A Haunting at Hensley Hall

With Halloween just around the corner, ghost stories make fantastic reads, and A Haunting at Hensley Hall is exactly the kind of ghost story that fits the holiday.

[easyazon-image-link asin="B005CKI3LQ" alt="A Haunting at Hensley Hall (A Ravynne Sisters Paranormal Mystery)" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ryJ-bbilL.jpg" align="left" width="307" height="500"]The story is set in an old mansion that two sisters win in an unusual contest held by a small town…the previous owners committed suicide, or so it seems, and there were no heirs, so the mansion is essentially “raffled off” to pay the back taxes that have accumulated on the property.

Of course, the mansion has a dark history, and is in a serious state of disrepair, but conveniently the sisters have the money to begin fixing it up to become a bed and breakfast. Along the way, the sisters begin to discover not only the ghosts, but the reasons for their presence, and the mystery deepens…

Mix in the forty year old disappearances of one of the previous occupants, and several of her teen aged friends…and you’ve got enough suspense in parts of the book to keep you reading well into the night!

If you’re a fan of semi-gothic, lighter horror stories, you’ll find yourself drawn into Hensley Hall along with Charlie, Meg, and the curious cast of characters they meet along the way, just as I was.

Even better, A Haunting at Hensley Hall is available in the Kindle store for just $.99, and I have to say, it’s money well spent!

What the Night Knows

What the Night Knows, Dean KoontzIf you’re a Dean Koontz fan, What the Night Knows won’t disappoint…

A serial murderer from two decades past is back to claim the one victim that escaped, and ultimately ended, his murderous rampage.  Not only is the killer after the victim, but also his family.  

The catch:  the serial killer is dead.  And yet, the murders of 20 years before are being repeated one by one…nearly exactly as before.

The storyline itself is interesting, and the writer draws you into the storyline almost immediately.  And, he seamlessly carries you back and forth between the murders of the past, the present, and into the distant past to tell the story of how the serial killer came to be the individual that he ultimately was.  

Having read literally all of Dean Koontz’s books, What the Night Knows is definitely one that I would highly recommend.

House of Dark Shadows Review

The House of Dark Shadows was one of the first books I downloaded to my Kindle, and since the author is attempting to sell the entire series, the first book was free.  Geared towards younger adults, it’s about a teen whose family moves from the city to the country… they discover an old victorian in the woods and ultimately purchase the home.  Xander, the teen, and his younger brother explore the house and begin to discover its secrets, only the house is not the only one with secrets.
