the haunting of ashburn house by darcy coates

Honestly, a cat doesn’t need that much to survive. (Also, the cat was fat, obviously due to the crazy amount of food she was feeding him. I found myself wanting to reach into the book and shake her … would she spend so much on her cat when she can barely feed herself? No, I of course wouldn’t want the cat to starve, but it certainly doesn’t need Adrienne’s last can of sardines where there’s a perfectly good bag of cat food right there in the pantry. Exactly what I like in the horror genre:lots of creepiness and wondering what precisely is going on.īut then we move into Adrienne’s day-to-day life, wherein she makes a lot of tea and spends an excessive amount of money on her cat.

Hmmm, so who is this mysterious aunt? And why would Adrienne’s mother lie to Adrienne about her existence?

Actually, she was more than estranged-Adrienne’s mother (who had recently passed) had sworn they had no other relatives. Adrienne moves into a spooky old house bequeathed to her by her estranged Aunt Edith. “The Haunting of Ashburn House” was the first book I’ve read by Darcy Coates, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Something twisted and evil lives in her house, and Adrienne must race to unravel the decades-old mystery… before she becomes Ashburn’s latest victim. And a grave hidden in the forest hints at a terrible, unforgivable secret. Furniture moves when she leaves the room. Strange messages have been etched into the wallpaper. She doesn’t know why her estranged Aunt Edith bequeathed Ashburn to her, but it’s a lifeline she can’t afford to refuse.Īdrienne doesn’t believe in ghosts, but it’s hard to rationalize what she sees. When Adrienne arrives on the gothic house’s doorstep, all she has is a suitcase, twenty dollars, and her pet cat. They say its old owner, Edith, went mad in the building, and that restless ghosts walk the halls at night.

People whisper rumors about a family murdered at Ashburn House.
