The Haunting of Aveline Jones: 1: The first spine-tingling book in the Aveline Jones series

Product Information

Strong writing that hooks you from the start and a fascinating spooky mystery that refuses to let you go. This is centred on Aveline Jones who’s dreading having to spend half-term with her fussy, forbidding aunt in a remote, Cornish fishing village.

The publisher says fans of A Widdershins Adventure books, The Last Wild Trilogy and the Frostheart books will love this series by the author of the Shadowhall Academy books too. The way Hickes draws you in with his chilling descriptions of the town and its residents gets under your skin and you know something isn’t right. If there's one thing we can promise new Aveline Jones readers, it's that the books never get boring.It doesn't ever seem to thaw, even though the narrative tries really hard to get them to build up some kind of relationship. I was a scaredy-cat as a kid so I doubt I would have been able to read this book after dark, although it’s the kind of scary that would have both freaked me out and made me want to keep reading. The books are brimming with secrets from the past, magical forces, supernatural activity and LOTS of sneaking around!

Driving into the town, they are surprised and spooked to see child like figures standing outside of homes.A storm is coming, and when Aveline finds herself face to face with the past, will she escape from the clutches of Malmouth’s most tormented and vengeful spirit? When she comes across a book that once belonged to Primrose Penberthy, who mysteriously went missing, she decides to investigate her disappearance.
