I'm sorry this is a SERIES???? oh no...
A great spooky ghost story! Maybe I scare easy but parts of this book had my skin absolutely crawling. VERY scary!

This is the first horror book I've ever read, and I did enjoy it. However I thought the middle was a little bit slow at some points, and there are some unanswered questions in the end. The climax had me on the edge of my seat, and overall it was a great read!

Frozen Charlotte is a compelling and unnerving read set primarily on a remote Scottish island - from the first page, I was gripped. When our heroine Sophie's best friend dies after a spooky encounter with her dead cousin via a ouija board, Sophie is sent to stay with relatives to cope with her grief. However, she soon becomes convinced she's brought her cousin's vengeful spirit back into the old house, which is filled with creepy dolls who appear to mean her harm...
I really like the way the old folk song of Frozen Charlotte (the foolish girl after whom the dolls are named) was woven in through the chapter headers. However, I didn't really see how that story related to the dolls and I was left mystified as to their origin and the story behind their creation... Nevertheless, this is a really enjoyable book for younger horror fans, scary without quite crossing over into disturbing.

I absolutely loved this delicious, creepy read! All the perfect elements of a spook story complete with eerie, porcelain antique dolls.
