 Well-written haunted house, serial killer, poor heroine novel that you will love while eating cookies and milk in bed. I am a lover of all things haunted, and Darcy Coates DID NOT let me down with The Haunting of Blackwood House. Whoo hoo, Darcy! Thank you.
I love to read but I am particular about reading only what I love or what will educate me. Everything else I pretty much leave alone. It is so nice to know you have a good book waiting on your nightstand when you go to bed. It gives you something to look forward to all day. The Haunting of Blackwood House is such a book, and it is FREE on Kindle Unlimited. About the Book Mara grows up in a house where her mother is a practicing spiritualist. Even though Mara doesn't like going to seances, her mother takes her anyway. At one point, Mara is warned she is a gifted medium. Sick to death of mediums and seances, she leaves her mother's house as soon as she is old enough to do so. To Mara, spiritualism is an impossibility and believes the entire lot of mediums are charlatans. Mara rents cheap apartments and sleeps on mattresses all the while hoping she will one day be able to afford a home of her own. She is beyond thrifty with her paycheck. She lives on cheap food, wears cheaper clothing, but finally, she has enough for a down payment. Around this time, she meets Neil who is a practicing Christian who respects her practical outlook on spirituality. After losing one house to an aggressive house hunter, Mara's real estate agent, Jenny, takes Mara and Neil to see Blackwood House, home to dead serial killer, Robert Kant, whose forte is children and who managed to murder six of them before hanging himself, three boys and three girls, plus the previous owner of Blackwood House. The house is old, the roof caving in, the furniture damp and discolored as well as disordered. Mummified food is left on plates sitting on the table, crowded around each other as if needing comfort to remain as they are. Pictures hang askew, rugs are mildewed and rotten, but the house is cheap. In fact, the house is exactly what Mara has been looking for. She believes she can create something beautiful, a home where she can live and perhaps Neil can join her there someday. The house is bought, Neil has taken the liberty to stay the night, and the first evening is filled with practical impossibilities, at least in Mara's eyes. Not so much in Neil's who is starting to believe there might be something more happening in Blackwood house than meets the eye. It is then, the fun begins.
