A mysterious boy. A haunting secret.

A shiver crawled up my spine. It felt like the loneliest place in the world. For a second I thought I caught a snatch of music in the air, but it was just the wind whistling through cracks in the fairground hoardings.
      My instincts screamed, ‘Run away, Bel! Run away and never return!’
      But instead my fingers closed around the ticket in my pocket.
      Admit one.

Bel has never met anyone like Luka. And the day she follows him into the abandoned fairground, she is totally unprepared for the turn her life is about to take.

A compelling dark romance.

'Full of tension, mystery and real-life drama,
Dark Ride is not to be missed.’
Chicklish

'Bel is a realistic teenager, she can be moody and mouthy but you are drawn to her and feel her loneliness like it was your own. An impressive debut . . . impossible to put down.'
Goodreads


‘I almost missed my stop.’
Dave Cousins, author of 15 Days Without a Head
