Sue's Review -
Bryce Bentley-Tales is a new author for me – and OMG, this story was wonderful!!!
13-year-old Colton and his best friend Jade are looking for twins who had recently disappeared. They are searching for them in an old abandoned house in their hometown in Ireland. This run-down building is said to be haunted – with its wolf statues outside – and then Colton believes that he saw a werewolf. I don’t write spoilers, so I will stop here and say “You really need to read this book!!”
This is an awesome story and a fairly fast read. It’s one that is truly enjoyable.

“I have loved haunted houses for as long as I can remember,” recounts Bentley-Tales. “When I was kid I was hooked on the Scooby crew who were always going into haunted castles, houses, amusement parks, museums. Heck, you name it, it was haunted!” These sweet-scary childhood memories fueled Bentley-Tales’ storytelling in this book, his first YA horror story. And certainly, developing the story through the eyes of a young gay boy allowed the author to offer a special, inclusive point of view. And while masterfully creating tension and fear through the dark fantasy conflict, the navigation of young love is another great strength Bentley-Tales displays. “There’s a part in the story where Erin wants to make Colton jealous by telling him how much attention Dylan is giving her. I get a good chuckle when I re-read it, as it’s such a typical young love triangle!”
