THE HAUNTING OF ASHBURN HOUSE by Darcy Coates I had high hopes for this one, but alas. I loved the creepy house at the edge of town, the lone grave tucked away in the woods, the eerie family portraits in the hallway… However, an unsettling atmosphere can only go so far. Adrienne, was so… dumb. And naive! I never felt she was in any real danger. Where’s the tension or suspense? Too much time was spent describing mundane tasks (making tea, feeding her cat etc.) which didn’t add to or further the plot. In fact, nothing exciting happened until I got to the last third of the book. Then it became a “cozy” horror with a zombie and meh —I just didn’t buy it. Also? Adrienne is in a dark house with electricity issues, no oil for the old fashioned oil lamp, no batteries for a flashlight, yet she never thinks to LIGHT the bajillion candles in the attic?! Gah! Honorable mention for Wolfgang the kitty (because I have a kitty named Wolfgang!); he was the best part of this book. The rest of it? Eh —it was fine, but not great. Rating: 3/5 ⭐️

Could NOT stop listening!

I listened to the audiobook version! I think it’s just predictable (or so you think) enough to keep you interested.

Great book!

All of Darcy Coates are amazing! If you spooky thriller books then this is the author for you. I have read 11 of her books and can’t wait to read more!

Amazing book

This book keeps you guessing. If you love mystery and supernatural, you’ll love this book!

Could not put this down

Another great read by Darcy Coates! This book makes the 3rd book of hers that I have read and so far they have all been great reads. It's hard to put the book down once you start.

Great book!

If you like a good mystery mixed with the supernatural this is the book for you.
