Did you read The Whisper Man last year? I really enjoyed it, so I was excited when I finally picked up Alex North’s follow up novel..
The Shadows features four teenage boys. Charlie is kind of the leader of the pack and he’s one of those kids who is up to no good. He has murdered, disappeared, and twenty five years later, a copycat had been inspired by Charlie. The other boys in the group are mostly eager to please and go along with Charlie and his creepy dreams.
It may not be fair to compare this to The Whisper Man, but it’s hard not to, and it wasn’t as well plotted. I still enjoyed it. It got a bit mired down in the second half with more characters than I wanted to keep track of, but it was good. Dark and disturbing, but good. My sister will love it.
