ORDER A.M. SHINE'S CHILLING NEW NOVEL GRACE - OUT NOW!
The spine-chilling, bestselling debut horror novel from A.M. Shine. Now adapted into a major motion picture produced by M. Night Shyamalan.
You can't see them. But they can see you.
This forest isn't charted on any map of Ireland. Every car breaks down at its treeline, and Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced to enter the dark and desolate woods. She discovers a woman shouting, urging her to run.
Mina reaches a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams.
The nightmare is only just beginning.
Mina finds herself trapped in a room with a wall of glass and an electric light that comes on at nightfall. Terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time, for night is when strange and sinister creatures emerge to observe their captive humans.
They are watching your every move...
Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the Watchers, and why are they keeping humans imprisoned, so keen to watch their every move?

Good story, bad dialogue
The story is pretty good until you get to the end. The end isn’t bad, just predictable and flat for a cliffhanger. Take out the ending, and it’s ready for the big screen. The main issue is the dialogue. The way these people talk to each other seems so contrived. At times I can read through it, but other times I’m left wondering if they’re all people or things pretending to be people. Also, can we have a conversation people who think that everything is out to get them? There’s not an intimate object in this book that isn’t actively trying to kill Mina and the gang. Also, we need a better name than yellow one or golden one.
But the story is nice and simple. The twist is satisfying. Good bye.
Horrible!
Seriously, it’s perfect that M. Night’s daughter is directing the film version of this, because this book has all the shallow hallmarks of his recent fare, including the most eye-rolling ending. And if I ever have to read the term “the yellow one” again, I’ll go mad.
It’s not worth it. I’m deleting it from my library so I don’t have to remember it. Skip!!
