Where the Dead Brides Gather
Thank you @zooloosBT and @NuzoOnoh for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book.
Where the dead brides gather is a contemporary horror. The story is about Bata who is an 11 years old who has a real bad dreams and there secrets in the family. The book well written and there is a great amount of tenision and horror that's flowing through the book. The story has a good plot and this is a very unique story that you will not be able to put down. I have not read anything like Where the dead bride gather before, and it is wonderful to read something completely different. I like Bata character alot and felt like I could connect with her and her journey all the way through the book. This is brilliant read that you will not be able to stop reading till the end. Fantastic 5 stars.

Blurb
Bata, an eleven-year-old girl tormented by nightmares, wakes up one night to find herself standing sentinel before her cousin's door. Her skin, hair, and eyes have turned a dazzling white colour, which even the medicine-man can't heal.
Her cousin is to get married the next morning, but only if she can escape the murderous attack of a ghost-bride, who used to be engaged to her groom.
Through the night, Bata battles the vengeful ghost and finally vanquishes it before collapsing. On awakening, she has no recollection of the events. And when the medicine-man tries to exorcise the entities clinging to her body as a result of her supernatural possession, Bata dies on the exorcism mat.
There begins her journey.
She is taken into Ibaja-La, the realm of dead brides, by Mmuọ-Ka-Mmuọ, the ghost-collector of the spirit realm.
There she meets the ghosts of brides from every culture who died tragically before their weddings; both the kind and the malevolent.
Bata is given secret powers to fight the evil ghost-brides before being sent back to the human realm, where she must learn to harness her new abilities as she strives to protect those whom she loves.
