Bad Blood Part 4

OMG this book gets more scary the further you go into it. You will by of course by now have realised that I'm not going to give away the plot, but what I will do is mention from time to time characters that I have met and like. Enter Alice. Don't walk in the woods alone! Read the book.

Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne

Had to start this book, its been sitting on my desk for such a long time. I really wanted to see the film but after starting the book I am glad I didn't. The story begins and you are automatically intrigued as to the profession of Bruno's father. It made me think and I am only 37 pages in.

Take a look at this book before you watch the film.

Half term will give me a chance to do some proper reading.

Watch this space.

Bad Blood (part 3)

The story has taken a different road than I thought it would, we have met new characters and discovered interesting facts about the families past. More secrets and missing links to be solved.
Cat is the most unlikeable character I have ever met. (But I think I understand her a little bit).

The house is definitely taking a hold. Listen to your dreams and avoid dolls with no eyes.
If you don't like horror as a genre then this book is not for you, but then again you should try it and make up your own mind.

Watch this space.........

Further on (Bad Blood)

I have just met the delightful Delilah and the Drones. Books with names scratched out, scissors which are all blunt. Secret cupboards and the delightful Cat who I think will be the first person to fall foul of the house.. Read and feel the goosebumps.
The house is coming alive again.

Kiss of Death by Malcolm Rose

I have to add Kiss of Death to my favourite book list. If you like mischief, adventure and a touch of the Black Death set in the 21st century then you too will love this book. An easy read designed to be read in one go. Try it and see.

Bad Blood Part 2

The family have reached the house in the Lake District, and by the sound of it I think I would be a little scared. The children are all developing their own personalities to me, still unsure about Cat. Weird goings on and am waiting for strange happenings to begin. Takes a little to get into but cannot wait.
Keep reading.

Unsure

I started reading Bad Blood this morning, and to be perfectly honest I am a little unsure as to whether or not I will like it. I can see where it is going but the character of Cat (not Kat, you'll get it if you read the book) is really annoying as a character. The story is set in England , Lake District where a family go on holiday, to a house that once belonged to the dad's dead wife's uncle. I am more interested in the house at the moment than the family but I suppose we need the whole set up. Spooky goings on I predict.

The Black Book of Secrets by F.E.Higgins

I am guilty of looking at this book and judging it by its cover. I assumed it would be about pirates and ghosts. (don't ask me why that's just what I assumed). I was so glad I opened the book and decided to read on.
The book made me cringe with the first chapter delighted by the fifth and by the end of the book I was completely hooked. I wanted to follow the characters, to share their secret. I could even imagine in my head what some of the characters looked like. (which helped me enjoy the book even more).
Not my normal genre to read but am glad I did. Take a look at this book if you enjoy the surprise factor, secrets unveiled and characters you would love to have known.
298 pages of excellent read.
