Do you enjoy young adult fiction of the paranormal variety?  If you do then Souls of Darkness by Eleanor Beaty may be right up your alley.Jeffery is mere steps from his front door with his key out ready to open his door with a paranormal being appears out of nowhere indicating that it is his time to go.  Despite his request for a quick moment to say goodbye to his family, his heart gives out and he dies at the door step.  With his mysterious death fresh in our minds we meet his family as they are trying to move on and are planning a summer trip to Mahini (near Cooks Island) to help with the grieving process.  Alex, Jeffery's son is not happy about the trip, but intends to make the best of it.  Soon after their arrival Alex finds that the island has little to offer in the way of modern comforts but all may not be lost as there is a cute girl who caught his eye.  Taiya proves an invaluable asset as Alex encounters supernatural beings and has the fate of the island placed on his shoulders.  Souls of Darkness was definitely worth the read.
