This is the story of unbelievable events happening in the tiny town of Hal's Cove.  The main character is a 17 year old girl named Jeanne Rowland.  But the story starts out with the murder of another 17 year old girl, 40 year earlier, named Naomi.  She was killed in the street by a strange, non-human being.  Her spirit remains angry and revengeful until she decides to strike back and get her pay-back.  The story has so many characters and beings, good and evil that it is hard to keep track of who is who and who is a hero and who is the enemy.The spirits of a parallel universe called An-Keir-A take over the bodies of a bunch of teenagers in Hal's Cove, trying to destroy this universe to save theirs.  Two of these teenagers are Jeanne's boyfriend, Charlie and her older sister. A war breaks out among the "ghosts" of this alternate universe and Naomi, some survive and some do not.  The upshot is that Hal's Cove recovers and although the memory of that time never fades, the memories of the inhabitants do.  This is the kind of book that really should become a movie.  It's about small town life turned upside down by spirits, evil, ghosts and aliens.  WOW!!!  I highly recommend it for someone wanting an adrenalin rush!!
