Texas Gothic revolves around Amy Goodnight, who is house sitting with her sister Phin for their aunt. Now the Goodnights aren't your average family they have some added magical flair. Some of them create magically things like lotion that makes all your aches and pains go away or others are psychic. Amy wants nothing to do with her magic side whatever her skills might be, but she finds herself attracting ghosts and whole lot of trouble instead. After a skeleton is discovered near her aunt's ranch Amy and Phin find themselves more involved than they ever expected, which puts the towns folk in tizzy when people start getting hurt and ghost rumors and Goodnight connections to the events start to fly. There's a bit a romance (not pukey) between Amy and ranch neighbor Ben, which is pretty amusing. With a good dose of creepiness and intrigue this is a guaranteed scary read.
