The La’lun by J N Harris
Apr. 3rd, 2019 11:20 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Every family has a secret – this one is the last of its kind.
When Camille discovers the secret her grandmother has protected for decades, she knows that to tell anyone would be to tell everyone – with terrible consequences.
But it could also bring the rest of her family back into her life.
This is a story about love and loyalty, truth and lies. Real news, fake news and how far you’d go to protect what you love.
It’s a story for now with its roots in ancient folklore.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
J N Harris’s YA novel with a paranormal twist has an engaging main character, I enjoyed Camille’s relationship with her grandmother while the elements incorporated from Welsh folklore are intriguing but the plot meanders, the missing father storyline is a little silly and Duncan and Sarah solely exist to serve the plot – such that while it’s an okay read, I think it would be of more interest to tweens than teens.
THE LA’LUN was released in the United Kingdom on 10th October 2018. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
