A review by nics_books
Blackout by Emily Barr

4.0

So I randomly walked into my local library, trying to kill some time before going to the cinema, and this quick read fell into my hands. The cover and the tag line hooked me instantly. I went upstairs and sat in a quiet corner and was completely transported for a couple of hours into the anxiety-induced world of Sophie Mayes.

This was superbly written and I could envisage every moment of panic, horror and mystery. It’s got a rather simple narrative at its core, but executed in a way you would never expect. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would love to read more of Emily Barr’s work in the future.

Not a bad choice for a random read!
