Kurzbeschreibung

If you could speak to the dead, anyone at all, who would it be?

When Jeni asked this question, Shada Emery figured it was a joke. So both she and Willow joined in the fun, naming their favorite dead celebrities.

And then there was Ember Cole.

Ember wants one more talk with her Grandpa Normie, whose death a year ago began a year of tragedy. So when Jeni suggests a camping trip into the dense woods of northwestern Wisconsin to hold a seance, Shada and Willow put off their misgivings and agree for the sake of their friend.

Ember hopes to find the answers she seeks among the dead. But sometimes the dead have their own agenda.

Shada is Book 1 of the Ember Cole series. A young adult paranormal suspense novella, it runs about 32,500 words in length.

Early Praise for Shada:

"This is a great book … I enjoyed Shada very much. It's got that spine tingling fun while drawing you into the characters and their lives." —Victorine E. Lieske, NYT bestselling author of Not What She Seems

"Shada drew me in, left me wanting more, and made me a little afraid to go outside after dark." —T.L. Haddix, author of the Secrets/Leroy series of romantic suspense novels

Über den Autor

Craig Hansen wrote stories from an early age, but when his SF short story, "The S.S. Nova," was published in the Minnesota Writers In the School COMPAS program's 1981 anthology of student writing, When It Grows Up, You Say Goodbye To It, he decided to dedicate himself to writing. Several unpublished novels and short stories followed. Hansen earned two degrees at Minnesota State University at Mankato under the mentorship of young adult novelist Terry Davis. In the years that followed, Hansen worked a variety of jobs related to writing, including editorial work at a small publishing house, holding a position as a website editor, and five years in journalism in northwestern Wisconsin, where he earned several state awards for his writing and editing. His work has appeared in the Meadowbrook Press anthology, Girls to the Rescue, Book 1, as well as the true crime journal, Ripper Notes, in volume 28. His first novel, Most Likely, was released in May. Shada is the first installment of the Ember Cole series of young adult paranormal suspense books. Hansen is hard at work on the next installment in the series, the novel-length book, Ember. Hansen recently moved to Oregon with his wife, a dog, a cat, and his 89-year-old father, a World War II veteran. Craig's interests include the music of Johnny Cash, reading the novels of other independent authors, blogging, and the study of Messianic theology.

3.0 von 5 Sternen So Much More Than A Girl's Quest To Talk To Her Dead Grandfather 8. Juli 2012
Von OpenBookSociety dot com - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Brought to you by OBS reviewer Angie

This novella was a great quick-read. It is written from the perspective of a 14 year old girl and includes many timely references to Twilight, Facebook, Twitter and Harry Potter. But where other adults fail miserably at trying to capture the young culture, Hansen blends these references in seamlessly.

This story was promoted as a young girl's quest to speak with her dead grandfather, but it was so much more. It's about that unique bond that we feel with childhood best-friends and we're sure that it will never be broken by time or distance.

I really enjoyed the book, but just when I felt that I was going to get a little deeper explanation of a character or an event it was off on to something else. I had to continually remind myself that this was a YA novella. I was left a little flat at the end of the story. The entire book had been leading up to the seance to communicate with Ember's grandfather, and that was wrapped up in just a few paragraphs. This is the only reason I rated it a 3 star rather than a 4.

There were several `threads' that could certainly be explored in the second book in the series, Ember, the most mysterious of which would be the sudden and unexplained disappearance of Willow. I look forward to reading the next installment.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Loved this group of friends 30. Mai 2012
Von J. Miller - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I just finished this last night and have to say it was thoroughly enjoyable. I loved this group of friends and found myself wishing I was in the woods performing a seance with them.

The ending has me hooked and I can't wait to see what comes about with these girls and am patiently waiting for the next book to come out.

All in all, a really fun read.

4.0 von 5 Sternen An absorbing read 12. November 2011
Von L. L. Treacy - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Shada was an absorbing read about friendship, letting our friends make decisions for us and then having to deal with the fallout. Shada and her three friends--the strong-willed Jeni, the melancholy Ember, and science nerd Willow--are close and Jeni invites them to a sleepover in the woods for a seance. Jeni lives on Reservation lands and when the girls trudge out to the camp site, they soon learn about the history of the place. Shada, like Jeni, is Native American, and understands Jeni when she speaks in Lakota, really putting on a show for her friends. But when a cool breeze starts up and twigs begin snapping in response to questions, the girls have to wonder what is really going on?

This novella is a fast read and the author handles the dialogue of seventh graders quite well (Willow is a year younger than her friends). There were a few instances when I thought Shada, our first-person narrator, sounded older when she used worn expressions. The story had an endearing charm about it--a combination of the feel of old-fashioned ghost stories combined with the complexities of modern day friendship in a technological age. The girls were not the usual norm, they were unique individuals and I especially enjoyed their camaraderie. It was touching to see the three friends want to help Ember smile again after she witnessed the death of her Grandpa Normie (not an actual relation, a friend of her grandmother's) a year before, then watched as her beloved grandmother fell into depression and suffered from Alzheimer's.

Holding a seance on ancient burial grounds was incredibly spooky and Craig Hansen skillfully crafted these chilly scenes, especially when one of the girls wanted to speak to Johnny Cash and when Jeni pulls out a Ouija board. I would have liked a tiny smattering of ominous descriptions during these dialogue-heavy scenes simply to create more suspense, but then I enjoy creepy stories.

Shada asks the question of what happens when fake becomes true. By the mysterious way this novella ended, I am curious to see what happens between her and Ember after Shada has to move away. Will the Shoshoni word Sacagawea's ghost utters through Jeni--"pakuitah--somehow play a greater role? I'll have to wait and see next year when the next story, Ember, is published.
