Five "Scary Demon" Stars
Haunting Horrors!
A taste of what lies within:
Emma Draper along with her husband and three children move into a new home out in the country. Not too long after moving in, things start happening in their home that is unexplained, along with some physical attacks from an unseen force. The events mostly happen to her and the children, but nothing happens to her husband and he seems to think that it is all in Emma's mind. He believes that the house is just settling along with the moans and groans of an old house.
Lights flicker off and on in the house, cupboards open and close on their own, doors open and slam shut through the house, cold drafts of air waft over the family, but the story really starts to ratchet up when the electricity goes off and they send for an electrician to fix the problem. Something ends up happening to him and Emma decides that she needs to find help for the problems in the house. She makes friends with a new neighbor across the street who helps her decide about having someone come out to check out the house, like maybe a medium.
Emma decides to get a medium involved but that doesn't help as whatever force is inside the house is beyond the capabilities of the medium, so Emma enlists the help of two brothers (Tim and Scott Devereaux) who are a paranormal team and when the brothers become involved, then things start really heating up in the house. Emma also starts having problems with her marriage and her husband decides not to stay with her as he would rather stay in the city to be close to his job. Though with her husband gone, the house becomes even more active which puts her and the children in even more danger.
Does Emma and her children escape the clutches of the entities in the house? Are the Devereaux brothers able to help Emma and her children with the evil entities in the house?
No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book to find out what happens.
Thoughts:
This is my second reread of this book as there are five books in this series and I am wanting to read the whole series now. Though the series is initially about the Devereaux brothers and each book is different as they go on ghost hunts.
This book though was one scary haunted house story and when I read it years ago the book scared me enough to leave the lights on as there is plenty of demon/ghost activity within this story and the book reminds me of the tv show "Supernatural" but with more of a twist.
There is a little bit of romance in the book, but nothing to deter from the haunting as it continues throughout most of the book. The characters are very believable and it was very easy to get attached to them along with their situations of what they were enduring.
Once again I was entrenched with this book and found my insomnia being fueled a few nights as I made my way through the story. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series to see what the Devereaux brothers find themselves wrapped up in next.
