Thanks for stopping by! I’m so thrilled to be sharing my review for Ouija by Zoé-Lee O’Farrell as part of the blog tour today. This book is brilliant, Zoé. So a big thank you for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy 😘❤️ I decided to include Ouija in my books of summer list so this is also book nineteen of my challenge. First things first let’s take a look at the description for the book…

The only thing for certain is the deaths were no accident.

Something wants to get out and won’t take NO for an answer…

MY REVIEW

If you are a regular visitor to my blog you may have heard me say this before but basically I’m big scaredy-cat. The thing is I didn’t used to be. I started off being a big fan of Point Horror in my early teens then went on to love horror films as a teenager. Nowadays I’m the hide behind the cushion type of person when watching a scary film. Even more so if there is a supernatural element. However let’s be honest there’s no way of hiding when reading a book. I guess I wasn’t quite sure what to expect on the scare factor when I first picked up Ouija. However within a short space of time this book officially CREEPED me out! I’m just glad I started reading it in the day.

There’s a little bit of everything in Ouija designed to make those chills creep up your spine. A Ouija board is already a pretty scary concept without the extra special scares this book had in store for me. From menacing figures in the shadows to sinister movements from the corner of your eye. Even the chilling feel of a breath skating across the back of your neck. Right, I’m going to stop there. I think I’m officially creeping myself out writing this review!

The pacing was great throughout and I couldn’t help but race through. Although I wasn’t quite sure what awaited me whenever I turned the page. Or should I say I wasn’t quite sure what would jump out at me next. I’m looking at you, Ruby! The characters are pulled into a scary and deadly situation albeit by their own hands. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. They had their flaws but there was a great mix of personalities within this group. From the quiet and serious to the more outgoing and confident ones. There were also the typical horror moments where I wanted to shout out “no, don’t do that” which obviously the characters ignore.

Ouija is a fabulous debut filled with a brilliant combination of chilling, tense and entertaining moments. I can’t wait to see what is coming next from Zoé-Lee O’Farrell. Whatever it is I’ll probably be left looking over my shoulder and wanting to keep the lights on!
