Do you believe in ghosts? Billy Barringer certainly does. His most prized possession is his copy of “The Giant Book of Ghosts, Spirits and Spooks” and he is desperate to find proof of their existence.
His best friend, Ethan Marsh, thinks he’s a weirdo for believing in them.
One night, when the two of them are camping, Billy goes missing. 30 years later, strange things start happening to Ethan. Could it be the ghost of Billy? And is he coming back as friend, or foe?
I’m not a great fan of supernatural thrillers, so I was a bit disappointed there was nothing in the blurb as I probably wouldn’t have picked this book, had I known.
There’s some nice little twists here and there, but I feel like it didn’t quite hit the crescendo it should have. I think the characters fell a bit flat, although I did love little Henry, I feel he was the only character that I really had a clear picture of.
Overall, it was too slow and a little repetitive for me.
Thank you to Netgalley and Hodder & Stoughton for my advanced copy
