The Covington Curse

by L.C. Kincaide

She didn’t believe in the curse of madness. By the time it’s over, she will. Constance Covington had never expected to set foot into Covington Hall again until an unexpected invitation to her grandfather’s funeral arrives. Reunited with her Spanish grandmother, she accepts her offer to stay at the country estate despite the past.

Plagued with night terrors since her last visit as a child, Connie hopes the past won’t repeat itself, but from the beginning she becomes the target of someone’s cruelty, and terrifying memories resurface.

Owing to her cruel grandfather’s death, she has a family again and a wonderful life is within her grasp if only she can stay ahead of the culprit who means to take it all away — or has the Covington Curse come upon her too?

A disappointing storyline with no gothic elements.

Unfortunately, the plot of this book is very weak. The author takes us from one scene to the next with very little passion or enthusiasm. While the story contains many gruesome scenes and descriptions, it cannot be confused for a gothic romance. There is no steady build up of suspense or air of mystery. The characters are flat and one dimensional. The plot feels contrived with many gaps in the narrative that leave the reader questioning the motivations of certain characters. Overall, it was a disappointing read and definitely not one of Ms Kincaide’s better efforts.

This was a slow-paced gothic book with some likable characters; also some very hateful ones! The Covington family was cursed with madness, & the unstable old man living upstairs in the large gothic manor was the worst example of it. Add to that, a bloated corpse on display in the sitting room, a cruel, sadistic, selfish little boy, a gorgeous horse caretaker, & a lovely young woman who stumbles into all of the madness and you have a twisted but interesting story. The romance was lacking in this book, & it was not as atmospheric as I had hoped it would be, which is what stopped it from being a 5-star read for me.

I read this book on Kindle.

I liked the book.

The stories by L C Kincaid are fast moving.
They are enjoyable to read. I’m not sure if there ever really was a curse, but the mental health of the men makes the Covington’s a family to stay away from.

THis authors creativity blows me away. Leaving hints along the way and suspense to keep you reading. Looking forward to reading them all.
