Guest Review: The Possession of Cassie Quinn by Kathryn Knutson

I am so excited to have Alisa from Picture Me Reading here today! I LOVE Alisa’s awesome way of reviewing books, which you can experience below. One other super cool thing about Alisa’s Picture Me Reading reviews, sometimes they are accompanied by audio of Alisa and her husband discussing the book she has picture reviewed. These audio discussions really add something special… I am sure this has nothing to do with her husbands… Um… Voice and accent… Yeah, you just go listen to the last discussion you will totally hear what I am talking about;)

A long, dark driveway towards an old farmhouse. A new stepsister with a nasty streak. A little sister who runs off. Something sinister lurking in the woods. Cassie Quinn's new home comes with . . . complications. Cassie never believed in ghosts before. But now she is receiving strange messages, telling her to stay out of the woods. Are the messages just a ploy by her stepsister? Or are they warning her of an evil that stalks the shadows of the woods beyond her home?

About this Blogger




I am a 30-something year old artist and art educator. I am a geek with some nerdy tendencies and that informs what I tend to like to read. I love period dramas, romance, fantasy and science fiction.  In my free time I like to draw, write, go to movies and of course read.  I like stories with strong female leads and I love a story with a good old-fashioned knock your socks off romance. My favorite book of all time is Jane Eyre, which I am quite obsessive about! As for my blog I thought that it would be fun to do a book review site, my husband came up with the idea of drawing or illustrating the reviews instead of writing them. I have a silly sense of humor, which I hope comes across in these little illustrations I am doing. I hope you enjoy them and that you get a few ideas for books you would like to read in the future!

    I love Alisa's illustrated book reviews too. This is a fun one! The cover of the book is terrifying and the picture of the girl in the house really does look like the girl on the cover. And, yes - why do the characters go into the spooky woods alone? This book might be too scary for me but I enjoyed the review and it really sets the Halloween mood.
