Recommendation: Horror fans
After Fourteen Years of Day comes Fourteen Years of Night. On this island, the sun doesn't set like normal. Every fourteen years of daytime, the sun sets and the island is plunged into fourteen years of night. The inhabitants of this island know enough to leave the island when the sun begins to set. Anyone who gets left behind is never heard of again. This year, a boy goes missing just as the inhabitants are about to leave their island and Marin and her brother and the missing boy get left behind.
When I opened this book, I had no idea what to expect... a cheesy horror story, or a really good, frightening story that raises goosebumps. As I read further in this book, I was surprised to find a really good, goose bump-raising story. It's especially chilling if you read it alone at night. The story takes unexpected twists and turns and keeps you engrossed in the story right up to the very end.
