About this ebook
IT WAS ONLY MEANT TO BE A GAME . . .
None of us ever agreed on when it started.
Was it when we started drawing the chalk figures, or when they started to appear on their own?
Was it the terrible accident?
Or when they found the first body?

The book started so well unfortunately the plot became disjointed. It promised so much but fell short.

The novel is interesting however the plot becomes quite messy and rushed towards the end, making it less enjoyable to finish

A really well written story with interesting characters, although the ending was slightly underwhelming this was still a book a thoroughly enjoyed.
