The residents of Blackbrooke share their town with the Creatures, or Crits as they are known. Grotesque, roaming the streets at night looking for food, their presence means humans have to live by the Rules, keeping them indoors and forbidding them of basic desires.
The most important Rule?
Don’t be a ‘walk out’!
Straight-A student, Liberty Connor, hates the Crits and the endless Rules she and her tight knit group of friends have to live by.
Planning her new life on the Outside with her boyfriend, Gabriel, Liberty whiles away her days waiting to turn 18, so they can leave and be free. That is, until the world she thinks she knows begins to unravel…
Her friends start to walk out. So she’s told. However, something’s not right. Things don’t add up.
Liberty faces a race against time to discover what’s going on with the Creatures of Blackbrooke.
Is it them she has to fear, or something much closer to home?
Blackbrooke is a Young Adult horror novel that has you on the edge of your seat.

Hey Guys, sorry I didn't post
anything this weekend. My dad had to go to the ER. He's okay though.
Thank God. I'll post those pictures of the spider soon. I still have
to upload them to my computer.
Anyways I thought I would review Blackbrooke by
Emma Silver. Okay so if you like horror than you will like this book.
This is actually my first time reading a horrorish type novel because
I'm not really into horror stuff, but I liked the little blurb and
decided to give it a try. Some parts were more intense than others, but
I held my own pretty well while reading this.
Okay
so the main character is Liberty along with some of her friends like
Gemma, Cassius, and other characters that have slipped my mind at the
moment. Liberty is one of my all time favorite characters because she's
feisty and doesn't take no for an answer. She also goes through a lot
of shit in this book, and in the end you feel super bad for her. I was
literally crying. Also Cassius is a really good character. He is also
in my top favorite characters list. (I'll have to make a list of my
favorites characters males and females.) Cassius plays a really
important role in the book and he's there for Liberty when she really
needs him.
In this book you will find
romance, heebie jeebies, and secrets that will make you want to spit out
your drink. Crits are the heebie jeebies that I was talking about, and
they sent shivers down my spine. They are just super creepy and they
made my heart kind of race a little bit. I'm a chicken okay, I am also
really jumpy that's why I tend to stay away from the horror type
stories. Romance is kind of a big deal because anyone under eighteen
isn't really supposed to have a girlfriend or boyfriend because of the
Crits. They will kill you. Also if you want to commit side ways
(suicide) all you have to do is walk out your front door at night and
the Crits will take care of the rest.
I won this book off of Emma
Silver's blog and it took a few weeks to get to me because it was coming
all the way from Britain. When I did get it, it took me two days to
read it. It held my attention all the way through. I am dying to get
my hands on the next book. If it is anything like the first book I know
I'll love it.
Emma I loved it and can't wait to see what else happens to Liberty and her friends.
