![]() ![]() There is talk of civil war, and they need people like her to protect their dark and terrible family secret.īut as she plans her escape and heads out into a country torn apart by war, Makepeace must decide which is worse: possession – or death. Her storytelling is visceral and unfurls at an exciting pace, making this novel a wonderful, weird and terrifying addition to her body of work. The spirit is wild, brutish and strong, and it may be her only defence when she is sent to live with her father's rich and powerful ancestors. The Guardian A Skinful of Shadows is outlandishly creative and thoroughly blood-chilling. Twelve-year-old Makepeace has learned to defend herself from the ghosts which try to possess her in the night, desperate for refuge, but one day a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard. Some people have space within them, perfect for hiding. Sometimes, when a person dies, their spirit goes looking for somewhere to hide. ![]() Introduction | Reviews | Dark Omens and Dangerous Prophecies | Boars' Heads and Cats' Tongues A Skinful of Shadows Introduction ![]() 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars.
