The Haunting of Tyrese Walker by J.P. Rose
5.0
Tyrese is struggling with grief following a shocking event and his Mum takes him to visit family in Jamaica. Strange things start happening and Tyrese is told he is being hunted by the shadow man, he and his friends must uncover the shadow man’s history by taking a horrifying journey across the island.
This is a fantastic mystery adventure. It explores the legend of the duppies, spirits who haunt the landscape and possess the unwary. it is a dark and heartbreaking tale that explores the devastation of grief, how loss can feel like madness as the struggle to feel through the pain causes mental turmoil. The location is so rich, you can feel the sticky heat of the Jamaican summer, the lushness of the vegetation in the writing, it’s so delicious. An intoxicating mix of folklore, pain, grief and love with a creepy twist. Exploring the complexities of emotion alongside a brilliant adventure story. I loved this and rarely for me parts of it made me cry, excellent, 5 stars ⭐️
