YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Enter a gothic story of madness and cruelty, where the bonds of sibling loyalty are tested to the grave and beyond.

High on the hill, Cavington Hall lurks like a beast surveying its territory. Spoken of in hushed whispers, it is home to Doctor Charles Cavington, last of a family cursed by genius and insanity in equal parts. It has now become home to twelve year old Apple. A run-away, she is forced into the doctor's service as payment for saving her brother's life.

While Apple struggles to cope with her loneliness and isolation, the mysteries surrounding Doctor Cavington are growing. What exactly is his interest in the two siblings? Is there any truth to his strange tales of Guardians and Reapers, ethereal figures he claims are responsible for dealing with the souls of the dead?

And what is making that thumping noise in the locked nursery at night?

Usually people start around the start date, which for this book is April 17th, but you have 4 weeks to complete the review.

To get your copy of the book you need to send me a message on goodreads, with your email address that you want the book sending to, and which format you need - so mobi for kindle, epub for nook etc. and then I'll send all the email addresses to the author ☺

Does that help? ☺

Yes:)

Hey guys, getting ready to send email addresses to the author.

Gigi - I need your email address and preferred format please.

Jamie - I need you to write a review for one of the other two books that you have before I can send out a copy of this.

Thanks!

32% (view spoiler)[ well their father is going to have a lot of work to do on his own without Skye. I'm slightly surprised that they kicked him out for that reason. and with apple gone too, he might be a bit shorthanded! (hide spoiler)]

36% (view spoiler)[ a guardian angel? really?! (hide spoiler)]

43% (view spoiler)[ just what? he's performed a miracle, skye is alive, and she must never open a wooden box? well that's bound to make her want to open it. i want to open it! or x-ray it. (hide spoiler)]

52% (view spoiler)[ what is going on? what is with the weird noises? (hide spoiler)]

10% (view spoiler)[I was a little confused as to the time period. The kids seem to act younger than their actual ages. Unsure how Pip got the nickname Apple. Glad Skye pulled through. (hide spoiler)]

17% (view spoiler)[He shouldn't of let her go with him. They have little food and no water either, plus Skye is still weak. (hide spoiler)]

27% (been busy, so I am slow) (view spoiler)[eww..gruesome. (hide spoiler)]

11% (view spoiler)[ i was excited skye was getting better but im annoyed he took his little sister with him when he left (hide spoiler)]
