The Haunting of Blackwood House by Darcy Coates
3.0
Overall, this was a pretty okay ghost story.
A little bit lackluster. I kept waiting for the shoe to drop and a big twist to happen, but it never did. This was really more about Mara dealing with her childhood trauma and her relationship with Neil than it was a ghost story.
I could have used more history on all of the people who died in the house. The little bits and bobs that were dropped along the way really didn't cut it for me.
The suspense was never really there; I was never on the edge of my seat. It didn't give me a spooky scary vibe at all.
Overall, it was a good ghost story. I did enjoy it, even if it wasn't as much as I usually love Coates’ stories.
