Well.....what to say about this book.

I tried to get into the storyline, but it was a struggle as there is just way too much detail about every little thing with the main character. Like I had said on a general update the other day "detail overload" and as much as I love details with characters and storyline, I do not need a "play by play" of every little thing the character does as it throws the whole storyline off.

I made it up to about the 25% mark and I hadn't even entered the spooky manor that this story is about, so laying this one down and adding it to my dnf shelf. I was really looking forward to this book as I had read another book by this author that I loved, but just because this book didn't work for me doesn't mean I will stop reading this author. Sometimes it is just hit and miss. With dnf books there will be no rating.… (lisätietoja)

Wow! This was a spooky haunted tale!

A small backstory:

The Jeffersons (William and Celia) along with their two young daughters move into a home that is known as the Porter House and which is known throughout the town as being haunted as a woman (Catherine Porter) killed her son in the house. Though William and Celia really do not believe in ghosts and hauntings they just throw caution to the wind and ignore the warnings/whispers of the towns people.

Not too long after getting settled though an apparition appears of an old woman and she seems to linger in the daughters bedrooms. But the parents kind of ignore the claims of their daughters of seeing the ghost until things start happening to them as well. When Celia encounters the ghost of the old woman along with feeling cold drafts in the house she freaks out to the point that she contacts paranormal investigators to help her out with the ghost. Things go from bad to worse as the paranormal investigators encounter another entity that is far more powerful and malevolent which is far beyond their capability so they will need to enlist someone to help them get rid of the entity as when it gets angry there will be hell to pay for all involved!

Thoughts:

This was a new author to me and I was impressed how the story slowly builds up the suspense and mystery of the haunting. Everything that happens within the house just goes slow at first with a sighting here and there with whispers/voices, cold drafts, and doors slamming on their own, which is the basic routine of a haunting.

About half way through the book the story escalates slightly as more things are happening (physical contact with the family and an evil voice making itself known) as the entity has manifested itself more throughout the storyline, but the last half of the book I read within 12 hours as I just could not put it down as the haunting skyrocketed with the entity causing havoc with the family!

This story was super spooky in the last half of the book which with me reading it during the night when things were quiet had me jittery as I kept thinking I was seeing shadows flitting in the corner of my room and I had some crazy dreams. Normally I don't have weird dreams when reading ghost stories as I consider myself desensitized to horror but some spooky stories sometimes creep under my skin and invade my dreams if I am really into the storyline which I was deep into this book!

I have more books by this author which I will be stepping into at some point and looking forward to reading more of his work. Giving this one five "Hellish Haunting" stars!

Killer Kraken!

Backstory:

The fishing port of Skullen Bay on the coast of England is usually peaceful and quiet, but something stirs in the sea and when it comes partially ashore swiping an elderly man (Cappy) off the dock while he is sleeping is when the village is turned upside down as no one believes Sam who is the village drunk that a creature from the sea is responsible. They just assume that Sam is making up stories from the bottle.

Then a couple nights later it happens again with someone being snatched from the beach and Sam tells Oswald Seaton the police sergeant that something is out there in the ocean - a sea creature. No one still believes Sam. The police just think that they have a "someone" on their hands that is up to no good not a "something".

As time goes on and more deaths start taking place with people missing is when action is finally taken as they realize that there is a kraken that has gone wild with hunger and it is on a feeding frenzy spree as nowhere seems to be safe around Skullen Bay!

Thoughts:

This was a great story and there was action right away with the kraken along with some suspense buildup throughout the book as more characters became involved in the story. There are a few characters you get to know from the village of Skullen Bay and what their part in the story becomes as the book moves into a fast paced speed.

The last half of the book went into overdrive as the kraken creature became even more active, but there is a small twist at the end of the book that made me think there could be a sequel later. All in all the story has lots of creature action and I stayed away a couple or so nights flipping through the pages to see what was going to happen next! Giving this story four "Tentacles Terror" stars!
