Holiday for the Hostile : Book two of The Hostile series by Joy Mutter

The Blurb:

Holiday for The Hostile, second book of The Hostile series, is probably even stranger than the first. Serena, plus her unusual friend and partner in crime, Tile X, reluctantly find themselves suffering a family holiday inside her eccentric grandfather’s hovel in Ireland. Who will escape intact from their dramatic holiday from Hell? A paranormal thriller with a splash of horror.

My Review:

Having read book one in the Hostile series, book two did not disappoint. Serena Drummond is now two years older and reunited with her murderous, ceramic friend, Tile X, she reluctantly has to go on a family holiday to her paternal grandfather's ramshackle home. However, her break away from Manchester is not a holiday away from death and destruction, and Serena certainly gives the Garda a run for their money. The story goes on with another two books in the series to follow.
