Review: Great new YA paranormal thriller!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Nicola Marsh is a bestselling romance author so I was curious when I heard she was going to release a Young Adult novel (and couldn't wait to read it as I love her writing style).Banish was a fantastic read. It took me a couple of chapters to get into it but once I did I found I couldn't stop. I felt Alyssa was a unique character - you couldn't help but feel bad for her with all the issues she was dealing with. Loved the realistic, difficult relationship she had with her mother and I absolutely loved the thriller, suspense elements which were woven throughout the story and kept me glued to the pages. Ronan was wonderfully supportive (and hot!!!) as Alyssa's love interest but he didn't ditract from Alyssa's story which was refreshing actually - to not have the romance overshadow the plot.I look forward to reading Nicola's next YA work.
