Nun Taken
In 1986, two boys cross paths at Griffwood Manor, a rehabilitation center for troubled youth. While their bond grows, something is watching. Lurking. Waiting.
20 years later, Sonya Frost, a lost girl who found trouble, is enrolled in Griffwood Manor, now under new management. She thought it would be easy. She thought she found the place to change herself for the better with the help of the nuns.
However, one of the sisters is different.
One of them has been stalking the teenagers.
One of them has been inflicting pain.
Will the teenagers become released of their troubles? Will they make it out of therapy alive?
Nun Taken takes the elements from 80s and 90s slashers with blood and gore, and a little bit of glitter.
Pray for protection. Their salvation is waiting.

Eighties slasher vibes, a murderous nun wielding a huge wooden cross, and a group of teens who are all attending one week of rehabilitation after finding themselves on the wrong side of the law…
I was excited to read this, as the blurb was everything I wanted, but while it is a decent story, I felt as though there was something missing. This has potential to be a really good book, but I felt that the horror was lacking, for me anyway.
Thanks to the author and BookSirens for providing me with this free ARC, with which I leave a voluntary review.

Two and a half stars rounded to three.
It was interesting reading! The author’s bio says that Brady Phoenix likes slasher movies and that’s exactly what I felt!
Characters made me feel a lot of empathy, especially Sonya and Frank. I thought Sonya had the most horrible story, but what happened to Frank in Manor is just unspeakable.
Sadly turned out it’s not my cup of tea. Will recommend it, but just not the type of horror I usually read. Can’t say much because it will be a spoiler but reading a description I thought the main flow would be different. And it was, until the last chapters.
Could be a 3.5-4 stars, but the ending ruined it for me. But if you like old horror movies, you will enjoy the book!

Wow. What an incredible read. This is my first five star review of the year. Griffwood manor was a home inhabited by nuns and housed troubled youth. I like how the book flips back and forth between Buck and Frank at Griffwood manor in 1986 and Sonya in 2006. The children are told a spooky story about the ghost of Mother Superior who haunts the old grounds punishing children who disobey the rules. I dont want give away to many spoilers because it's definitely worth reading. Such a spooky read I couldn't put it down. Was surprised by the ending and definitely wasn't expecting it. Can't wait to read more books from this author.
I received an advanced copy of this book for free and this is my honest review.
