Have you ever been genuinely scared to turn the first page of a book? What if that book came with an envelope full of victim profiles of murdered werewolves, a newspaper clipping about a serial killer and the book itself was wrapped in an ominous black ribbon? Neither had I. Until I received Amie Jordan’s modern murder mystery fantasy novel All The Hidden Monsters. Welcome to the Downside, a hidden world of werewolves, warlocks, poltergeists and other supernatural creatures.
When her supernatural friend, Lucy, is found dead in the Upside (human world), werewolf Sage joins Oren, the unfeeling, powerful warlock to avenge her friend’s murder. This is not a ghost story and it’s not going to keep you lying awake at night terrified of the shadows on your wall. It will keep you up because you won’t be able to put it down, because maybe the next page will hold the final clue. Instead it twists, turns and throws your detective work into disarray so you keep turning every page of this perfect mix of supernatural thriller, humour and romance until it’s over.
