Micheline Helsing is a
tetrachromat—a girl who sees the auras of the undead in a prismatic
spectrum. As one of the last descendants of the Van Helsing lineage, she
has trained since childhood to destroy monsters both corporeal and
spiritual: the corporeal undead go down by the bullet, the spiritual
undead by the lens. With an analog SLR camera as her best weapon,
Micheline exorcises ghosts by capturing their spiritual energy on film.
She's aided by her crew: Oliver, a techno-whiz and the boy who developed
her camera's technology; Jude, who can predict death; and Ryder, the
boy Micheline has known and loved forever.
When a routine ghost hunt goes awry, Micheline and the boys are infected with a curse known as a soulchain. As
the ghostly chains spread through their bodies, Micheline learns that
if she doesn't exorcise her entity in seven days or less, she and her
friends will die. Now pursued as a renegade agent by her monster-hunting
father, Leonard Helsing, she must track and destroy an entity more
powerful than anything she's faced before . . . or die trying.
Lock, stock, and lens, she’s in for one hell of a week. @goodreads
Well that was a nice little creeptastic ride =)
I mean, it's not a really huge horror book but it's a nice scary book!
Micheline Helsing, Oliver Stoker, < --- yes, part of the families and Ryder and Jude are a part of The Helsing Corps.
They
got a call there was some cray going on over at the hospital and no one
else could get there for an hour. Soooooooooooooooo, Micheline takes
matters into her own hands and has her and the team show up. They are
not supposed to just do stuff like that unless told and yeah, she got
reamed by her dad. And it turns out some funky ghost, evil thing puts a
curse on her and the gang. I keep saying gang and now I want to watch
Scooby-Doo, but I digress.
Anyway, said ghost doesn't go quietly
into the night when zapped with the special camera. Nope, it puts a
curse on them all and they have so many days to break the curse or
dieeeeeeeeeeee!
I
love scary stories and thought this was great with the spin from the
Helsing and Stoker parts along with a few others you can read about
yourself.
Oh and lord, I don't want to look at mirrors anymore. They always creep me out anyway from all of the scary movies. Lol
As usual, there are some revelations and a good ole fight and some sad stuff thrown in too.
I
think fans of horror will like this book. If your into major gore and
hardcore horror, it's probably not for you =) Happy Reading!
