Review of 'The watcher in the shadows' on 'Goodreads'

I've just read this book in three days. Well three lunch times really. I didn't know it was "ya" when I bought it. It's a fantastic read, proper well thought out, creepy horror. With a bitter sweet, touching finale. Well worth a read, but not in the dark if you are of a nervous disposition.
