Book Review
I have greatly enjoyed reading this book and will definitely be looking out for more by these authors
I was hooked to the very last page with these stories, which build their suspense perfectly, and have wonderfully plotted storylines that will take your breath away. Some of my personal favorites include The Party, by Louie Stowell, in which a girl called Lily finds out a sinister secret in her new school, and How To Disappear, by Rosie Talbot, in which a boy called Finch’s efforts to protect his boyfriend from the village curse land him in more trouble than he anticipated.
These stories have everything you could ask for, with thrilling storylines and compelling characters that will keep you wondering what could happen next. I would recommend this book to teenagers and young adults, both those new to the genre and those already enthused. I have greatly enjoyed reading this book and will definitely be looking out for more by these authors.
