If there's anything that Darcy Coates is the queen at, it's making that comfortably scary atmosphere come to life. She's one of the greats at this for a reason.
The haunting of Ashburn House (2019)
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.
And then The Haunting of Ashurn House has to be one of my least favorite horror books that I've ever read. That was a one star for me.
I enjoyed it a lot I didn't love the twist which is why it's not any higher
this was just so good this just had all of that coziness and spookiness that i wanted in fact i stayed up until 3 am the first night i started this book and i got about halfway through just in the first night i just couldn't put it down
