Three "No Need to Leave the Light On" Stars
No scares here!
A small taste of what is within:
Eliza Caine takes a job as a governess in a manor called Gauldin Hall. When Eliza first arrives she is greeted by one of the children instead of the parents and she wonders where the parents are hiding. The first night she is grabbed by the ankles in her bed by an unseen force which leads her on the road to finding out what is haunting the manor and her quest on finding out what happened to the parents of the children as they never make an appearance.
That is about all I can give on a small taste as you will need to read my fully review on Goodreads.
Thoughts:
First time reading this author and I struggled with the story as it was a slow burn on the haunting. A couple of things happened in the beginning of the book, but most of the story was wrapped around with the character Eliza trying to solve the mystery of what happened to the parents and why did it seem the children had the manor to themselves.
There are other characters that show up within the storyline, but the whole book is steeped in Eliza trying to find out what is going on within the manor. There is a haunting with a ghost but it is mild compared to what I was expecting and near the end of the book the ghost action finally goes into full throttle.

Your star rating made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteHappy to make you laugh! I try to come up with some different sayings for my ratings that fit the storyline and this book was such a disappointment with the haunting. I should have rated it lower. It has received up and down reviews too.
