Thank you to those that recommended I read this book, it was intense, atmospheric and spine-chilling! The best sort of ghost story.
A small cast of characters that I cared about what happened to them, and a real slow burner yet I read the book in a day.
I dreaded the ending so much yet I had to know what happened like I was reading a true story. I thrived on the feeling of constantly being on edge! I’ve never been one that is scared by the weather or darkness but I found myself peeking up at the window expecting to see someone there.
I implore those who love an intense ghost story to read this book! You will not be disappointed, even better reading at night.
