Spirit by J. P. Hightman
Courtesy Of Teens Read Too
Its something of a Romeo and Juliet story. There was a young couple in
Salem, long ago . . . And the girls mother, she hated the boy. When the
witch-hunting began, mother, daughter, and suitor all ended up at the
Blackthorne hanging.
Now, ages later, in the cold, dark heart of the Victorian era—an age of
black clothes and black moods—one train is bound for Blackthorne, near
Salem, where a winter carnival awaits. The cars are full of the promise of
fireworks, sleigh rides, and skating. But for Tess and Tobias Goodraven,
this train will take them to a place much darker than they imagined.
Even a seasoned pair of ghost hunters like Tess and Tobias didnt expect
a witch like Old Mother Malgore—a witch who stalks the forests, silent as
snowfall, hunting, hungering. When the train derails and the casualties
climb, the Goodravens must bridge the gap between past and present

tragedies if they have any chance of quieting the souls of the living, the
dead, and the haunted.
In J. P. Hightmans richly woven story of ghosts and witchcraft, the simple
is sinister, the dead stalk the living, and the only real weapon is love.
Personal Review: Spirit by J. P. Hightman

Paranormal Young Adult
Rating: 4.5 Enchantments
There's only one way to describe SPIRIT: a spellbinding page-turner. From
the moment I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. J.P. Hightman
crafts a riveting story that grabs hold of the reader immediately and doesn't
let go until the startling, goosebump giving conclusion.
Tess and Tobias Goodravens, seventeen years old and newly married, are
already seasoned ghost hunters. Now on the hunt for `The Ones Who Got
Away', witches who somehow managed to escape the Salem Witch Trials,
Tess and Tobias find themselves heading to Blackthorne, a tiny, haunted
town in Massachusetts. Tess is already feeling anxious about the
upcoming experience, while Tobias too is a little uneasy, but he does his
best to hide his true feelings from his wife. Along the way, the couple are
forced to take a train ride that will have extreme life changing
consequences.
Wow, what an unexpected paranormal read. Aside from its unique setting
and time period, Tess and Tobias are two of the more unusual characters
I've ever run across, which I think made them all the more endearing. I
loved the whole thing, the twists and turns, the unusual characters that
populated the story.
An amazing tale, SPIRIT will leave the reader with goosebumps as they
near the startling conclusion that will leave them speechless. I can't wait to
read more from this talented author.
