Overview

Is Aaron a dream or something much more deadly?

Livia Hinson has just begun a Seminar at Sea when a storm hits their yacht. Now, she is stranded with the other students on an island off the coast of California. Far away from her foster home and her heartbreak, Livia finds Aaron, the perfect love. But the only way they can be together is in her dreams.

The other students are having tempting dreams of their own, and Livia begins to realize that the storm has blown in more than rain. Is Aaron flesh or spirit? Can he come to her world, or will he pull her into his? Together, they explore the blurred territory between love and illusion on a dangerous journey that will force Livia to make the most important decision of her life.

Regan Murphy

Ghost Island by Bonnie Hearn Hill is a fascinating book. Although it is intended for YA audiences, I found it enthralling. Livia Hinson is a delightful heroine. Genuine, clever, down on her luck, and exceptionally appealing, she tells the story in a unique and refreshing voice. From the moment the storm hits the yacht off the coast of California, you know this book is different. Ghost Island captured and held my interest from the opening paragraph to the last word. If you want a book that will f

Bonnie Hearn Hill has earned herself a dedicated new fan with her page turner Ghost Island. A fantastic read from start to finish, this YA novel defies genres and will hook in readers of all ages. Our heroine, Livia Hinson, is a normal teenager—well as normal as you can be when your Dad is serving a life sentence for the murder of your Mom. One of the strengths of Ghost Island is the rich color of the characters, all believable for their various ages. Bonnie Hearn Hill is to be commended

Meet the Author

Bonnie Hearn Hill worked as a newspaper editor for 22 years, a job that, along with her natural nosiness, increased her interest in contemporary culture. Prior to her new Star Crossed series from Running Press/Perseus Books, she wrote six thrillers for MIRA Books, as well as numerous short stories, nonfiction books and articles.

An interest in astrology along with her close friendship with Cosmo Magazine Astrologer Hazel Dixon-Cooper inspired the Star Crossed series: Aries Rising, Taurus Eyes, and Gemini Night.

A national conference speaker, Bonnie founded The Tuesdays, a bonded and successful writing workshop in Fresno, California, and she also teaches an occasional online class. On Fridays she meets with her private critique group (humorous astrology author Hazel Dixon-Cooper, prescriptive nonfiction writer Dennis C. Lewis, and musician/thriller novelist Christopher Allen Poe). What happens in those groups ranges from spontaneous applause to “getting filleted,” as Bonnie’s students and colleagues call it.

GREAT BOOK

Ghost Island is a great ghost story! With all the supernatural elements needed for a good pull-the-covers-over-your-head, don't-turn-out-the-lights story, Bonnie was able to capture not only the fragility of teen love but also great examples of what teens, and adults, secretly long for. As the spirits try to channel what each character wants most, I found myself turning pages to find out what and who was next on their list and why. Definitely recommend!
