I listened to The Hill in the Dark Grove on Xigxag, narrated wonderfully by Richard Elflyn - he knew just when to ramp up the suspense!

What starts out as a harmless story of an elderly couple eking out an existence as Welsh hill farmers, becomes menacing when Carwyn discovers a prehistoric ruin in one of the fields on their land. He becomes consumed by the need to excavate. His wife Rhian, starts to realise that her husband is not well - he’s becoming a frightening, obsessed stranger.

The ancient stones that he digs up, take on a life of their own, influencing Carwyn, making him sick. This is a really spooky, unnerving book - there are some seriously scary parts later in the book, and probably best not read before bed (although the dreams are interesting!).

I loved this, and I can’t wait to see what Ian Higginson has in store for us next!

We’ve seen films before that takes us into the world of social media such as Friend Request, but with HOST we are taken into the world of horror via the paranormal horror of a séance and let’s face it in all the films we’ve seen where these things take place they aren’t going to go well.

HOST starts with everyone logging in one by one on Zoom and catching up with each other about how they are doing during the lockdown with them having fun chats with filters, talking about others before they log in ready for the night of some scary stuff.

If you have ever been on a seance or a ghost hunt, which believe me can send chills down your spine, will now that sometimes there is always one that has to try to wind everyone up and it’s not good to mess with the spirits, but when Jemma pulls a prank about the schoolboy it’s time to get the spook on!

What it’s about:
Sisters is about July and September, born 10 months apart and as close as twins. They’ve only ever needed each other. But when school bullying results in them moving away with their mother to an abandoned house on the Yorkshire coast, their relationship starts to fracture. And as they push one another to do increasingly daring things, July starts to realise that something isn’t quite right.

My thoughts:
I love a quirky read, and Sisters is exactly that. I was never quite sure what July and September were going to do next, and their demands of each other were at times really dangerous. They are very insular and don’t seems to want anyone else involved in their relationship - even their mother. Even the house they live in is unfriendly, set in a hostile environment.
This isn’t a scary book at all, but it’s packed with suspense and there’s a really uncomfortable, disorientating atmosphere.
I loved it.
