'The Boy in the Cemetery' by Sebastian Gregory is a horror novel about a girl who doesn't want to live and a boy who cannot die.

The book opens with the boy's story. He is robbing graves with his father, when his father becomes ill and dies. The boy is left to fend for himself in the graveyard.

Many years later, a young girl named Carrie Anne has tried to commit suicide because her father has sexually assaulted her and her mother covers it up. They move to a new town to make a new start, and find themselves in a house with an abandoned graveyard in the back. From the beginning, Carrie Anne is drawn, especially when she meets the undead boy who lives there.

It's kind of a gruesome awful tale. Carrie Anne is a pretty sympathetic character, and she is treated pretty awful by those around her. The boy in the graveyard is grotesque, but hard to feel anything for.

I received a review copy of this ebook issue from Carina and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Apologies I didn't download this book in time to review it and have changed how I work on NetGalley now and download as soon as I'm accepted for a book.

A good book to read on the lead up to Halloween. It has dark, spooky scenes and relates life where the little boy in question lived and the illnesses that claimed many. It also follows Carrie Anne who is very troubled.
It is a very atmospheric book- just a little out of my normal comfort zone and genre.
