Where do I start? Well, I should probably tell you that when I read the blurb and the first page, I wasn't convinced, but as I got deeper into the story I couldn't put it down.

It took me hardly any time to read, because it was so engaging and I grew to worry about the characters, wonder what was going to happen next, and I couldn't resist reading late into the night and scaring myself (because there are a few scary images that this book conjures in your head).

It's about a girl called Estelle who is staying alone in a cottage when unnatural things start happening. It starts as a few small events but escalates, and when Estelle's old friend Sandor enters the scene, they realise that their attackers are something never seen before: they are living shadows. These shadows eat, touch and kill. Estelle and Sandor have to battle this army of light absence and their creators, but how can you do that when whenever you take a break, a monster appears?

I can't say it enough: I loved this book! I am certainly going to read it again sometime. I don't usually read books again but this has to be an exception. Alex Woolf has thought of an amazing plot and together with amazing writing, they form Soul Shadows.
