The Blurb!

At sixteen Nash thought that the fight to become Head Girl of prestigious boarding school Bathory would be the biggest battle she’d face. Until her brother’s disappearance leads to Nash being trapped at the school over Christmas with Bathory’s assorted misfits. As a blizzard rages outside, strange things are afoot in the school’s hallways, and legends of the mysterious Beast of Bathory – a big cat rumoured to room the moors outside the school – run wild. Yet when the girls’ Matron goes missing it’s clear that something altogether darker is to blame – and that they’ll have to stick together if they hope to survive.
‘It’s so good, I’d recommend it to people I don’t like’ – Kevin Brooks on Pretty Bad Things
‘It's an absolute page-turner! I gobbled it up in one sitting, and it kept me guessing right till the end. A deliciously creepy horror story, served up with CJ's trademark humour.’ – Cat Clarke

Happy Reading!!

I have to say, this is a really good read.
I have only 25 pages left to read and I am really sad about it.

Let us know what you think.

I didn't know what to expect and ended up reading it for hours. Only stopped to feed my family

I raced through this one, couldn't put it down. I loved it.

I loved how freaky it was, how funny it was, and how it really explored the whole concept of monsters.
