Shortly after her sixteenth birthday, Sunshine Griffith and her mother Kat move from sunny Austin, Texas, to the rain-drenched town of Ridgemont, Washington. Though Sunshine is adopted, she and her mother have always been close, sharing a special bond filled with laughter and inside jokes. But from the moment they arrive, Sunshine feels her world darken with an eeriness she cannot place. And even if Kat doesn't recognize it, Sunshine knows that something about their new house is just ... creepy.

I'm torn with this book. On one hand I love the creepy, haunted vibes and the story idea itself. On the other hand, I just got really tired of the writing style - I know the mc is young, but it just felt like it didn't flow. But I still see so much potential with this book because it truly has an awesome plot and I liked Sunshine as an mc, even if she occasionally did feel a litttttle cliched in the “quirky teen girl” sense.
This book was so good! It was creepy but not too scary, and so much fun. Loved all the characters!
I'm late to the game having only found the show about a week ago and I have only seen season one....but I loved it and wanted to read the book right away. First, know that the reader does not have to had watched any of the show in order to read the book and that the story in the book is very independent to what happened on the show. There are more characters, for example, and the plot is original. That said, this was pretty darn good. There were times when Sunshine got on my nerves with her lack of ambition to learn anything on her own (seriously, large chunks of time are missing in the story-what is Sunshine doing?) She has nerves of steel one minute and is lashing out the next. Sigh. Other than that, the story is solid and frightening. The new characters are awesome (I love Nolan-he reminds me of a young Giles). I want more, so that means the book is a hit for me. Also, cover-love, thy name is The Haunting of Sunshine Girl. Goodread.
