Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell

The Ouija board brings up a lot towards the plot and all the snippets spoken are enough to lead us to various scenario's which lay ahead for us.

Rebecca had a terrible accident. She fell down the cliff around their house and broke her leg, thus freezing to her death as it had snowed. The story surrounding Rebecca's death is very intricate and woven into the whole story right from the start of the book, she had an obsession with an old folk ballad about a girl called Charlotte whom froze to death and Rebecca collected the dolls of her after she found them in the basement of their home they now live in.

They were previously owned by the Edwardian school children and one of their girls died from the window, falling.

In this creepy thriller horror story we witnessing how unpredictable dolls can be when they come to life and have their own minds of was a gripping tale which was suspenseful and shocking and I'd love to see this as a film one day!

You Wish by Mandy Hubbard

Kayla is about to turn sixteen and have a party thrown by her ever working mum whom doesn't listen to what she wants.

Nicole is her best friend only now she's too busy dating Kayla's secret crush Ben to notice and turn up to the party.

Janae is Kayla's nemesis at school, everything she isn't and will never be, so when she turns up at the party with her mum Kayla's angry and in disbelief.

When she wishes her past wishes will come true, she's not disappointed, when she wakes the next morning her life changes for the next week as endless gumballs, Raggedy Ann and Barbies Ken all appear in her life as well as some other shocking things too. However despite the awkward situations that follow, by the end we see in retrospect her wishes coming true have kind of some her a favour in some cases.

It was such a fun read! I read it in one day as I was so hooked on to the action about what the next wish would be, would relationships and friendships break or not etc, it was a total girly read and if you want a laugh this book will give you that with the bizarre situations that happen!

Amy Chelsea Stacie Dee by Mary G Thompson

Amy and Dee are cousins two years apart when they get taken from by their local river and are hidden away in a woods in a secluded cabin with their captor, Kyle.

Only years on, Amy is now back and finding her way home aged sixteen and now preferring to be called Chelsea, after that is what her captor called her for so many years.

Meanwhile, Lee, Dee's older sister and her mum push for answers about what happened to Dee whilst we see through Amy's flashbacks just what happened to her and what the pair endured while being captured and unable to be free.

I thoroughly loved this book and the creepy doll mystery around Kyle and why he took and what he did to the girls during their lost years. It built up the mystery and kept me hooked on discovering everything. One of the best YA mystery books!
