Darkside by Tom Becker

Published by Scholastic Books

Price £6.99

This is a supernatural suspense thriller, full of unforgettable characters and a dash of gothic horror, complete with glow-in-the-dark-cover.

Jonathan¹s home has been attacked. His dad's in an asylum. He is running for his life but there's nowhere to hide. He stumbles on the city's greatest secret. Incredibly dangerous and unimaginably exciting, Darkside is a place where nightmares walk the streets. He teams up with a private detective who is mad, bad, dangerous to know, but not necessarily human all the time.

I found this both gripping and funny, relentless but also real. This book may be the first of many more Darkside novels. I really do hope so. It had me hooked.
