The Slaughter Man By Cassandra Parkin
Paperback published by Legend Press 16th September 2019
When her identical twin Laurel dies, seventeen-year-old Willow’s life falls apart. With her parents’ marriage faltering, she finds escape at her uncle Joe’s cottage. But even as they begin to know each other, Willow is plagued with memories of her sister. Then, Lucas arrives in her life – troubled, angry and with a dangerous past.
Joe’s cottage is idyllic, but the forest is filled with secrets. What is Joe hiding from her? What events have brought Lucas to her door? And who is the Slaughter Man who steals through Willow’s sleep?
As the Lines between dreams and reality become blurred, Willow’s torment deepens. It seems as if her only escape lies with the Slaughter Man.
MY REVIEW
A dark and haunting book. What delightful news, Cassandra Parkin is shortlisted for Amazon Rising Star Award. I’m so pleased this is happening to author Cassandra Parkin as she is a popular female fiction author, with an established backlist of books, many of them I’m proud to say that I have read, my favourites have to be Lily’s House and The Summer We All Ran Away. If you like reading Isabel Ashdown and Lisa Ballantyne you will like reading novels by Cassandra Parkin.
