The Carrow Haunt

"Such a good book! I wasn’t expecting the ending and I absolutely loved it. Darcy Coates is an amazing author. "

""How can you kill the unkillable?"<br/><br/>I've been meaning to read a book by Darcy Coates for forever, and I finally picked up The Carrow Haunt, which is a new release from this year. I ended up really enjoying it! <br/><br/>I can always be drawn in with a haunted house story. The Carrow Haunt has such a fun set-up - it's kind of similar to Hell House, except it doesn't suck (sorry, not sorry). The main character is a tour guide at a haunted inn, and she ends up getting the opportunity to stay there for 2 weeks to study the inn. I love it! <br/><br/>Does this book bring anything new to the haunted house genre? Not really, but it's so damn entertaining. I was addicted to the story, and I couldn't get through it fast enough. It had a couple good spooky scenes, and I enjoyed being creeped out. <br/><br/>I liked the characters, and I absolutely loved that nobody could be trusted in such a creepy environment. I suspected everyone of something at some point. There are some surprising reveals, and I am happy that I didn't automatically solve everything. <br/><br/>The only thing I didn't like was the ending, which is why this wasn't a 5⭐ read for me. I'm not really going to go into why to avoid spoilers, but I feel like it didn't really match with the doom and gloom that had been perfectly built by this book. This is just personal preference, so it may work really well for another reader. It wasn't a terrible ending; I was just a bit disappointed.<br/><br/>I am definitely a Darcy Coates fan now. This is one of the better haunted house stories I've read , and I can't wait to read more from her. If you haven't read her books yet, I highly recommend picking this one up."

"The Carrow Haunt is AMAZING. It is great to leave your heart racing, no idea what’s going to happen next, and it even has a small mix of romance. "

"Twisty and turny plot but predictable ending, I still enjoyed it a lot."

"whew! what a ride this book took me on! it was a good start not too slow and not too fast either. the plot twist was not what i was expecting and the very end was very cute but kinda predictable with everything the two characters went through. definitely worth the read without giving anything away."

"I liked the book up until the end. The end wasn’t bad, but I wish it could have ended in the direction it seemed to be going without having the last minute twist. Other than that the book was pretty good! "

"Loved loved loved this read. It was my first of her books that I’ve picked up and so far has been my favorite. Her writing style really draws you in and helps create the perfect atmosphere for scares."

"Such a great read! Suspenseful and horrific, funny and romantic. It's not too often a ghost story turns into a love story."

"I liked it but at the end of every chapter there was a cliffhanger then in the next chapter it’s a false alarm not bad."

"Me too! I just started “Within These Walls” by Ania Ahlborn. I just finished “The Troop” by Nick Cutter. I really enjoyed that one, it was very graphic, but very entertaining."
