Praise for Urban Legends

There were times when I was almost too scared to turn the page . . . Well written and brilliantly paced . . . As it says on the cover: "No one is safe"

Parenting Without Tears

Helen writes so perfectly, that you just can’t not read. She knows precisely how to play on all your inner fears, and then some

Bookwitch

Urban Legends was an exciting end to the trilogy. There was heart-stopping action, surprises that shocked me . . . plenty of creepy abandoned buildings and plenty of atmosphere

Flutteringbutterflies.com

Grant's pacing in Urban Legends is impeccable . . . just a perfect end to the series . . . I can’t recommend Urban Legends and its predecessors highly enough

A Fantastical Librarian

Make[s] the kind of breathtaking journey I wanted to begin again the moment I'd finished

Awfully Big Reviews

A suitably creepy tale of murder and urban exploration

Crime Review

The build-up of tension is so excellently handled that the desire to know what happens next has to be set against the fear that the revelation of what lies ahead is going to shock us well out of our comfort zone . . . she certainly knows how to play with a reader's nervous system

Robert Dunbar, INIS

Thrilling and chilling - but don't read it when home alone.
