On the Edge (BR7)

When Tug wakes up, he is not in his own bedroom at home. The door is rocked and there are bars across the window. Loud music hammers through the house and through his head. Then a woman comes in and says that she is his mother, but Tug knows that she is not his mother... Outside, Jinny stares through the trees at the lonely house on the hill. She hears strange noises, but she turns away. After all, it's none of her business...


The story was very scary, especially the scene that the boy became unable to find himself was frightened. I thought the situation that person lose oneself is very scared.

White Death (BR6)

She says she did not do it. But if she did not, who did? Only two people can help Sarah: her mother, and an old boyfriend who does not love her now. Can they work together?

I thought it very annoyed at first because Sarah was innocent. Her mother and old boyfriend helped her. I liked Anna, Sarah's mother, because she tried to prove her daughter's innocence with full force. I was very excited because if she couldn't do it, Sarah might be condemned to death. Thanks to her, she could be made free.
