About the Author:

Zoé O’Farrell grew up in Watford but left the town life to live by the sea down at the White Cliffs of Dover.
She spends her days working with numbers before escaping in the evening to the world of words and movies. Her go-to relaxation is watching a scary movie or reading a terrifying book!

She is a book blogger and tour organiser just to keep her extra busy. When she is not reading or writing, you can usually find her watching Watford FC or at a gig. Failing that she can be found rolling her eyes at her husband as he acts the same age as her spitfire of a Mini-Me whilst separating her two cats.

Ouija Review:

“Ouija” is the second book in the “Question Mark Horror” series, and I enjoyed it even more than the first book.

This book has classic teen horror all over it. A group of kids who accidentally unleash something dangerous when they play with an Ouija board? The plot hooked me in from the synopsis itself, and I could not put it down. The author did a fantastic job in creating and maintaining the horror. I was at the edge of my seat as soon as the planchette moved in the Ouija Board.

Moreover, the author maintains the horror and suspense in the characters’ lives even after that fateful night. After reading this book, I feel skeptical just stepping into an empty school hallway. Also, I thought many supporting characters in “Camp Death” made it confusing to follow at times in the previous book. However, in this book, we have a distinctive number of people that make the story gripping. The author also includes shocking deaths that you don’t expect, which make the tale thrilling.

Speaking of characters, the author wrote them all perfectly. I also appreciate how the author gave Equal time for all the characters. Each of them faces something terrifying, like Caley’s reaction when she sees Ruby, what Sophie witnesses in the bathroom, or when Ben sees the dark shape and gets premonitions. The romance crushes between the characters were also fun, like how Jon is protective towards Lara and Sophie and Lara’s feelings for Simon.

Overall, “Ouija” is a beautiful addition to the series, and I cannot wait to read more installments.
