What a creepy story! Perfect for fans of Inception and Blair Witch Project (and I loved both)! I can't think of a better Halloween book.
Run time takes place in the woods, in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal and no chance to escape...
Adele Rafferty is an actress who can't find a decent job after an accident on the set. That's why she agrees to take part in a secret location, being hired last minute she doesn't even have time to properly check people behind the film.
Her role is quite simple - she plays Kate, who is reading a book and the things from the book start happening to her in real life. It wouldn't be weird... if those things haven't start happening to Adele as well!
The story takes us through Adele's past and problems, as well as present time and horror unraveling around her.
Run Time is a psychological thriller with unexpected twists and really dark moments.
I loved it, although it made me a little bit scared, when I was reading it in the late evening!
I definitely want to read more Catherine's books, she became my must-read author!

The Twist of a Knife by Anthony Horowitz

Remember that time when Anthony Horowitz was arrested for murder? No? Then you haven't read The Twist of a Knife (catch-up and buy it now)!
As a huge fan of Anthony's work, I was excited to see the new Hawthorne book! The concept of putting himself in the book, and writing about the investigation, landing in a hospital a couple of times, and now being a suspect in a murder case - brilliant! I admire the creativity and that Anthony can write any genre and it just works.
I have to admit I didn't figure out who is the killer and the plot took several interesting twists and turns! Everything seemed possible.
It's so hard to review it without spoilers but I can tell you one thing - this is the best book in the series yet, and all of them were strong 10 stars!
If you want to read something unique, extremely engaging and fascinating, it's the right book for you!
