Hauntingly Good

I definitely went into this book expecting that it wouldn't be my cup of tea, and while ghosts and hauntings are not my favorite type of horror, this book was so well-written I couldn't help but love it. The atmosphere and setting were perfect and the motivation of these ghosts really tugged on my heartstrings. This was an excellent story, but I did feel it was more sad than spooky in the end.

Tragic ghost story

Oh this book was heartbreaking and creepy. I loved the atmosphere surrounding the book. I loved the characters. This book was a fast read that engaged me from the start. I was compelled to push forward with each chapter. This book was beautiful and heartfelt. I would definitely read this book again.

Can a ghost story be beautiful? apparently yes.

What an incredibly beautiful and haunting story. To say this book is atmospheric is an absolute understatement. I got so lost in the history of the land and the tragedy of the people while loving the people involved in the modern-day world. This is definitely a book I'll be coming back to. The narrator also completely transports you into this world, what an incredible voice.

A Truly Good Story

This is a slow burn and it is truly worth it. It is a partially historical ghost story that unfolds in a fun way as you put together it's pieces. You ARE the main character as this story is written beautifully in first person, which I love. And I felt these characters. They meant something to me. I was concerned, scared for, and loved them. Russ Bain doesn't read this book, her performs it ... he is this book. Russ performance, paired with the flawless writing of M. L., makes this a great audiobook which, if you love a slow burning ghost story with mystery and a tad bit of history, this book should be your next read.

Thanks to M. L. and Russ.

Great read!

This story was sad and bittersweet. The story flowed well, the author's writing somewhat prose. The narrator's voice was perfect and really lent to the prose feel of it.
