CRYPT
Darkness held sway in this part of the house; it seemed to be a solid mass that would forever forbid light to enter in. Along with the Darkness came its best friends Damp and Chill, both provided ample deterrents of their own to unwanted guests. Today there were new guests wandering the hallways above
The house was best described as being of cold stone, green with age the land around it seeming to feel the pressure of those accumulated years. The house stood a little alone, aged and almost forgotten. There had been people, there had been laughter but the last of the people were gone. It had been known by many names, each one given by the tenant that briefly stayed. Even those that stayed for what to them was an age were to the house were but passing fancies.
The gardens once immaculate and envied by many around were now forests of unkempt brush, bushes had become trees and wild trees had added their spawn to the growing tangle. None of the sunlit paths that had wound their merry ways around the grounds survived the onslaught of nature.
Of the nature that infested the grounds most of it was plant. The few rodents that strayed in seemed to stray straight back out again, the message was plain if you are not a plant it is unhealthy to reside within these lands. Other things were claimed to live if live were a word that could be applied to them. Rumour abounded of things that went bump in the night, but that surely was just the local gossip and derived from the long absence of residence.
The house currently bore the name of the Smithson Place. The name on the gate was unreadable, but trace memory within the village where it stood said that the Smithson name was the last family to live there. If this were the case such was the loss of time no one could actually be sure.
Built at a time when manors were common, it had once commanded and controlled at least the part of the village where it stood. Generations had lived and died there and few had found rest below.

Ok I found this book a bit strange - I mean I'm all for strange but this one was very strange - it was good, I mean it had plenty of sex, with a bit of mystery, a side of thriller and a lot of freaky in it!!
If u like something "Different" and "Unusual" then you should defo read this book !! I'm still a little unsure and if I'm honest confused about the ending!! But over all I still enjoyed it! ;)

well this book was a first for me
have you ever had a dream that felt so real when you woke up you were disappointed that it was just a dream
well I can promise you the characters in this book were anything but disappointed
if it were possible to live in this house and have these experience then I for one would be 1st in line
this book is a little different to the books I normally read but as I was reading it I realised it has all I look for and then some again Cole never fails to deliver some truly gripping and inspiring sex scenes that will leave the reader a lil flushed and only hoping their dreams can live up to the experiences of those throughout the book!!
thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to what's next to come from Cole browning

What a ghostly tale Cole has told. Brilliant and as always with a good twist at the end, this book kept me enthralled with its tale of lust and erotic adventures of one family and their adventures within a house. The cover looked scarier than the book, I was reluctant to buy it at first but am more than pleased that I did. Always love the way Cole tells his stories he has a way of story telling that doesn't leave your bored or saying to yourself 'I have read that in a lot of other books.' If you like reading Cole Browning then this book is a ghostly must.

Cole Browning delivers another amazing story. When you have hot sexy dreams and then mix in phantoms from the past you really don't want to wake up! This book will have your jaw dropping and scare the bejeeses out of all in the span of a few pages. Cole Browning writes in a way that draws you into the story so that you actually yell !!! DO NOT GO DOWN THERE! ! A fantastic read.

I could not finish this book. Not one I can recommend. Trigger warnings should be noted for anyone that has suffered abuse or rape.
