3.5 stars. I've had such a rollercoaster "relationship" with this author. Where I love the story but hate the main characters. It's rough. LoL. But I took a break from her and I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed this one. Daniel was likeable...insanely naive..but likeable. I could tell he was very young. His age was confirmed at the end of the book but I could tell. His life was good until it wasn't, but he was still a hard working kid who couldn't catch a break. And it was that naivete that set things in motion really. He took two conflicting stories at face value. Which, of course, can cause a problem if you run off half cocked without asking questions first.
This story actually ended the way I wanted it to end..but i thought it was ridiculous thought..until it did end that way LOL.

4 STARS!
I really enjoyed this one. It was an interesting ghost story with lots of mysteries involved. I enjoyed the twists and turns to Craven Manor in regards to the Myrick family and what’s really going on at the estate.
I loved how the beginning of the book instantly pulls you into the mystery and atmosphere of Craven Manor.
This is the first book that I’ve read of Darcy Coates and I was impressed. I enjoyed her writing, the plot of the book and how she kept me guessing as the book moved along.
Craven Manor starts off with the main character, Daniel getting a strange note slid under his apartment door. Inside the note, it’s offering him a job as a groundskeeper at an old, run down estate. He’s given a location and a set of rules to follow if he takes the job.
Will he take the job and follow all these rules?! He's in a tough spot because he really needs the job and some sort of stability. He's presently renting a room from his asshole of a cousin, Kyle and needs a better situation.
I liked Daniel! He’s a bit naïve but he means well. I think his character was meant to be this naïve, but I did get a bit frustrated with him at times.
I would think, “Don’t do that Daniel and do you really believe Kyle?!” Oh Daniel…
He’s the guy you love but want to hit over the head because he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.
I liked how the book ended and the resolutions that came about from the mystery of the Myrick family. I liked that part along with some of the supernatural elements added to the book.
I will read more books by Darcy Coates in the future! I was impressed!
Recommended to fans of ghost, supernatural and mystery genres!

Taky velice zajímavý příběh. Tady jsem se jen vůbec nebála, ale hlavního hrdinu jsem měla ráda, i když jsem někdy nedokázala pochopit jeho stále hezké chování, k jeho tak chamtivému bratranci. Ano Kyla jsem opravdu nesnášela. A jinak knihu doporučuji líbila se mi a četla se velmi svižně.
This is my second haunted house book by Darcy Coates, and I enjoyed this one just as much as the first. She weaves a very interesting storyline and includes great characters that you grow to care for. It's also quite spooky, with many twists and turns throughout, so you're never quite sure what's going to happen. But, without giving anything away, I will say that I loved the ending. And I'm looking forward to reading more from this author!
Good, not very scary for those who want light horror!
