The Taken

by Sarah Pinborough
The Taken by Sarah Pinborough
Unrated

She's a beautiful little girl, only ten years old with pretty blond curls. Why, then, does she strike such terror into all who see her? Because she died thirty years ago – a horrible, agonizing death in the middle of a raging thunderstorm.

Tonight the storm has returned... and so has she; to exact revenge on those responsible for her death.

But there is more to the storm that carries her than even she knows, and as innocent Alex battles to save those she loves from the vindictive ghost of Melanie Parr, she discovers that terrible folklores can sometimes be true.

Sometimes, there are worse things to fear than death.
