This book has fantastic potential but I'm just not sure it used all of the opportunities it could have done. I love the first character you are introduced to in the story, Emma. She has been called by her Grandma, who lives in Cornwall and asked to visit as her days are now numbered. Cornwall is a rather long drive for someone who is disabled and has only passed her driving test for five days! However, I digress. Her grandmother owns an inn called the Waterwitch, which was built from the wood of an old supposedly 'haunted' ship. Emma's grandmother warns her about going to the Waterwitch as she also believes it's haunted, she doesn't count on what Emma will do next...

Sounds good right - I thought so too! The start of the story really hooked me in and I was quite excited to see what would happen next. My main disappointment is that the scares are built up but never really delivered. There are some brilliant moments of tension which are just let down straight away rather than using them to their full potential. Overall, I liked the author's style but in a horror book you don't just waste a good build up scare!
