Five "Ghostly Spine Shivers" Stars
Awesome Ghost Story!
Backstory:
Owen Saddler heads up to the town of Peace Falls to bury his sister Lori as she died while scuba diving in a lake named Chapel Lake. Owen doesn't understand how Lori could have drowned when she knew about scuba diving so he tries to delve deep into the mystery of her death.
There is quite a bit of speculation and dark mystery surrounding Chapel Lake as it is centered around a church that became flooded and now sits at the bottom of the lake. The only landmark that the church ever existed is the steeple sticking up out of the water.
From the moment that Owen arrives in town, spooky things start happening to him as he thinks he sees Lori's ghost but he thinks that maybe it is just the grief of losing his sister. As time goes on he realizes that maybe the town and lake are haunted so he decides to find out what is causing the haunting and why it is centered around the church.
Thoughts:
This story is a reread for me as I read it back in 2017 and it is the debut book by author, Duncan Ralston. When I first read it back then I was just mesmerized by the story telling as the story kept me tied up with spooky atmosphere.
On this second reread of it I think I became more spooked out by the story as I had some really weird ghostly dreams and that says a lot for me as that means the book became locked into my psyche with not letting me go!
There is tons of haunting atmosphere within these pages and the book is definitely staying as a five star read plus will be staying on my favorites shelf. Giving this book five "Ghostly Spine Shivers" stars!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
