Ouija by Zoé-Lee O'Farrell
4.0
This is the second in the QMP young adult horror series, but you don't have to worry, each story is self-contained and can be read in any order you feel like.
I absolutely love stories that have spirits or evil entities in them, so Ouija, I knew as soon as I read the description it was going to be right up my street.
Ouija is Zoé-Lee O'Farrell's debut novel and what a debut it is!
The story follows six friends who decide to go to an abandoned school, the scene of a tragedy a year earlier, to hold a seance with a Ouija board. It's clear from the outset that there is something wrong in the school, but this doesn't stop them. During the seance something goes wrong and they summon something they really shouldn't have. Something that's determined to see them dead.
Ouija was such an enjoyable ride of a story, packed with plenty of creepy goings on, tension and plenty of teen angst along the way.
Like the previous novel in the series, there's that air of nostalgia for me, because it really reminded me of the Point Horror books I grew up reading back in the nineties.
I felt there were a few things that weren't quite explained fully, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment of the novel overall.
Ouija is a short and spooky read that had me gripped from start to finish.
