Nightingale House by Steve Frech
3.0
Thank you NetGalley for an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.
After losing his wife in a horrific car accident, writer Daniel Price and his young daughter Caitlyn settle into the lakeside home the family had purchased prior to the tragedy. This majestic residence, known as Nightingale House, has a sordid past that is revealed through both creepy present-day happenings and old journal entries. As the house takes it toll on Daniel and Caitlyn, he must uncover the home's secrets and save both him and his daughter from the evil forces locked within its walls. Themes of grief and loss are explored simultaneously.
Liked:
I love a haunted house story,
I liked the characters, both main and supporting.
Disliked:
I wish the house had been further described and made to be another character in the story.
I would consider this "horror light" - it's more suspenseful than horror.
It wasn't as much of a page-turner as I had hoped.
It was decent, and a quick read.
