Perfect spooky YA!

I really really REALLY don’t know why it took me so long before I read ‘The ghost tree’ by Christina Henry.

I bought it when it came out and I kept saving it for later.

Because I wanted to read only spooky and creepy books this year in October, I finally picked it up.

And I LOVED it!

I fell in love with the writing style of Christina. It’s smooth and she has the ability to take you on a interesting journey.

The characters were absolutely interesting and had the right amount of depth.

Besides a creepy setting, a curse and a first love, friendship is also a theme in this story.

We see main character Lauren struggling with growing up as a young woman and her search for her place in this world. Her friendship with her best friend Miranda is under pressure, so there were a lot of emotions in this story.

I really loved the development of Lauren.

Christina definitely knows how to write a creepy story including young adults' everyday problems.

This was my first spooky book of this month and I loved it!

The setting in a dark wood, a gruesome history, a curse and a small town full of people suffering from amnesia.

A perfect October read if you ask me!
