(Point Horror)

Bianca is terrified of the dark - but this is no stupid, childish fear. Bianca knows what the dark can be hiding. Two years ago she was the only witness to a brutal murder, a murder that's still unsolved. Bianca was so traumatised that she has no memory of that night at all. But she knows one thing - if her memory ever returns, the killer will too.

I remember buying this book from the huge Waterstone's shop in Edinburgh and being in total suspense and fear while reading it. I devoured every Point Horror book I could get my hands on when I was a teen but I think this is the only one which I ever bought.

I initially rated this book 5 stars when I first read it in 2009 - when I was 16 years old. It's surprising how much 10 years can change my perspective on this book, as reading it for the second time, I realised that this didn't grip me whatsoever.

I've been reading a while range of books lately to look at different writing styles and this was one of the teen books that I decided to read. Unfortunately for me, I hadn't bothered to read any reviews about this book beforehand which would have saved me wasting a few hours of my life.

It's poorly written, unrealistic, predictable and in my opinion insulting to people with mental health conditions. This also rings true for The Dark 2.

Read my review of the second book - sadly this is where it all started.
I enjoyed this. Stalker mystery. Predictable but decent enough. Bianca could be a bit of an idiot but what teenager isn't. And there was a touch of romance.
