deanie 's review for:
The Haunting of Ashburn House
by Darcy Coates
Actually 3.5 stars
Caring for her dying mother has left Adrienne broke and nearly homeless, until she learns of an inheritance left by her great-aunt Edith, the reportedly haunted family mansion, Ashburn House. Addy and her cat, Wolfgang, move in, and try to make the best of things... but Eleanor's creepy messages are carved throughout the house, and something is stalking Adrienne in the dark, wanting desperately to get in her house.
The Haunting of Ashburn House is very creepy and atmospheric, from the first page to the last. It feels very Gothic, despite Adrienne being a modern woman. The first half of the book moves a little slowly, but I like the sense of paranoia Coates creates in the earlier parts of the book, when Addy doesn't know if the creepy goings on at the house are real or her imagination. All in all, it's a very good horror novel.
