Nightingale House by Steve Frech

4.0

‘Nightingale House’ by Steve French is a classic story about a haunting. The vibe of this entire book is creepy and unnerving. It contains all the traditional elements of a haunting: a super old house, a little girl with an imaginary friend and a lot of tragic. Because of this, the story is quite predictable. However, that doesn’t make it less scary! French’s writing style is quite pleasant even though the shivers will run down your spine. You can’t help yourself but continue reading/listening. The story take place partially in the present and partially in the past and makes you feel both sad and scared at the same time, all of the time. It is a mystery what is happening and the house and what causes it. Since we are reading about the past, the answer must be searched there, but nothing specific stands out immediately. The story builds up the tention slowly and it will keep you on the edge of your seat.
