Thank you so much to Hachette Children’s/ Orchard Books and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.
Six short stories of spinechilling events as they happen to young tweens. A possessed pair of shoes, phone calls transmitted in your mind, a demon baby sitter and more spooky stories.
I struggled, I honestly struggled I couldn’t personally find anything scary and i was bored during bit of this. These were not spinechilling stories at all to me. They were predictable and I knew exactly what was going on and how they would end, which unfortunately didn’t make them easier to read. I also didn’t find I connected to the characters in anyway either, so it didn’t make me care what happened to them, again such a shame as I love connecting to the characters. I’m so sad as I was really looking forward to this book and being given the creeps but I didn’t get that.
Now this isn’t to to say that a younger reader wouldn’t enjoy them as they probably would, they’d be interested in the spooky goings on with the characters. The storylines were unique in that what was going on with them was different to what you’d normally get, the stories may very well come across spooky to a younger audience so I do feel that these six spooky stories would be received well by children.
I’m so sad with this story as I was really excited to be given the creeps but it failed to do so honestly. I kept hoping one of the stories would be really eerie or creepy but to me they weren’t. It was written well for telling a story, it was a very creative idea and I liked where the story was going and having multiple stories in one, it was really a great idea. I just wish it could have upped the scariness a lot more.
