Advantages: Entertaining with a good twist to the end Disadvantages: None really
...their opinion were better and Hybrid was one of those so I took the plunge.
When I got the book I was a bit worried about the cover as if I had seen this on a bookshelf I would have assumed it was a horror story and left it well alone however the reviewer and the blurb on the back suggested something different so I switched all the lights on in the house (just incase) and started to read. It was only after I finished the book that I noticed it does ... ...the case I would say it is at the mild end of the horror spectrum.
The Plot
The plot evolves around one single character, a once famous writer Christopher Ward whose career is very much in decline.

...plane/beach/at the villa/etcetera. I spotted Hell To Pay in a rack of paperbacks. I decided to give it a go. What did I have to lose? It's free to borrow from the library, so if it's rubbish; c'est la vie.
It wasn't rubbish. It was great. A return to form. A return to the good old days of sex and violence, troubled maverick coppers and underlying supernatural terror.

The story as with all of Hutson's books are amazing and the end of every chapter leaves you NEEDING to read the rest. I just could not put this book down and read it within a week ...
Advantages: not to long and drawn out Disadvantages: none i loved it
one of his best, this book was fantastic..based on a small town and family... full of detail you will lose yourself in his words, well written and will leave you on the edge of your chair. a hard one to put down, if you like the style of shauns books, this one is a defo. most of his books do have a strong theme... but this on is a chilled out no need to think to much to enjoy it... great for the holidays. not to long, doesnt get boring half way through, ...

Yes......Yes.......Yes.......Yes...... Oh my goodness this man has done it to me again. He just taken me into another world.
This man I talk about in unfortunately not my husband, he is the next best thing. Shaun Hutson writer extraodinaire!! From the title to the last quote in the book I felt under a spell.
You do not realise that it is a book that you are reading, as some of the things that happen in this story do happen in reality.

Carl is the oldest of the group and Donna idolises him. Donna wil do anything he asks her to do. Graham is the follower of the pack and is dominated by Carl.
These three along with others are running riot in the streets of the overcrowded council estate that they all live in. They are commiting burglary, theft, vandolism and car break ins. They are all under the age of 18 so they are terrorising the residents knowing that the ...
