Review
"This book reads like a good episode of your favorite ghost-hunting show. Gibson is clearly a believer, but manages to maintain a realistic feel and avoid any sensationalization or melodrama that would push the story over the edge. Teens who watch Ghost Whisperer or Haunting Evidence, who flock to everything Buffy, or who like their ghosts to feel real (with a hint of humor and romance) will eat this up and eagerly await the next installment in the Ghost Huntress series."--
Booklist
"This trilogy is well put together and attractively packaged--fast-paced, twisty plot."--VOYA, 3Q4P
Review
"If you are a cancer survivor, please read this book. Smile, cry, and cheer like I did. It will make you feel great to be alive. If you are not a cancer survivor, please read this book and know that everything that Hayley goes through, and her reactions to it all, are genuine. Her story will make you feel great for Hayley to be alive. Very rarely am I inspired by a work of fiction.
Radiate is truly inspirational."--Andrew D. Carlson, author of
Sue's Fingerprint and
Sue's Vision "
Radiate shows readers that the power of positive thinking can change lives!"--New York Times bestselling author Simone Elkles "Whether she's writing about teen ghost huntresses or a cheerleader battling cancer, Marley Gibson has such a distinctive voice. I have never read a writer with a voice as characteristic and consistent. Love it!" - Jennifer Echols, author of GOING TOO FAR and FORGET YOU "
Radiant is a word that aptly describes this new novel by Marley Gibson. Hayleys startling journey as a teen fighting cancer is intense and astonishing and I found myself caught in the tight grip of hope and determination. A story as extraordinary and as powerful as this one will affect the reader long after the book is finished, especially after knowing the source of the authors inspiration."--Colleen Houck,
