Overview

Some ghost stories wait for the right summer to come alive. Blackshore, Nova Scotia, is known for its pirate history and urban legends. Children vanish. And every spring + summer, legend says a pirate rises from the caves to collect his due. Autumn Quinn never believed in the towns folklore-until the spring of 1997, when she was taken. She came back alive. But she came back marked. Something crawled out of the dark with her. Now Autumn and her friends are trapped in Blackshore's oldest nightmare, hunted by a presence that wears a pirate's face and burrows into their minds. And for Jesse Ryder, Autumn's boyfriend, the voice is merciless: kill her friends, or watch her die. Set in the summer of 1997, The Legend of Blackshore is a coming-of-age romantic thriller filled with haunted coastlines, cursed caves, and the kind of first love that leaves a scar.

Reviews

A superbly written novel from the point of view of 3 teens dealing with some pretty grown up shit. I was completely invested in the character's relationships with each other, and everything they were dealing with. As I eagerly turned the pages and worked my way through the layers of the story, I felt all the emotions in real time - my heart ached, I laughed, I cried, I held my breath, I yelled at the pages of the book as if they could hear me. The author does a fantastic job of taking some potentially dark and triggering themes, and explores them in a gentle, but realistic and respectful way. Despite this being a supernatural coming of age story, it's not at all cheesy, and the way it's written allows the adult reader to experience the events as if they were a young adult or teen again.
