Summary
Paranormal students Delores and Prudence are being hounded by inquisitors after they broke the rules and helped rescue fellow student Maud from death at the hands of an evil spirit. Cruel inquisitor Magoria Jepp is searching for secrets at their home in Edinburgh’s Tolbooth Bookstore, but does she have an uncanny history of her own to hide? As Delores tries to save her friends, she attracts the unwelcome attention of a murderous Boçain, or evil spirit, intent on stealing her paranormal gifts. Can she defeat her enemies, and maybe her own family too, to save everyone she loves at the Tolbooth?

Critics Review
Praise for The Dark and Dangerous Gifts of Delores Mackenzie:
‘Eerie and imaginative.’ Alice Broadway
‘A captivating debut full of ghostly intrigue.’ Phil Hickes
‘A gripping tale that expertly balances perfectly pitched horror for young readers with a tale of finding unlikely friendships forged in the darkest of places.’ Nicki Thornton
‘Made me want to visit Edinburgh again!’ Michael Mann
‘Thoroughly enjoyed this dark delight of a book. Fresh and inventive, with great characterisation.’ Thomas Taylor
Yvonne Banham
Yvonne Banham grew up on an island off the coast of Cumbria and spent lots of time huddled on the wild beach with a scary book. When she left school, she couldn’t decide whether to be a nurse, an artist, or a writer, so she tried them all and decided she liked words best. She believes in ghosts though she’s never met one, and after five gloriously spooky years in Edinburgh, she now lives in Stirlingshire with her husband and their ancient beagle, Toby. When she’s not writing, she’ll be hiking or trail running in the nearby hills.
