Daemon Hall

im back! after like 2 mins. XD now this book is very unique to me. Divya M was reading it and i found that it suites my taste of horrors alot. a famous horror author named Ian Tremblin i think.. is holding a competition for budding young authors to get a book published. you get into the draw by writing a horror story and the top 5 will spend the night at a haunted house and the last one standing will win. its practically a bunch of horror stories in 1 book but there is quite a good poem that is spread through out and this really pulled me in:


"Five little finalists waiting at the door,

One went down a hole and then there were four.

Four little finalists, plain for all to see,

One was dragged into the night and then there were three.

Three little finalists made up this hearty crew,

One was forced to walk the plank and then there were two.

Two little finalists, one went on the run,

screamed and tripped and broke a neck and then there was one.

The last little finalist almost had it won,

poor thing went insane and then there were none."


this really pulled me in!! the horror stories arent to bad to be honest but i think that it could have been more about the plot instead of the stories (atleast half the book was stories by far) but they werent too bad. i would give this a 7/10 due to the vast amount of stories and little plot there. also i kinda figured out what was going to happen after the stories were though. (i think i know horror way 2 much. the same happen to me with movies)

Changeling: Discover The Beast Within


this book is about a boy named trey whos parents died in a "car accident" and we all know that means they were murdered. could have guessed that a mile off sadly D= well he has been living in a care home when he wakes up one morning to find his room completly TRASHED! he thinks that someone broke in and the head care man thinks he did it. hes been living in this home becaus ehe has no family until his uncle Lucien comes for a visit. his uncle has this special power and has a bad allergy to sunlight. eventually trey finds out his uncle Lucien (total vamp name) is a vamp and hes actually the last of hereditary werewolves. he must learn to control his power to save humanity!! this book is quite a good book and i recommend reading it. 8/10 points lost because it was quite typical for this kind of book.

btw could we PLEASE get the 2nd book in?? its called dark moon. we have the 1st (this 1) and the 3rd (blood wolf) but not the 2nd! could we PLEEEAAASSSEEE get it in??
