Say her name by Juno Dawson

Say her name by Juno Dawson

Drip...drip...drip... In five days, she will come...

Roberta 'Bobbie' Rowe is not the kind of person who believes in ghosts. A Halloween dare at her ridiculously spooky boarding school is no big deal, especially when her best friend Naya and cute local boy Caine agree to join in too. They are ordered to summon the legendary ghost of Bloody Mary: say her name five times in front of a candlelit mirror, and she shall appear... But, surprise surprise, nothing happens. Or does it? 

Next morning, Bobbie finds a message on her bathroom mirror - five days - but what does it mean? And who left it there? Things get increasingly weird and more terrifying for Bobbie and Naya, until it becomes all too clear that Bloody Mary was indeed called from the afterlife that night, and she is definitely not a friendly ghost. Bobbie, Naya and Caine are now in a race against time before their five days are up and Mary comes for them, as she has come for countless others before... A truly spine-chilling yet witty horror from shortlisted 'Queen of Teen' author James Dawson.

   

Ok…. So lets start by saying this book came from the young adults section but the cover grabbed me and what the book was about sold it!!

Right from page one I was totally hooked, as I kept reading it just left me wanting more.

The story line of this book is fantastic! As I’m sure for a lot of you, when we were at school the story of Bloody Mary circled our halls, it most defiantly did when I was at school anyway, so this book brought back all them school feelings and questions of: Is it true? What would happen is I did it? Should I do it? Am I a chicken if I don’t?

This book defiantly gave me a few jumps along the way as well as an unnerving feeling in places! The bed part! Oh my, my heart was beating out of my chest! For anyone that knows me, they know I do not like anything under the duvet apart from me! Lol and reading that part 100% unnerved me!

There is also a couple twists or shocks in this book if you like, a couple of times I would get to the end of a chapter and be like ‘what really?’ ***Mouth wide open***

which I really did like, this book I think is fantastically written and is a brilliant story line!


As well as having the scary/horror side to this book as you fully get into it and find out why things are happening there is a very sad reason of why it is going on, it’s almost like a horror/romance all in one which I thought was a good twist to the book.

And finally to finish off this review….. All I can say without giving to much away is…… Oh my goodness what an ending!! This is honestly a really good book to read!

If you do get this book I hope you enjoy it and leave me a comment saying what you thought.

Me rating is:       

(5 stars)


Thank you for reading.

Shallow Graves bt Patrick Logan - Review.

Shallow Graves b y Patrick Logan. Not all houses are made of brick and stone... Robert Watts is having the worst day of his entire life: first he's laid off, then he finds out that his wife is having an affair... with his boss no less. And that's only the beginning.   Before the month is out, Robert finds himself alone to raise his daughter with no money, no job, and a house that is minutes from being repossessed. Just when he hits rock bottom, a strange visitor arrives at the doorstep of his soon to be foreclosed house with a letter from an Aunt he didn't know existed. The offer is simple: look after Aunt Ruth during her dying days, and in return Robert will be bequeathed the Harlop Estate in which she currently resides. It's a no brainer and Robert jumps at the opportunity, equally motivated by the prospect of financial security as he is for a fresh start.   Problem is, it only takes a few nights in the Harlop Estate before

The killing lessons by Saul Black.

The killing lessons by Saul Black. When the two strangers turn up at Rowena Cooper's isolated Colorado farmhouse, she knows instantly that it's the end of everything. For the two haunted and driven men, on the other hand, it's just another stop on a long and bloody journey. And they still have many miles to go, and victims to sacrifice, before their work is done. For San Francisco homicide detective Valerie Hart, their trail of victims--women abducted, tortured and left with a seemingly random series of objects inside them--has brought her from obsession to the edge of physical and psychological destruction. And she's losing hope of making a breakthrough before that happens. But the murders at the Cooper farmhouse didn't quite go according to plan. There was a survivor, Rowena's ten-year-old daughter Nell, who now holds the key to the killings. Injured, half-frozen, terrified, Nell has only one place to go. And that place could be even more dangerous th
