Four "Haunted Mystery" Stars
Suspensefully Spooky!
A small taste of what lies within:
Travis Glasgow a horror writer and his wife, Jodie have moved to Maryland with the buying of a new home. Travis is not far from his brother, Adam who lives behind them. As Travis and Jodie start to settle into their new home it isn't long before Travis starts hearing things within the house and soon realizes that the house is haunted.
When Travis delves into the history of the house he soon finds out that a little boy named Elijah drowned in the lake that is by their house which stirs up sad memories from his past. The more that Travis investigates the mystery surrounding the death of Elijah it seems that the house becomes more haunted to the point where Travis feels he might be losing his mind!
That is about all I can give on a small taste so if you want to know more then go read this book!
Thoughts:
This was a great haunted story, but wasn't scary enough to require it to be a five star read. At times I felt that it would drag in spots and not keep my attention span at full alert. The pace of the story was up and down for me but I did enjoy the mystery of the haunting and liked how the author slowly built up the suspense.
I liked the characters in this one too and felt connected to Travis along with his feelings of what he was experiencing in the house and his feelings from the past.
All in all I felt the story was really good but I think it could have been scarier with a leave the lights on feeling as the atmosphere to me wasn't enough to make me jump or become spooked while reading it.
I have been wanting to read this book for awhile as I have owned it for a long time and I am happy that I finally stepped into it. I have a few more Malfi books on my kindle that I need to read at some point as well.
