Silverfish
Not so long ago, ghost stories were born over campfires or whispered to life on school playgrounds. Now they can travel from a computer in a dark room to a phone screen an ocean away with one keystroke.
Juna Poe is a typical high school senior, counting the days until graduation, fighting with her mom, and drawing--until an incident at school unlocks something monstrous in the pages of her sketchbook.
Juna goes about her regular life—fixing the Wifi for the witch next door and not having a crush on her best friend, Callie--unaware of the ancient magic stirring in the Appalachian mountains around her.
Because the Silverfish has been born. And it is watching.
The story should have stopped there, dying in a small town with an angry girl--but then her brother posts about her creation online, and people start to disappear. Now, Juna and her friends must delve into old folk magic to fight a monster spawned in misty mountains and solidified on the dark web.

Solid 3.5
Goodreads giveaway win
I must say that this book would have been the perfect starter book for my King/Koontz addiction. If you have a younger teen itching to raid your bookshelf, this is the book for them! A little bit of drama, a little bit of horror and a little bit of imagination, no adult language or situations for you to stress over. Swap on over to Amazon and add it to your kindle library!

Silverfish has everything I love in a book. Nuanced characters, multiple perspectives, a fun story and a little bit of magic.
