review 1: Teen Spirit by Block - After losing her warm and wonderful grandmother Miriam, her home and garden with fruit trees and flowers; and her mother to a new boyfriend, Julie is thrilled to find Clark at her new school. He’s a misfit with a goofy grin and crazy assortment of hats and a deep-seated fear. To alleviate the heaviness within her, Julie and Clark try to contact Julie’s grandmother using a Ouija board, but it’s not her spirit that’s released. The two Buffy fans have some real spirits to deal with and do some research to learn the following: “’Spirits can become activated and released by Ouija boards and enter through a portal. . . In some cases, malevolent spirits will attach themselves to others, coming through relatively unnoticed. . . . Both evil and we... morell-meaning spirits may also attach themselves to the body of a vulnerable human ‘host.’ This is otherwise known as ‘possession.’” The reader is drawn into the world of mysticism with Julie and Clark rooting for the damaged teens and hoping they will find the answers they are looking for. The only thing that bothered me about this book were all the descriptions of clothing and food—too much of that for me, but I loved the story and characters, especially the secondary characters.
review 2: I loved this book more than I expected to. My only complaint is that it was too short I want more of these characters. Movie or tv show please! The buffy and potter references made me adore the characters gotta love nerdy characters. The story it's self was beautiful ignoring the paranormal romance aspects it was stunning novel about grief, death, & loss. Sidenote the teen spirit/ghost, Grant. was very determined to get laid such a typical teen male even dead they are thinking about sex. Maybe it's just me but I found that hilarious. There a lot of good quotes such as " Our thoughts are wild creatures who've been wounded countless times we have to tame them." & "'We can't help you, do it yourself' They should be on Etsy" That made me crack up laughing. less
