Monster | C J Skuse
3 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
At sixteen Nash thought that the fight to become Head Girl of prestigious boarding school Bathory would be the biggest battle she'd face. Until her brother's disappearance leads to Nash being trapped at the school over Christmas with Bathory's assorted misfits. As a blizzard rages outside, strange things are afoot in the school's hallways, and legends of the mysterious Beast of Bathory - a big cat rumoured to room the moors outside the school - run wild. Yet when the girls' Matron goes missing it's clear that something altogether darker is to blame - and that they'll have to stick together if they hope to survive. Praise for C J Skuse 'CJ does it again, with a boarding school story packed with tension...Nobody captures the darkness of teenage nightmares quite like CJ Skuse.' - Sophia Bennett, author of The Look 'Fiendishly dark, with a sense of humour. CJ Skuse always inspires deep author envy' - Keren David, YA Book Prize Nominee on Monster 'It's so good, I'd recommend it to people I don't like' - Kevin Brooks on Pretty Bad Things 'A rip roaring story' - Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian on Rockoholic 'sharp, funny and knowing...' - The Telegraph on Rockoholic 'The tension and the comedy crack along with a heart-warming hilarity that is impossible to resist.' Amanda Craig, The Times on Dead Romantic 'It's an absolute page-turner! I gobbled it up in one sitting, and it kept me guessing right till the end. A deliciously creepy horror story, served up with CJ's trademark humour.' - Cat Clarke.

Mehso-so

Another one off my TBR mountain.

It starts off as pretty much your usual mean girls vying to be Head Girl but with way too much slut-shaming. About halfway through the actual mystery/paranormal side picks up and it‘s not bad. If the first half had been more like the second, it would have been a better book. Great cover though. 3⭐️

Boarding school stories are the best. This is twisty all the way through meaning I couldn't put it down. #ukya
