I have enjoyed Darcy Coates books in the past but while they gave me the creeps they didn't scare me. This one scared me enough I had to take breaks and gave me bad dreams.

This was a great quick read! The beginning had me hooked with the tour of the house, and I loved the play between the characters! The entire time I was guessing “is this paranormal or not?” And although I’m slightly let down by the ending, I think this was solid!

Another excellent haunted house tale from Darcy Coates. This one has some twists and turns you wouldn't expect. The story brings together a mixture of science, mysticism, history, and a hefty helping of bravery to see our protagonist through the day. As always Darcy is great at finding ways to make your skin crawl, your emotions take a plunge, and your heebies thoroughly jeebied. Give this one a read

holy fuck, i loved this. the writing was atmospheric, gripping and beautiful, the dynamics between the characters in the haunted house were a joy to read. this book also scared the shit out of me and reading it in the dark was a uniquely horrifying experience because i was imagining it all so vividly. i recommend not reading up on the plot too much before reading; going in blind made the experience a lot better for me, in my opinion. however, if you have triggers, obviously read up on those!
