WELCOME BACK TO READER ROUND UP

   Good evening my peeps , its novel week and I lost count on the days . Today I have for you NINE CANDLES OF DEEPEST BLACK  by Matthew S Cox . 


                         BOOK BLURB



 She saw it coming. She knew it would happen―but no one believed her.

Almost a year after tragedy shattered her family, sixteen-year-old Paige Thomas can’t break free from her guilt. Her mother ignores her, doting on her annoying little sister, while her father is a barely-functioning shell. He hopes a move to the quiet little town of Shadesboro PA will help them heal, but Paige doesn’t believe in happiness anymore.

On her first day at school, a chance encounter with a bullied eighth grader reawakens a gift Paige had forgotten, and ingratiates her into a pack of local outcasts. For weeks, they’ve been trying to cast a ritual to fulfill their innermost desires, but all they’ve done is waste time. After witnessing Paige touch the Ouija board and trigger a paranormal event, the girls are convinced another try with their new fifth member will finally work.

Once the darkness is unleashed, it’s not long before they learn it will give them exactly what they asked for―whether they want it or not.

                       MY REVIEW
   After a year and a move to a new town. Paige is still having guilt over what happened to her older sister., her mother ignores her and spends all her time with her little sister,  her dad is barely hanging on and Paige just doesn't want to be there in that town. On her first day of school she meets a girl who is being bullied and some friends that are outcasts . They try and do some magic to give them their innermost desires . Until one day Paige touches the Ouija board and something dark comes back and when the darkness is unleashed and the girls get what they want even if they didn't want it . Will they survive the darkness and come out the other side unharmed . 
  Paige is a sweet girl who can sense when things can happen . She is carrying a lot of guilt with her as she knew what was going to happen before it happened about her sister dying. Noone believed her at the time. She is honestly a lot stronger then she realizes and when push comes to shove she will stand up to the darkness that is coming for them all. Her friends range from Renee to Mackenzie and they are all sweet but have had some hard times in their young lives . Each character is very well written and complex . You really just want to wrap them up in a warm blanket and hug them tight. 
   This is one of those books it is a ya story but anyone could read it. It has twists and turns that had me on the edge of your seat. The author crafts a tale that will give you the goose bumps . It so reminds me of a combination of Pretty Little liars and the Craft the way the girls are and what they do to survive. I really like the way this author writes . So if you want a book that will have you up late into the night and your teen will love it too.
