Ebony Marshall is in her final year of high school. Five months, two weeks and four days . . . She can't wait to leave the town where she's known only as ‘Black'. Because of her name, of course. But for another reason, too.
Everyone says Black Marshall is cursed.
Three of her best friends have died in tragic accidents. After Oscar, the whispers started. Now she's used to being on her own. It's easier that way.
But when her date for the formal ends up in intensive care, something in quiet little Dainsfield starts to stir. Old secrets are revealed and terrifying new dangers emerge.
If only Black could put all the pieces together, she could work out who her real enemies are. Should she run for her life, or stay and fight?
My Rating: 4.5/5
I read this book over a weekend and if you knew how amazing that is for me you would go and immediately pick this book up. I am a massive sports fan and so weekends are no time for me to pick up a book let alone read an entire one.
Given the author's background as a policewoman and paramedic I find her fascinating as an author especially given she writes about topics she obviously has experienced in some capacity in her careers.
Although her first book Risk was based upon real events more than this one.
This book follows teenage outcast Ebony who after the deaths of a few of her friends the town believe she is cursed and has the devil inside her.
There were times throughout where I wondered whether this book was going to take a supernatural twist but once again it proved that humans are scarier than any other monsters out there.
Ebony was really relatable as she felt very authentic and the way she dealt with her situation felt very believable and likely what I would have done in the same situation.
