). I was equally intrigued because a Pastor at our church recently preached about Ghosts (part of a sermon series Angels, Demons and Ghosts).
Robin Parrish is an excellent writer - and from a writing standpoint, the amount of research that probably went into this book impressed me. I love seeing the power we have in Christ spoken about whether from the platform or in fiction-writing. The only topic that this plot left un-touched is the idea of breaking things off in our lives whether from things we have done or words that have been spoken against us.
For anyone who loves a good Ghost story, is fascinated by the paranormal or desiring a whole meal of thought on the spiritual world - I think this is a great read!
