Looking for JJ

Reviewed by George Kallias


"Quick,” Carol said, getting into the front of the van, squashing Jennifer in the middle, “Let’s get going.” Danny turned the ignition key and the van spluttered but didn’t start.

Looking for JJ is indeed a modern masterpiece if you ask me. An enthralling, chilling and exciting tale following the life of Alice Tully, a young teenage student. She has to bear the problems of any other teenager – university choices, relationships and jobs – but this girl has a far worse problem! Her dark past is catching up with her ... that one terrible day, six years ago.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a chilling novel. Though hard to first get a grip of straight away, it really drags you in to the perspective view of the troubled Alice Tully. Or is it Jennifer Jones?!
