Well, I finished reading this over the course of the weekend. Towards the later half of the book, the main character suffered some injuries and I thought the author went a little overboard with that. I understand that this is a work of fiction……that nothing in the book is suppose to be true and you’re suppose to suspend beliefs for a while (like you do when you watch tv shows or movies). But I still think it was a little overkill and I’m sure you’ll see what I mean if you decide to read this for yourself. Other than that, I liked the book as there was a good story line throughout. I also liked how the story ended in the very last chapter.
Synopsis: When Guy finds the deeds to a house in his mother’s attic, it seems like an incredible stroke of luck. Sure, the building hasn’t been inhabited in forty years and vines strangle the age-stained walls, but Guy is convinced he can clean it up and sell it. He’d be crazy to turn down free money. Right?
The house is hours from any other habitation, and Guy can’t get phone reception in the old building. He decides to camp there while he does repairs. Surely nothing too bad can happen in the space of a week.
But there’s a reason no one lives in Rookward House, and the dilapidated rooms aren’t as empty as they seem…
A deranged woman tormented a family in Rookward forty years before. Now her ghost clings to the building like rot. She’s bitter, obsessive, and jealous… and once Guy has moved into her house, she has no intention of ever letting him leave.
