Five "Spooky Shivering" Stars
Spooked Out of My Skin!!
A taste of what lies within:
There is an island called The Sorrows that is located not too far from the coastline of California which has a castle that has been abandoned for a very long time. There were murders that happened in the castle back in the 1920's along with something happening to a research team in the 1970's and the castle was shut down to avoid anything bad happening to anyone else.
When two film composers Eddie and Ben are offered a chance to stay in the castle for a month from the owner, they jump at the chance to go as they are wanting to film a horror movie and what better place to get inspiration than to stay in a supposedly haunted castle.
Eddie and Ben decide to take along two female companions, Eva and Claire, so that they can all take advantage of the opportunity to be in the castle. The only way to get to the island is by helicopter so there is a little trepidation among Eva and Claire as they worry if something should happen then a rescue is impossible as there is no phone and internet communications available on the island.
The castle has new visitors and it has been a very long time since fresh meat walked through its doors. Something has been dormant for a long time, but it has now woken up when it realizes that tenants have arrived!
What is laying in wait at The Sorrows? What have Eddie and Ben walked into? Does anyone survive The Sorrows? That is about all I can give on a taste without giving away spoilers, so if you want to know more than you will need to read the book!
Thoughts:
Very atmospheric haunting book and some chapters have a journal that was written describing the history of the island from the past which gives more insight of how the castle came to be haunted.
Mysterious, suspenseful, fast paced with blood and gore!
Second time reading this book and better the second time around which is driving up my star rating to five as I could not put the book down! Gore suit time and insomnia fuel of this book just kept me glued to my kindle!
Note: There is a sequel to this book called the Castle of Sorrows which I am planning on reading before the end of this year. :)
