Playtime: Prince Edward Island
Darkness is often the playground of the supernatural … the eerily unexplained.
Yeo House is a haunted country home in Eastern Canada’s beautiful province of Prince Edward Island. The stately seaside mansion of a shipbuilding magnate and his family in the 1800’s, it was given new life in the twenty-first century. During renovations something unusual was found hidden in the walls — a small toy dog on wheels. Now freed from his wall prison, it seems he’s still being played with by the ghost of the child who once owned him.
When four year-old Della Sayer and her parents visit the historic Yeo mansion to see the famous Wheelie, the little girl makes a strange and powerful connection with the antique toy. It is an unsettling paranormal knowing, a kindred ethereal awareness….
Life for the Sayers will never be the same again.

If you want to be scared out of your wits, then read Playtime. Eden Monroe has really done it this time. Fascinating, realistic, horrifying are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind when I try to describe the events that happen as you read Playtime.
I’m not going to tell the reader any more. There’s just one thing I have to say about Playtime. Read it! What a fantastic, terrible, frighteningly realistic story Eden Monroe has written. This is a great read.

I connected with the protagonist Jill from the very beginning. I sympathized with her story and cheered her on.
The underlying story of events surrounding it made me wonder whether it was a trick of the mind or actually real. It kept me intrigued to the very last page.
Well done!
