"...Everybody has a secret. Behind every smile lies a dark story. Behind every hello is a hidden goodbye."

* Silence...*

Do you feel that? That's the hair on the back of your neck standing up! That's the goosebumps slowly taking over. And that is a book you’re not going to want to put down. Holy jumpin' books! What an opening! From the book cover alone, you know your about to ready something spooky, add in the synopsis and I'm sure your ready to plug-in your night-light!

"A sly fog rolled into the town like a flood from the forest, completely embedding the ground, hiding the pavements and roads from naked eyes."

This was perfect for opening up on my imagination. The detailing and description through this book had me feeling like I was actually there among the characters, and that is an amazing feeling to have while reading a book. Remnants of the Damned started with a fast paced prologue that has you jumping right into the story. I loved how fast paced it was, this book had a perfect flow and there wasn't a point when I thought the story line was too slow or too fast.

Gavin decision to have multiple POV’s from all the main characters was absolute genius! From this you get to experience and see the scenario from a different angle, which makes this book so much more fastening. While there was room for improvement with the writing style I still strongly believe that Gavin Hetherington is an author to look out for!

Overall, Remnants of the Damned has every single element to classify this as a horror story and a good one at that! A spooky fast paced read that ends with a cliffhanger and makes you want to run out and grab the next book! Sadly, I’ll have to wait until October, cue the sigh! Sigh.

I give this 4 'high pitch screams' butterflies!
