The house of memories by Benjamin Hulme-Cross
Dark Hunter series. A & C Black, 2013. ISBN
9781408180518.
Highly recommended for boys aged 10+. Dark Hunter - The House of
Memories is the first book in this new series about ghosts,
monsters and demons. Readers step straight into the story on the
first page where they meet Mr. Blood, Edgar and Mary. Mr. Blood
leaves the children at the old house where they meet a scary old
woman who seems to know a lot about them. What does she want? Will
Edgar and Mary finally learn things about their past? Will they come
out alive?
At 55 pages long with half pages of text, Dark Hunter is a
quick moving story with a spooky climax sure to make anyone squeal
but it is over quickly - this could be good for those more reluctant
readers but disappointing for book lovers who just want more! Highly
recommended for boys aged 10+, especially if they like to be
spooked!
