M.A. Harper - Ghost in the Bedroom.

Hey guys today's review is going to be on the M.A. Harper book "Ghost in the Bedroom". I got this thinking it would be completely different, haunting, scary, a little bit creepy at least.

It definitely was about a haunting but the theme of the book was not creepy in the slightest.

This book is about a woman called Michelle who has two kids Cam and Nicole, after her husband was killed in a car crash, her family are heartbroken. Nicole turns to art, Cam turns in on himself and Michelle ends up meeting a guy, Phil, who has not long been left by his wife.

They end up getting married and moving in together, in a brand new house - with no ties to his prior family or her dead husband. Only thing, her dead husband's presence is all around to the point where Phil is seeing him.

I have to admit this was an odd book for a couple of reasons.

There was a point in the book where Phil mentioned about it being a year since him and Michelle had met, but this was near the end of the book and you'd just spent months with them. Did they really just meet and get married within a few months of meeting?

Also, Phil's ex wife who is now married, has no issues in taking Michelle's kids for the holidays, these kids that have nothing to do with her except they're her ex husband's step kids.

Maybe his ex wife is a nice lady, but I wouldn't take my ex's kids and let them stay over the holidays.

Get over those and it's a good book, it really made you want to find out how it ended, and then it ended. I feel robbed, I just didn't get the ending what-so-ever, it made no sense to me and I felt like a lot of ends were left untied.

If there is going to be another book in this series with these characters then I can understand the ending - somewhat, but I just feel a little lost if it's just a singular book, which is a shame as I was enjoying it - even with it's odd moments.

You can get your own copy on Amazon for £1.93

Hey guys, sorry I'm a bit late with this review, my fibro has been playing up a lot lately so it's taking me a lot longer to finish books - and I've not wrote a blog post in so long due to sheer exhaustion.

I have this and another book review to write today and then I'm caught up with all the books I've read, so really hope this flare goes soon otherwise I'll have no new posts.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it would be creepier than what it was - although it could be because I've read some really scary books which is why this didn't bother me as much, the cover does creep me out though, but it's what attracted me to it. 

Mattie our main character is 16 years old. A foster child who has been moved from family to family since her mother tried to kill her when she was a child. 

Her current foster parents also foster another girl, Sally.

When Mattie is at a party with her friends, she sees Sally in front of her - a gun wound in her head. Mattie sees ghosts.

The book follows Mattie as she communicates with other ghosts, tries to get her foster parents to look for Sally, and her relationship with Dan the cop - who doesn't quite know whether to believe her when she says she sees ghosts.

There are lots of twists and turns in this book, one that makes you to continue reading even when your eyes are protesting wanting sleep. 

This is just the first book in the series, I'm intrigued to find out the next part of Mattie's adventures. 

You can still get this for free on the Kindle.

Hey Guys, I thought I would put these two books in the same review as they are part of the same series.

I reviewed the first book in the series The Summoning a few weeks ago, I've finally gotten around to reading the rest of the series and I'm so glad I did.

The Summoning really had me turning the pages and these follow up books didn't disappoint.
I don't want to say too much about these books in case you haven't read The Summoning yet, as it would be massive spoilers, but if you can get your hands on this series I would recommend it.

These are supposed to be for teens, but some of these books creeped me out, there is one scene in The Awakening where Chloe is near a rest stop shop that's near some woods, that wasn't a scene I should have read at night, I'm woman enough to admit that it played on my mind that night.

This series is really good though, if you like paranormal and fantasy books then I'd highly recommend this series.

You can buy The Awakening and The Reckoning for £5.49 each.
