Rancor: Sinister Attachments

by Connie Myres

A Paranormal, Psychological Thriller

Sometimes, resentful spirits pursue souls until they get what they want—vengeance and sinful pleasures.

SUMMARY
(Book 1) After Maggie McGee’s husband had committed suicide in their home, Maggie needed a place to live that would not remind her of the recent tragedy. She finds an affordable apartment in an old building sitting on a bluff along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Maggie knew the building used to be a tuberculosis sanatorium, later transformed into a psychiatric hospital until finally closing its doors in 1969 due to patient abuse. However, what she did not know was that sometimes, sinister attachments from the past pursue souls until their evil needs are satisfied. Maggie questions her sanity and grasp of reality, as diabolic and envious predators work against her in this paranormal, psychological thriller.

This story contains everything a horror and suspense fan needs: fear, excitement, intrigue, mystery suspense and horror. I would highly recommend it. I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving my review.

Personally, I found Rancor: Sinister Attachments to be an unique read. The characters are believable and the plot is strong. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

The main character, Maggie, has a hard time grasping the reality of what is happening around, and to, her. Things she would normally catch onto, pass right by, without her noticing that something is not right. Of course, she is still in shock from her husband’s suicide.

I found the book to be an interesting and fast read. I highly recommend it to all fans of paranormal thrillers. Connie Myres has definitely been added to my list of favorite authors. I anxiously await Book 2!

I received a free PDF copy of Rancor: Sinister Attachments fro Story Cartel in exchange for an honest review.

I received a free download of this book from Story Cartel, thank you!
This book was an entertaining read. It has all the elements of a good horror story, and is definitely not a book to read while you are alone late at night.
The ending leaves you hanging, and eager to read the next book. I really want to find out what happens to Maggie!
I would recommend this story to fans of horror fiction, and I will read more by this author.

I feel like this could have been a much better story (not to mention way less infuriating) if Maggie hadn't been such an idiot about things.

For a grown woman (apparently) she was incredibly obtuse.

I felt like there was no suspense in it because I already guessed the plot points way before they were revealed.

Just read this as a First Read book and finished it in one sitting! She keeps you hooked with the suspense and character development. It is a unique story with an ending I didn't see coming! I highly recommend this if you're looking for a suspenseful or creepy read. Looking forward to reading the second book!

Interesting written paranormal. The story line is well written and the characters if made into a movie would scare the pants off of anyone.

I'm confused! Did I "do" something incorrectly? The "draw line" was free mysteries, but almost every one of book was $2.99. ???
