Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

5.0

This is my absolute favourite book of the entire series. It’s so dark in places, in fact quite creepy, but the flashbacks to the past in which we learn so much about Voldemort or should I say Tom Riddle are absolutely absorbing. Everything seems to be at risk here and you just don’t know what will happen next, nothing, and no one seems to be safe anymore. There is also a touch of romance, and not just for Harry, which helps to lighten things, but the tension in this book is palpable and it really isn’t one you can put down.
