The Sleepover by Keri Beevis - Book Review

Book Description

When you’re a kid, you imagine monsters to have horns and fangs. That they hide under the bed or in the wardrobe. And you believe they can only come after you when it’s dark.

You don’t expect them to look like everyday people or that they may be someone you already know…

The summer in question started out with hot, fun-filled days and new friendships.

We had just turned thirteen and had our whole lives ahead of us.

But that was before her…

Before we became known as the Hixton Six and our lives become defined by one night.

It’s hard to believe twenty years have passed since she was locked away.

But now she’s free and strange things have started to happen.

When I close my eyes, the creeping anxiety and fear is overwhelming and all too real.

Because the monster is back, and I know she has a score to settle with us.

What I Thought

A group of friends visit Eileen Wickham and her son on a farm during the Summer holidays in 2002. She was supposed to be looking after them. They came away traumatised forever.

Eileen Wickham ended up in prison for 20 years for what she had done that Summer.

Present day – now she is out, and both she and her son Bill want revenge.

The Sleepover is addictive, deeply disturbing and will chill you to the core. It will stay with you afterwards for sure! I can’t recommend this psychological thriller enough – ideal for a scary Halloween read!
