Holy hell is this book terrifying. The imagery, the violence, the absolute terror - so good. The scene with the fox scarred me forever and Maya's family dying of carbon monoxide poisoning broke me.
The reveal that Nash had arranged for the Feenan's house to be broken into so that they'd move to Stone Cottage came as an absolute shock.
My heart was in my throat the entire time and reading this book and reading it in this not so post pandemic world was really stressful.
I also want to know if Peter was okay!

Made me scream out loud on two separate occasions.
More brilliantly macabre folk horror that I highly recommend.

Brilliant, I am fast becoming a fan of James Brogden's work.

It was 5 stars, i loved it. I got scared, loved the backstory and there was even a tear. But the ending... about the last 5 pages was not it i hated it. It still gets 4 stars for the rest of the reading expirience.

Spooky, but not TOO spooky. I like the family drama, the villainous town council and the plucky teen who solves the mystery.

Pretty fast paced read. I enjoyed the ghost parts in it and the gore, although it could get a little cheesy at some points. Plot was interesting and it was cool to read some historical fiction as well. Most of the characters are interesting ( but some could be a bit flat) to the point where some deaths did make me sad. Not a tear jerker, but good if you’re looking for something a bit spooky and entertaining. Giving it a three cause I feel like most characters could have had better dialogue.
