Greyhaven House: A Haunted House Paranormal Mystery Thriller
Some houses don’t just hold secrets. They hold everything.
When investigative journalist Quinn Mercer returns to her late sister’s Victorian estate on the Maine coast, she expects grief, paperwork, and a property that needs selling. She finds something a diary open to a page that shouldn’t exist, skeletal remains sealed inside a wall with modern dental work, and a pattern of disappearances stretching back sixty years, all connected to the house, all ruled voluntary departures, all involving the same family name on every permit ever filed.
Mara was investigating Greyhaven House before she died. She was very close to the truth.
Quinn is a rationalist. She doesn’t believe in ghosts. She believes in documentation, evidence, and the specific kind of institutional complicity that keeps small towns silent for generations. What she finds in Greyhaven House challenges all three, because some of what she experiences can be explained, and some of it cannot, and the difference between those two categories keeps shifting the closer she gets to the center of the pattern.
A slow-burn psychological paranormal thriller for readers who want their horror grounded, their investigations real, and their ambiguity earned.
Greyhaven House is the first novel in the The Blackwood Files.

I enjoyed this modern thriller. Quinn Mercer is an investigative journalist who is settling the estate of a house that her sister died in. As she finds her sister’s notes and research on the house, Quinn believes her sister was murdered to cover up what the house has been hiding for decades. She decides to stay to discover what has been covered up and what is supernatural, regardless of the danger. This was a good read. Thrilling but not scary. I liked it and look forward to reading more in this series.

This was so good. So intense, and gripping. Once I started, I was living in this house. I was scouring through things with Quinn. So many unanswered questions. People disappearing, names all related on every document… it was crazy. Edge of the seat kind of read. The twists and turns were crazy. This was creepy good, thrilling, and such a good read.
