Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed it, the audiobook is great. Leigh lives alone, no friends and hasn‘t see her sister for a long time. She starts to listen noises at night, a figure trying to enter into her room and that voice. Oh, how well this part was dramatized in the audiobook. Can‘t say much but the story has a couple of twist, some I didn‘t expected, some I suspected. If you enjoyed Darcy Dark and the movie The Others, there is a high chance you will like it

I guessed the initial twist and sort of guessed the final twist, but the book somehow ended up being more than I thought it would be. I enjoyed it!

This is last years Spooky box from Once Upon a Book Club and this a how far behind I am reading my boxes! 🤣 I so wish I would have read this book sooner because I was so surprised by it. I was expecting a ghost story but this was so much more. I definitely plan to read more books by Darcy Coates because I loved this one so much.

What I enjoyed: Coates has a gift for creepy prose. If you want to linger in the blow-by-blow details of every millisecond of a haunting, this book is for you.

That said, it was agonizingly slow. There's not a lot of character development at first. Normally, I would DNF a book like this, but it's spooky season, so I pushed through. I'm glad I did. I'll admit the ending got me and I shed a few tears.

Well that was one creepy-ass read! I started reading it yesterday evening but had to abandon it & pick it up again this morning. I usually complain that horror books are not scary enough, but I don't have that complaint here.

I can't say too much about the plot without giving it away, so I will just say that this is the second book I've read by this author & I've loved both, although endings are not their strong point. 4🌟

I'm hoping to finish this today in honor of #BirthdayBash of @TheAromaofBooks so far this novel is 🤯😱 and I'm loving it. #scary #Horror #Halloween Happy Birthday Sarah!

A perfect case for sticking with a slow book. Told in first person voice, I was having trouble connecting with Leigh. A recluse who shuns human contact, she wasn‘t a super interesting or sympathetic character. Is she going crazy? Is she being haunted? I was a bit bored, and then about a third of the way in I was enthralled by a turn and stayed riveted to the end. By the end, I really liked Leigh and was emotionally invested. Worth the slow start!
