Due to Mara’s own past, she doesn’t believe the house could be haunted. Her boyfriend, Neil, is not a fan of the house but Mara refuses to live elsewhere.
I had read a different book by Darcy Coates and it was just okay, but I figured I’d give another try, especially in the Halloween season. I’m glad I did and I’m even planning to read another of their haunted places books.
This story is pretty much a stereotypical haunting. Of course it can’t be exactly who we suspect it is the whole time, but I found it to be interesting and I wasn’t bored because I couldn’t predict exactly how it would turn out.
It also has a nice ending, which doesn’t always happen with horror books.

the plot was pretty bare-pickings as well. it was a very slow burn, and by the end of it, i just felt like i was reading a fluffier, nicer version of hell house (richard matheson).
all in all, i would give this one a pass and reach for some of her better works like craven manor or the carrow haunt.
