Hey there internet, i'm here today with another overdue review! This time i'm going back to the start of May to review The Phantom by Barbara Steiner.
The Phantom is one of the many books in the Point Horror collection, and it was the first one i'd ever read. My sister-in-law loved Point Horror growing up, and she recently bought a few, after she read this one she told me it was very 'are you afraid of the dark?' which was my favourite show growing up, so i was really excited to read it!
Let me tell you now, this book was super fun! It took me about an hour/an hour and a half to read and it was just a really good, quick read.
It's all about this group of friends who lost a friend/boyfriend and on the day of one of the biggest football games of the year, his ghost comes to haunt them! It was all very Goosebumps/Are you afraid of the dark? and i loved it.
You really start to care about the characters and you want to keep reading so you can find out who's behind all of the suffering these poor kids are being put through, and it doesn't disappoint!
It might be a little easy to work out who did it if you read/watch a lot of crime/horror stories but it's still packed full of mystery and fun!
Overall i gave The Phantom 4/5 over on GoodReads, because i did really, really enjoy it, but it's not quite that amazing to get a full 5. I do recommend it to anyone who loved/loves Goosebumps and Are you afraid of the dark? as it's a nice little flashback to that!
