There’s something wrong with Ashburn House…
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.

Finally...a Darcy Coates book where I'm not frustrated or left wanting by a character. Why stick around then? Because she really does write a good story. This isn't technically a haunted house story but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. The first half definitely had a creepy factor...unless you aren't the type to be creeped out by old houses left to you by a great aunt you never met and upon entering said house you see weird things but you can't ask anyone in the very small town because she was apparently eccentric and people steered cleared of her and her creepy house...but then why are you here?
I definitely enjoyed where it went. I even liked the ending. So i'm quite happy with that because this would have been the last Darcy book i'd have read otherwise.
I really wanted to like this, but the main character made so many bad decisions it made it hard to like it.
