Banish

by Nicola Marsh

Alyssa has one week to destroy her enemy, save her spirit...and save her soul.

After her ex–boyfriend commits suicide and her mum's alcoholism sparks yet another psychotic episode, seventeen–year–old Alyssa Wood flees her small hometown of Broadwater and heads to New York City to stay with her bohemian aunt – a Wicca High Priestess.

Alyssa revels in the anonymity of a big city and her new life. Her grades climb, she has a new best friend, and a new guy: the sexy geek Ronan – a saxophone player who prefers jazz to pop.

But her newfound peace is soon shattered when she sees a dead body in one of Ronan's music clips – and she's the only one who can see it. Worse still, Alyssa recognises the body that has been murdered a week forward!

Alyssa doesn't believe in the supernatural...despite her family's Wicca background. So how will she overcome evil when it's closer than she thinks?

Banish is a young adult psychological thriller with a paranormal twist. Although slow to start, as the storyline unravels you'll find yourself increasingly skittish. It's intense and unpredictable, not to mention creepy and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Even being a young adult release, it scared me senseless in parts, definitely not one to read alone at night.

It felt unfinished, so I wonder if there will be a follow up to tie up lose ends. If there is, sign me up.
