Bought

I made a trip to Hay-on-Wye yesterday, the famous town of second-hand bookshops and I picked up a few crime novels as well as:

I wasn't able to find #1 in this series - Allie's Ghost Hunters - but picked up #2 and #3. I'm not sure which age range the series is aimed at:

Eustace by Catherine Jinks (Case #2)
After Allie's last experience with a ghost, she thought she was finally free of phantoms in her life - but that was before she went on a school trip to Hill End and found herself investigating several more of them. First there is the ghost of Granny Evans, pacing around the museum. Then she comes upon Eustace Harrow, possibly the ghost of a baby long dead, smashing things up in Taylor's cottage. When two of her classmates disappear, Allie realizes that things have gotten much more serious, and she must take action.

Eloise by Catherine Jinks (Case #3)
Playing about with ghosts can be dangerous and Alethea needs all her detective skills, and the help of her friends, to solve the mystery of Eloise. Alethea and her friends started the Exorcist Club to help Bettina's family, but a two-hour seance doesn't work and they decide to call in a psychic.

Perfect by Sara Shepard (#3 in the Pretty Little Liars series)
Spencer, Aria, Emily, Hanna and their best friend Alison were the most popular girls at Rosewood Day School. Alison was the group's ringleader, the one who knew all their darkest secrets. So when Alison vanished one night, Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna's grief was tinged with relief. But when Ali's body was later discovered in her own backyard, the girls were forced to unearth some ugly memories of their old friend, too. Is there more to Alison's death than anyone realises? Now someone named A, someone who seems to know everything, is pointing the finger for Ali's murder at one of them. And A is poised to ruin their perfect little lives ...for ever.



Review

I won this House of Night bag on twitter and in the same lot of post, a copy of Burned arrived!

Burned by P C & Kristin Cast (#7 in series) (no synopsis as it seems a bit spoilery, I've linked to it on amazon.)
