Amy Goodnight knows that the world isn't as simple as it seems. She
also understands that "normal" doesn't mix with magic, and she's
worked hard to build a wall between the two worlds. Not only to
protect her family, who are all practicing witches, but to protect
any hope of ever having a normal life herself.
Ranch-sitting for her aunt in Texas should be exactly that: good
old ordinary, uneventful hard work. Only, Amy and her sister, Phin,
aren't alone. There's someone else in the house with them--and it's
not the living, breathing, amazingly hot cowboy from the ranch next
door.
It's a ghost, and it's more powerful than the Goodnights and all
their protective spells combined. It wants something from Amy, and
none of her carefully built defenses can hold it back.
This is the summer when the wall between Amy's worlds is going to
come crashing down.
A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year
An ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults
Praise for Texas Gothic:
Star] "You can't get much more Nancy Drew. . . . This engaging
mystery has plenty of both paranormal and romance, spiced with
loving families and satisfyingly packed with self-sufficient,
competent girls."--"Kirkus Reviews," Starred
Star] "Teens looking for a rollicking adventure filled with
paranormal events, dastardly evildoers, and laugh-out-loud moments
as Amy and Ben argue and snipe their way to love will adore this
book."--"School Library Journal," Starred
"The author mixes suspense, humor, and lots of local flavor. . . .
The enjoyable sum is a lively teen ghost story with sex
appeal."--"The Horn Book"
"A deeply affectionate rendering of Texas landscapes and legends
combines with an appealing cast of well-developed characters to
give texture to this well-plotted mystery; truly scary moments are
balanced by the humorous bumbles of the awkwardly developing
romance between Amy and Ben, as well as Phin's sublime cluelessness
about the way her eccentricities appear to other people."--"The
Bulletin"
"From the Hardcover edition."
