Camp Death by Jim Ody - Book Tour & Review

Book Blurb: 

The place had a gruesome past that nobody wanted to talk about…

Camp Deathe is now a great place to spend the summer. Ritchie soon finds a group of outsiders like himself. Teenagers who ignore the organised activities, and bunk off in the old abandoned cabins deep in the woods. The cabins that have a history.

The campfire monster stories were meant to just scare them. Nobody expected them to come true. Then one of the teenagers disappears in the middle of the night.

Something is watching them. It hides in the woods and hunts at night.

Ritchie will have to uncover the secrets of the camp and understand his own problems in order to survive.

 Camp Death is Book 1 in a new series brought to you by Question Mark Horror. For fans of Point Horror, Christopher Pike & Nicholas Pine.

My Review
 Camp Death is a mature YA horror novel set in England. It's very reminiscent of the old Christopher Pike novels, and it reminded me a little of Goosebumps (especially Welcome to Camp Nightmare), although a little more adult than that. 
The story follows Ritchie and Sophie as they, along with their parents, take a vacation to a place called Camp Deathe. Ritchie's parents think it will help Ritchie get over his breakup with a girl named Kelly. But there's more than meets the eye at Camp Deathe. 
With mysterious disappearances and rumors of a beast lurking in the woods, the vacation at Camp Deathe may just, in fact, lead to death. 
I found this to be an enjoyable horror novel. I really liked how easy it was to read, and how it all ended. I had my suspicions about certain things, and I'm glad I was right about at least one of them. 
This is a fun little horror novel that will appeal to fans of the genre. I'd recommend it to teens 16+ who enjoy spooky reads.
4 stars!

Jim writes dark psychological/thrillers, Horror and YA books that have endings you won’t see coming, and favours stories packed with wit. He has written over a dozen novels and many more short-stories spanning many genres.

Jim has a very strange sense of humour and is often considered a little odd.  When not writing he will be found playing the drums, watching football and eating chocolate. He lives with his long-suffering wife, three beautiful children and two indignant cats in Swindon, Wiltshire UK.
