Bree Adams is tired. As an admin in a busy, prestigious New York law firm, she is in need of a vacation. A long escape to Peru seems like the perfect place to elude the hustle and bustle of the big city.
She shops and eats at some of the finest restaurants. She explores the historical basilica and the dank and morbid catacombs. She meets several locals and learns more about the city’s colorful history.
Bree returns to New York refreshed. But something has followed her home.
Something diabolical and ancient.
Something that will not stop tormenting her until she is dead.
Angela Darling is a novelist who lives in the Seattle area. Dubbed “The Queen of the Macabre,” her novels are richly infused with history, romance and dark gothic horror. Her biggest writing influences include Edgar Allan Poe, V.C. Andrews, Shirley Jackson and JRR Tolkien.
She has been writing for over 30 years, completing her first full-length novel, “War” when she was just 15 years old.
The story is good, the world building and character building was ok. The main thing I didn't like was the book jumped so it took a second to realize what was going on. Its a quick read and truly has the ability to be a great story, I think had it been longer and therefore had more ability to dive in a little it would've been better. But the bouncing around without any indication other than a space between paragraphs really bugged me. It just kept feeling like something was missing in each paragraph.
4.5 ⭐️ Really enjoyed this! Creepy, nerve-wracking, and a page turner!! Some very creepy parts to this, loved it! The ending fell a little short, but the rest was so good!
A great horror story that will send prickles down your spine. The "Queen of Macabre" does it again creating a harrowing, page-turning story with another unpredictable ending. A perfect read for the Halloween season. Highly recommend!
This is an outstanding read. Please follow the work of Angela Darling, you will find an author who can tell a story and reach a large audience with the elements of strong characterization, vivid settings and the dynamics to hold your attention until the end.
