There's a sequel. Why isn't it out in the U.S. yet?Books like this are the reason why I keep the MyBookBox subscription. It's true I don't always like them. However, the chances are better that I will, and in most classes, the book is one I would have passed by in a bookstore. Sweetpea is a first pe...

Anyone who is a bit of a prude or shrinking violet should keep well away from this book, but for everyone else be prepared for a fantastic read and I certainly couldn't put it down! Here we have Rhiannon, a mouse by day and a terror at night who only wants to be happy. What a great story, filled wit...

5+ Stars. This book really exceeded all my expectations. This one is magnificent, will give one goosebumps, will amaze people. Welcome to the prestigious boarding school Bathory, which is (just like a lot of boarding schools) located in the middle of nowhere. Really, in the middle of nowhere, espe...

Monster was a highly entertaining if slightly odd read in a lot of ways - the author I would think read a lot of boarding school stories (as did I) growing up and perhaps decided it was time to add some additional blood and guts and terror to the process...and it worked as well. Who would have thoug...

Done? Okay..Now, I don't know about ...

Dead Romantic was a hilariously spunky tale of Camille trying to find her one true love. She’d fancied the school hottie Damian, but he didn’t show the slightest bit of interest, just for a quickie. And Camille didn’t want this she wanted something more deep and meaningful. That’s where the creepy g...

Das Buch war viel mehr, als nur ein kleiner 448-Seiten Roman, über einen weiblichen Fan einer (Kreisch-)Rockband. Es ging vor allem um das Leben des Rockstars, abseits der Glamour-Welt. Depressionen, Drogen und sonstige, fast schon Klischee Dinge, zierten die Geschichte im ersten Drittel.Abgesehen v...

Fantastic! Full review to come shortly but a great zany, humorous and genre-savvy (in the sense of horror/Frankenstein tropes and playing with them) read.

Beforehand I was really interested in the concept of this novel. It promised me the chance to finally be able to read a C.J. Skuse novel and I wasn't disappointed.In this novel, Skuse has created a funny, modern retelling of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. After meeting a girl in a graveyard, Camille ...

Review: Camille isn’t the most popular girl in school. not by a long shot. But she wants a boyfriend, and when Zoe comes along, and suggests making one, they go for it. It’s not long before they’re raiding bodies and hooking them up to electrical things. But then things start going a little bit wron...
