I knew my fear of bug-eyed aliens was still dormant somewhere in there, but I really thought I'd made it past being bothered by dolls until reading this book.

Although dubious about this book at the beginning – mainly due to the plot device of using a Ouija-board app ( yes, app) to invoke the ghost that the whole plot hinges on – I ended up actually rather enjoying this creepy tale.Frozen Charlotte is a perfect example of why I so frequently say that horror written for kids and teens is often much scarier (and darker) than it's given credit for.

The truly horrifying YA books really get to me, and i keep thinking something or someONE is going to creep up on me and kill me or something! Some of the chapters were a little overly long for my taste, which meant the book was little slow to start off with but the pacing definitely got better in the latter half of the book.The main character started this adventure so she'd find out what exactly happened when her best friend died and I don't feel like she did. Brooding Cameron with his scarred hand, strange Lilias with a fear of bones and Piper, who seems just a bit too good to be true. I hate dolls still and now let’s add these to the creepy bit with those missing head, limbs and such. Alex Bell’s chilling novel is part of the Red Eye series, perfect for fans of Juno Dawson’s Say Her Name and Kendare Blake’s Anna Dressed in Blood.
