The Restoration
J.H Moncrieff
Anticipated Publication Date: Oct. 26,2021

This book is fast paced and has a frightening concept.
Terri moved into the home of Mrs. Vandermere with her daughter for the summer in order to restore it.
Her daughter encounters the spirit of someone who lived in the home early in the plot and the book is off and running. I felt that this was thrilling and exciting as the pacing was quick and engaging. It is different from a typical haunting in a few creative ways, which made this refreshing.
I have to give it three stars because the end was a bit rushed. It is self aware as a horror and haunting story, which is pretty humorous. The protagonist is pleasant and relatable. The backstory to one of the characters was given and her motivations were explained but, I would have liked to learn more about the background of the ghosts.
If you are a fan of paranormal horror and hauntings this book will entertain you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Flame Tree Press for the E ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
