Description Supposing Books Past Midnight (Past Midnight #1)
Let me set the record straight. My name is Charlotte Silver and I'm not one of those paranormal-obsessed freaks you see on TV…no, those would be my parents, who have their own ghost-hunting reality show. And while I'm usually roped into the behind-the-scenes work, it turns out that I haven't gone unnoticed. Something happened on my parents' research trip in Charleston—and now I'm being stalked by some truly frightening other beings. Trying to fit into a new school and keeping my parents' creepy occupation a secret from my friends—and potential boyfriends—is hard enough without having angry spirits whispering in my ear.All I ever wanted was to be normal, but with ghosts of my past and present colliding, now I just want to make it out of high school alive….

I really enjoyed reading this book! Charlotte was a fantastic main character! She is smart and funny, and just seems like the girl-next-door; like someone that you would want to be friends with. The storyline was interesting and fun to read. Once I picked up the book, I only set it down once (because it was midnight) and looked forward to picking it back up the next day. There were so many different little mystery nuggets in this book. I love books that make you wonder what's going on, whereUnless you've been studiously avoiding noticing such titles, there's no mistaking that paranormal teen fiction has enjoyed an enormous raise in popularity in the past few years. As such, more & more authors are putting out their own stories to thrill & entertain readers both young & old. (Let's be honest- teen fiction rocks regardless of how old you are.) With large amounts of similarly themed books entering the market it's difficult to find something that puts a different spin on
The truth is that the paranormal is normal. It's just a normal that we don't understand yet.So the main character of this book, Charlotte, composed a song and wanted me to sing it to you.*cue Fresh Prince music*Now this is the story of about howMy life got spooky turned inside out.I'd like to take a minute - so sit right there.And I'll tell you how I became the princess of Ghost-busters extraordinaire.In deeply haunted houses where I was born and raised,A ghost's playground was where I was
This novel surprised me, and in a good way. At first, I assumed the novel would have a pretty basic plot on ghosts, but I love ghosts and all kinds of ghost stories so I was willing to give it a go, either way. It kept getting pushed to the back of my TBR pile, until one day I thought 'no, I'm going to read this today.' And I'm glad I did. It centres around Charlotte. A girl with slight insecurity issues, especially around her older, beautiful sister. Her parents make their living investigating
The book was about ghosts and spirits, but it was not frightening. It was more of explaining the background of experimenting spirits in certain places. It included some facts about real devices used in the real world even in a fiction book. This is a reader beware book because I am such a nerd on reading about ghosts or find these kind of topics interesting. Also, this a book for teens because it was a very easy read and a t a lower reading level than for adults. Mara Purnhagen is the author
Charlottes parents are ghost-hunters who travel the country investigating (and debunking) the paranormal. In the past, Charlottes peers have treated her like a freak when they learned about her parents profession, so when Charlotte starts a new school at the beginning of senior year, she keeps it a secret. Avery, a popular cheerleader, lives across the street from Charlottes new home, and the two girls become fast friends. Finally, Charlotte thinks shes going to have a normal life that is, until
Short and Sweet: Past Midnight was exactly what I was looking for. A fun, fast paranormal read. Looking at the outside, I was surprised at how short it was. At 216 pages, Past Midnight is more than meets the eye. Not overtly scary but paranormal enough to satisfy my paranormal craving. The characters were engaging. The plot was different, in a completely amazing way. And the romance did not follow the stereotypical formula that I feared it might.Final Verdict: I want more of this series... right
