The Haunting of Sunshine Girl

I love starting a new book, with an author I have never read before, on a topic that has never really interested me. I have always loved supernatural shows and books. But a book about a girl who is being haunted by ghosts and demons have never really been my typical reading. But this new series I have started I am becoming obsessed with.
         Sunshine and her mom move from Austin, Texas to Washington state because her mom is a hospital nurse who gets transferred. The house that they move into is haunted by a spirit and shortly after they move in her mom gets possessed by a demon. I learned that a demon can be a ghost of someone that refuses to move on and slowly gets darker turning into a demon. Sunshine hears footsteps, drowning, and plays chess with a little girl ghost. She meets a boy named Nolan in her art class who starts to help her learn about the ghost and the demon so they can get rid of it. He believes in ghosts too because his grandfather believed in them. He is perfect boyfriend material for Sunshine. He discovers that Sunshine is a unique/rare supernatural creature known as a Luiseach. They are supposed to protect mortals from evil ghosts, help spirits move on, and get rid of spirits who won't move on or can't. They go visit a professor at a university a few towns over to get more information only later to find out he is a ghost too.
         She did some research and discovers that the little girl that haunts her drowned a year ago. She discovers that the little girl's mother is her creepy, weird, art teacher. She goes and visits her and she tells her she was a former Luiseach who gave up her powers. Her daughter was killed by her husband who was possessed by a water demon. She gave up her powers so that she could help Sunshine pass her test. She has a mentor and a protector. The test is that she is supposed to get rid/kill the water demon possessing her mother on New Year's night. She succeeds at her mission and she is glad to finally have her mother back. She finds out that Nolan is her protector. She hasn't met her mentor yet and her is supposed to help her with saving her race.
         This was an amazing book and I was completely addicted from page one!!! I discovered a new author and can't wait to read the next book that comes out March 2016.
