Five "Spooky Scares" Stars
What Kind of Entity Lives in the House on Edgewood Drive?
A small taste of what lies within:
Clio Barnes along with her two sisters (Daphne and Leda) have inherited their childhood home from their mother who has just passed away. Clio's sisters, Daphne and Leda want no part of the home as all they can remember when they lived there were bad times and their mother acting crazy.
Clio on the other hand wants to fix up the house to maybe sell it however her memories about the house do not coincide with her sisters and their memories. The house is also considered to be haunted and the only sister brave enough to enter the house seems to be Clio. What Clio finds there though is more than she bargained for as when she starts to fix up the house there is a presence that tries to make itself known which sends Clio down a rabbit hole of curiosity and spooky speculation!
That is about all I can hand out with a small taste so if you want to know more then go read this book!
Thoughts:
This was my first time reading this author and I wasn't sure how spooky or scary this book was going to be until I read a couple or so reviews which I usually do not do as normally I go into a book blind by just reading the synopsis of what the book is about. But a couple of reviews that I read said the book was scary so I love scary books and being spooked out of my skin which is what this book does eventually.
The story has a slow build up of suspense and mystery - there is also quite a bit of family drama that is throughout the whole book with the sisters bickering about the house but once I delved deep into the story of the house then the creepy factor of the story slowly started to simmer bringing it to a full blown haunting by the time I finished the book! I can actually say that I was spooked out of my skin after I passed the 60% mark of the book as the haunting becomes more focused on what happens in the house and how the characters have to deal with it.
Looking forward to reading more by this author at some point as I see that she has quite a few books out there to read.
