Pretty good once you get into the plot... But in the beginning you kind of feel like you're thrown into something without explanation.

Very sweet and touching! Lovely lovely story that builds on reality!
Let the Right One inLet the Right One in by John Ajvide Lindqvist

Disturbing, not becuase of the bloody horror, but because of the pedofilia... Which is way more terrifying to me than any gore! But this is completely unputdownable! Great read!!!

Ghost Hunter: Bk. 6 (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness)Ghost Hunter: Bk. 6 (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness) by Michelle Paver
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £5.21
A nice end to the series, although I am dissapointed in how Torak fights off Eostra in the end. Too short, too quick and too simple. Could easily have spent more time on describing that.
Pure Dead MagicPure Dead Magic by Debi Gliori
Buy new: £3.99 / Used from: £0.01
Alittle TOO whimsical... too much oddities going on to be any kind of fun... I wasn't impressed.... sadly.
