This Young Adult Horror novel didn’t disappoint. I’ve always loved ghost stories, and I’ve always dreamed of sleeping in and exploring a big, strange building together with friends. With ‘HORROSTÖR’ Grady Hendrix finally made that dream … no, NIGHTMARE come into reality! Go to IKEA before you read ‘HORRORSTÖR’, then read the novel, in or with your new creepy furniture. 😉 (mere…)
(Spoiler Alert! Second book in a series.) Reed is finally a Billings Girl and is ready to live the glamorous life – or so she thinks. Thomas is still missing, her new roommate is blackmailing her and apparently, everyone seems to be talking about this party called ‘The Legacy’ which Reed has no idea what is. ‘Invitation Only’ takes place a couple of days after ‘Private’ and it left me speechless. It is so much darker than ‘Private’ and the plot is so well put together, that I forgot I was reading the book and actually thought, that I was in the book. (mere…)

‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ is the story about the sensitive 15-year-old boy, Charlie, who starts in High School. As a reader I felt like I had a bigger role in this book because of the personal writing style and that is something I have never experienced before. But at the same time I cannot say that ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ has reached my list of favorite books. (mere…)
I cannot stress enough that ‘Alice in Zombieland’ is not a retelling of ‘Alice in Wonderland’! But nonetheless, I loved how the zombies were this kind of spirits, which you had to fight in spirit form, because it’s something I’ve never seen before and it worked great. In addition all the persons in this book felt so genuine and I wanted to be Alice because of her confident and strong personality, and also so I could get her lovely friends and family. (mere…)

I really enjoyed reading Hannah Jayne’s ’Truly, Madly, Deadly’. I had a hard time putting the book down, once I started reading it. I needed to know, what had really happened the night Sawyer’s boyfriend was killed. But even though it was a really great book, I still missed being dragged through the entire range of emotions. (mere…)
After I finished reading the Divergent trilogy and I found out that Veronica Roth also had written ‘Four’, my only thought was that I had to read that book, because I needed to learn more about Tobias. (mere…)
I decided to read ‘The Haunting of Hill House’, because I really love Jan de Bonts movie remake ‘The Haunting’ from 1999 of Shirley Jacksons novel from 1959.
But after reading the book, I must admit that the spiced up story in the new movie is far better than original story and the first movie from 1963. (mere…)
Sara Crowe’s debut novel ‘Bone Jack’ is about the 14 year old boy, Ash, who is going to be the Stag boy in the annual Stag chase to make his dad, who has just returned from war with post traumatic stress disorder, proud of him.
