The Chase

I'm really sorry that I couldn't write any post for awhile I was cleaning the house we will probably be moving soon.Putting that aside I managed to read The Chase.The Chase is the second book of the series The Forbidden Game.The book is set place about three month after the first book.

The good
.This time the book concentrate more about the story
.Shows more about the characters life.

The bad
.It doesn't have any parts that make you feel that you're reading a horror book(the first book had it)
.Didn't like the ending

Quick summary
Jenny and her friends try to explain to the police about Summer's disappearence but the police thought they were taking drugs and imagined all that so they decided to just keep quiet.Jenny met a girl she was PC and Slug's friend(The thugs who took the game in the first book)PC and Slug was missing as well the girl told Jenny that after they brought the game in her home they disappered.Jenny is afraid that they are dead and Julian is now free.Julian meets Jenny in the night and decided to play another game with Jenny and her friends...................That all for now.

The conclusion
The Chase is a brilliant and a disappointment to me at the same time.It shows the character's personality and social life more but it didn't have the suprise elements like the first one.It doesn't make you want to buy the third one even if it has a cliffhanger ending(which I think could have done better)But I did love the toilet scene.Overall It's not such a bad book eventhough it's not that good too.

The Hunter

Hello everybody today I'm reviewing a book called the hunter but probably a lot of people had already read the book since it was published more than 15 years ago.The Hunter is a book written by L.J Smith it was published in 1994 it is the first book of the series The Forbidden Game.

The Good
.It is an easy read(Some book I find it very difficult to read without feeling bored or like the Blaze of Glory,Amber Spyglass or the Graveyard Book)
.Loved the characters especially Dee.

The bad
.I hoped there was more horror I mean I was expecting some gruesome death or something(not that I like that very much but when you read the first three chapters you quickly think about a scary movie where a group of teenages being stalked by something,normally in the ending we are left with only 2 or to 3 person but in this book this was not the case)
.It was too short it could show more about the characters darkest fear.

Quick Summary
Jenny wants to buy something for Tom's(her borfriend)birthday so she went to a rough part of town becxause she doesn't wants her friend to see her.Then she noticed two thugs following her so she quickly enters a store to avoid them.She then realized that she is in a game shop so she buys a board game from a stranger with blue eyes.When she arrived at home she saw Dee and Audrey(het two best friend)They were helping...........................That is all for now.

The conclusion
The Hunter is a good book not he best but a plain and easy book.If you love L.J Smith work you will love these.I hoped there were more horror scene or any part that makes you feel filled with suspense but sadly there were almost none.There book had some great ideas and characters but sadly id didn't quite reach it's potential.

The Shadow of Malbron

Hello everybody I'm back and this week I read a book called The Shadow of Malabron is written by Thomas Wharton.It is the first book of the series The Perilous Realm and the only one that has been written.It was published in 2008.

The good
.Brilliant cast of characters.
.Great story with plenty of adventure and suprises.

The bad
.It gets annoying on how much Will gets into trouble.

Quick summary
Will Ran away using his dad motorcycle and when he crashed he magically enters another world where legend and myth are true he encounters a girl name Rowen and her grandfather Pendrake.To search for more information to get back home Will search the library there he found a wolf named Shade............................If you want to know what happens buy the book

The conclusion
The Shadow of Malabron is a very good book it has amazing character(My favourites are Will and Finn)plenty of adventures and some suprises.The Ending is simple but it does make me wonder what will happen in the second book(which has not bee published yet)I hope the second book will come real soon.
