I
was torn between loving and just liking this novel. The book was a
scary and engrossing read but, some parts moved very slowly. I liked how
the author included illustrations and changed the formatting of the
text on pages. For example, when someone was knocking on the door, the
words "Bang, Bang, Bang" gradually grew larger as the person grew more
impatient. I felt like it added to the mood and made me feel like I was
witnessing the events unfold with the characters. Overall, I enjoyed
reading the novel and I can't wait to read the next book by the author.

About Dawn:
Dawn Kurtagich is an
award winning author of creepy, spooky, and psychologically sinister YA, where
girls may descend into madness, boys may see monsters in men, and grown-ups may
have something to hide.
Her debut novel, THE
DEAD HOUSE, was a YALSA Top 10 Pick, An Audie Award Nominee and an Earphone
Award Winner. It has been optioned for TV by Lime Productions. She is also the
author of THE CREEPER MAN / AND THE TREES CREPT IN, NAIDA and the forthcoming
TEETH IN THE MIST, published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers and Orion
Children's Books. If you enjoy a creeping chill along your spine, mystery and
little bit of terror, then you're in the right place!
By the time she was
eighteen, she had been to fifteen schools across two continents. The daughter
of a British globe-trotter and single mother, she grew up all over the place,
but her formative years were spent in Africa—on a mission, in the bush, in the
city and in the desert.
She has been lucky
enough to see an elephant stampede at close range, a giraffe tongue at very
close range, and she once witnessed the stealing of her (and her friends’)
underwear by very large, angry baboons. (This will most definitely end up in a
book . . . ) While she has quite a few tales to tell about the jumping African
baboon spider, she tends to save these for Halloween!
When she was sixteen,
she thought she'd be an astronomer and writer at the same time, and did a
month-long internship at Cambridge's prestigious Cavendish Laboratories.
Dawn vlogs on her
youtube channel and can be found hanging around Twitter and Instagram.
