Nightshade by Kim Wilkins

3.0

Nice, light-hearted (okay, so there is a nasty spirit that gets free and causes havoc, but still) teenage supernatural romp, with a bit of Russian history thrown in for entertainment. Well paced, nicely written. Haven't read widely enough to know whether the blurb's claim that "Kim has gained a reputation as Australia's leading dark fantasy writer" has any validity, but certainly the writing is good enough to make it believable. I'm probably not going to go out of my way to acquire my own copy of this one, but I will certainly keep an eye out for other books by the same author.

I read the Gina Champion Mystery series when I was 13/14, but for some reason could never find a copy of this book. Now I'm 22 and just found a copy of this at a local library. It was such a fun read that took me right back to my early teens, staying up too late on school nights wishing I had bright red hair and a psychic ability. It was so bittersweet to finally be able to finish the series ❤
