Oh man! Spooky and twisted is the best way to describe this book. It has alternating viewpoints and time periods.
Starts out 60 years in the past as a mad psychiatrist is trying to escape his own facility. He didn't make it. The facility is on it's own island and he's made some serious enemies.
Flash forward to present day and a group of young ghost hunters are headed to the island to try to catch some footage of paranormal activity. The ghosts come out almost as soon as they get there and they're being picked off one at a time.
I absolutely enjoyed this book and will read more from this author.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I kind of wish I would have found his books much sooner. Highland Cove is full of twist and turns in a creepy building with creepy ghosts. Will definitely be reading more of his work now that I'm done with this one!

I have given this book four out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the exact book that I needed. I've been really struggling with the ability to really get into a book since the pandemic of the Coronavirus struck, but this book managed to keep my focus throughout and I found it very difficult to put it down.
Wow. The opening line had me hooked from the get go: “The only thing that mattered was survival.” This intrigued me to find out what was going to happen and I was right to be intrigued as this book had a twist in there I didn't see coming at all.
All the characters were well-developed; the author gave them all a voice and you learnt about their backgrounds through each chapter. I liked the past chapters, where there was an explanation about what happened 60-70 years ago at this asylum.
Morgan's writing style is very clever and manages to reel the reader in with the detailed descriptions of a haunted abandoned asylum on an island, with all of these mysterious and spooky things happening around the characters, you're just so intrigued to find out what is going to happen next. Morgan uses vivid imagery which really helped me to picture what was happening clearly.
I hope to read more of this authors material in the future and would definitely recommend this book to fans of mystery and horror stories.
