Shade: 1 (Oracle of Senders)

First off I love ghosts and dream of going ghost-hunting someday. So when my favorite book box ever Rainbow crate (@ rainbowcratebookbox on instagram) did a ghost box I was so excited and started reading all the ghost fandoms included in the box. Shade is about a camp for teenagers who can see or feel ghosts. This book is on the lower side of YA which makes sense because this a four year camp. I love how diverse this book was. All of the students are all from different counties, back grounds and many speak more then one language.The author does an amazing job of showing and describing the different abilities the campers have and I love how every campers ability is unique to them. I love all characters so much. My favorites are Cal(main character) and Meander. Two of my favorite scenes are Meander and Cal in the cemetery and the one with them in the library. I love Cal’s character growth. This book was just fantastic and is the perfect replacement for Harry Potter and for those who miss Camp Half-Blood.

This is the first story I have read by Canadian author Mere Joyce but it won't be the last. I really enjoyed Cal and his interactions with his fellow campers. I love how he interacts with Meander and how he has great compassion and understanding for those around him. I can't wait to find out what happens next!Oh and let's talk about this cover!! It is fantastic. I think it really fits with the story. More people need beautiful covers like this.I'm going to go stalk...I mean follow, the author everywhere now!Happy Reading

Nice

If you’re into ghost stories this is a good read geared toward younger teens. It has a bit of Harry Potter and Ghost Busters influence, though it’s not comical in the least. The characters are relatable, and most are likable. There was quite a bit of action, but I felt it was lacking in suspense. Overall a good read and a good start to a series.

This exceeded my expectations cannot wait for the next of series to be released!
