Don’t miss out on this one, totally creepy and completely brilliant

Askews & Holts Library Service

The best spine-tingling, atmospheric tale that I've read for some time. Warning: be prepared to be up all night.

Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books blog

It quite literally brought me chills while reading it, I had to make sure the window was closed! The mystery kept me fascinated!

Isobel Read, age 13 (Lovereading)

A fantastic book which grips you from the very beginning

Philip Wood, age 13 (Lovereading)

Teenage thriller. Excellent descriptive pieces and a suitably cliff-hanging ending.

The School Librarian

Really enjoyable. Kept me on the edge of my seat in an eerie sort of way.
