About this listen

When Guy finds the deed to a house in his mother's attic, it seems like an incredible stroke of luck. Sure, it hasn't been inhabited in years, and vines strangle the age-stained walls, but Guy's convinced he can clean the building up and sell it. He'd be crazy to turn down free money. Right?

Rookward House may be hours away from its nearest neighbor, but he can't escape the feeling that he's being watched. Still, he doesn't believe in ghost stories and decides to camp in the crumbling old mansion 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 the haunting house, with its twisting shadows and whispering walls. The dilapidated rooms aren't as empty as they seem. Forty years ago, a deranged woman tormented the family that made Rookward its home. Now her ghost clings to the building like rot. She's bitter, obsessive, and fiercely jealous, and once Guy has moved into her house, she has no intention of letting him go.

I still like how she writes with no curse words and uber smut. She’s got the good spooky creepy thing going. I keep reading her books that’s a good sign!!!

Good fun

This is my kind of book! Ghost, haunted house, no explicit unnecessary sex or gore, and a great narrator…perfect way to escape the real world for a bit!!

Great!!

I love this books it’s well done except the ending does feel rushed and may not be the best ending to my opinion

I always enjoy the author's creativity and how she always steers the story into an unexpected turn. Darcy has been one of the only author's that has given me shivers based off of a creepy detail or image that she created. I'm aiming towards collecting all of her books because she is one of my favorite horror writer's.

Psychological manipulation

I read this for a book club- I found the whole novel superficial. There is no character development for Guy and being stuck with that character was boring. I wish there was more backstory with the haunted house.
