About this ebook

Everyone knows about Ashburn House. They whisper its old owner went mad, and restless ghosts still walk the halls. They say it's the dwelling place of something cruel and sinister. But when Adrienne―desperate and in need of a place to stay―inherits the crumbling old mansion, she only sees it as a lifeline... until darkness falls.

Strange messages are etched into the walls. Furniture moves when she leaves the room. There's something here―something powerful, angry, and hell-bent on shaking things up. Worse, a grave hidden in the depths of the forest hints at a terrible, unforgivable secret. Eventually Adrienne can't ignore that a twisted thing lives in the house, its hungry eyes ever-watchful. Chasing the threads of a decades-old mystery, it isn't long before she realizes she's become prey to something deeply unnatural and intensely resentful.

She has no idea how to escape. She has no idea how to survive. Only one thing is certain: Ashburn's dead are not at rest.

Most of this book was pretty slow, it took so much time to get to the horror and explanation behind it. When we finally got there though, it was pretty scary!

I loved it. This book definitely kept me on my toes. It was like I was scared, but I also couldn't put it down. Highly recommended to those who loves a good horror.

after seeing an influencer on Instagram reading this, I thought I would have a look. I downloaded a sample and within minutes was hooked. I could not put my phone down (read the ebook), even my kids were moaning because I burned their dinner as I was too busy having a 5 minute read. I loved the twists and turns of the book and Adrienne was so vulnerable yet headstrong. Her relationship with Wolf is so sweet and because it's just the two of them, you see how the rely on each other. I would say that if you are a bit of a scardycat do not read at night. I've never had a jump scare from a book before yet I certainly got one last night when engrossed in a chapter and my dog jumped into my bed! I really do recommend this book and can't wait to see what other books this author has to offer. spooky season is upon us so let's get some spooky reading in!
