"Heather agrees to a group camping holiday with Dougie and his friends because she's desperate to get closer to him. But when the two of them disturb a pagan burial site above the beach, she becomes certain that they have woken a malevolent spirit. Something is alive out there in the pitch-black dark, and it is planning to wreak deadly revenge. One year later Heather knows that she was very lucky to escape Black Cairn Point but she is still waiting for Dougie to wake from his coma. If he doesn't, how will she prove her sanity, and her innocence?"Wow does this story have a plot twist! I am obviously not going to tell you but this one completely shocked and stunned me. I looked like a guppy-fish after reading the end of this book. I have read so many books I can usually predict plots to a certain degree. Well this one caught me off guard.
Just when you think the book is about pagan spirits and legends it turns out to be about something completely different. I enjoyed Heathers unreliable narrating and the flicking between the 2 timelines "then" and "now" which kept me interested and engaged.
To tell you the truth, thriller is not my usual genre but I have to say I really enjoyed this book. It was a face-paced, exiting and quick read. I think it was a good introduction into this genre.
I would say age 11+. Depending how susceptible to scary stories!
Sounds like a good read. Edge of seat stuff.
