My Review:
Wow wow wow, what an amazing book. I have read every book this author has written and in my opinion he is just getting better and better. Matt is one of those author’s that I’ll happily preorder without even having read the blurb as I know it will be amazing!
Firstly I loved how topical this book is, it seemed very realistic and true to life especially due to the recent abuse cases in the papers. The main character, and the accused, Crystal was a very interesting character who I kept changing my opinion of. He came across very well in his interviews and seemed so charming and just genuine that is hard to believe him capable of the things he is accused of. I actually found myself liking him despite a few doubts which confused me.
Of course being a Six Stories book things aren’t as simple as they first appear and I really enjoyed the supernatural/folklore element that Matt weaves into the story. It made me very keen not to be on my own in the dark as I was convinced that there was something lurking there. Some of the descriptions were very chilling and I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat (my husband actually had to ask me if I was ok at one point) as I read. The stories seemed so real and I therefore found it very difficult to put down as I had to keep reading to find out what happened.
The story starts off slow as the author sets the scene and introduces the reader to the case but soon picks up and becomes very fast paced. The book is very well written and had me questioning how I felt about what was happening, or has happened in the news recently which I thought was interesting. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future and hope that it’s not too long to wait until another addition of Six Stories.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Orenda for my copy of this book, though I did also treat myself to a paperback copy on publication too (well I had to complete the set).
