There's something wrong with Ashburn House... The ancient building has been the subject of rumours for close to a century. Its owner, Edith, refused to let guests inside and rarely visited the nearby town. Following Edith's death, her sole surviving relative, Adrienne, inherits the property. Adrienne's only possessions are a suitcase of luggage, twenty dollars, and her pet cat. Ashburn House is a lifeline she can't afford to refuse. Adrienne doesn't believe in ghosts, but it's hard to ignore the unease that grows as she explores her new home. Strange messages have been etched into the wallpaper, an old grave is hidden in the forest behind the house, and eerie portraits in the upstairs hall seem to watch her every movement. As she uncovers more of the house's secrets, Adrienne begins to believe the whispered rumours about Ashburn may hold more truth than she ever suspected. The building has a bleak and grisly past, and as she chases the threads of a decades-old mystery, Adrienne realises she's become the prey to something deeply unnatural and intensely resentful. Only one thing is certain: Ashburn's dead are not at rest.

"this was a good listen! i did guess the plot twist but not in it’s entirety. this definitely had me on edge listening to the close encounters but i loved it! this is my first book by this author and i will be reading/listening to more."

"Great book! I listened to it two times in a row—once by myself and then again to share it with my husband. I didn’t see the ending coming the first time and loved catching new details on the second listen through. I’ve already recommended it to a handful of people and have definitely added it to my reread list! I agree with some of the reviews that say it’s a bit slow in the beginning, but I think it adds to the charm after having read it."

"Loved it!"
Catelyn Hunter
"Better than expected! The only thing for me and so many books like this do this... do people not explore their whole house the day they move in???? They always have them discovering rooms as they go. Like wouldn't you explore your new house and start thinking about what you want to do with the space? That's so weird to me. Anyway, I enjoyed the ending to this book and how it all came together."
Meagan Khatthaname
"This book is filled with suspense, supernatural mystery, and an amazing level of spookiness. This is one of my favorite horror genre novels and it’s from an independent rising author. It’s worth the read and perfect for when you’re in the mood for something spooky! 👻 "

"I would have liked for the lore to have been slightly better fleshed out but the books has great moments of tension and I love when the monsters are real!"

"3.75/5 stars
A quick read - story line was common, but if you like ghost stories, it was well-written. "

"Definitely a fan of Darcy Coates haunted house books. Love the creepy stories about the haunted house and weird/creepy family it came from or living in it. I will be picking up more of her books."
