Book of Shadows #2
The Suicide Lake
Deep in the mountains, the deadliest demons are her own.
Abigail Jacobs has spent years hiding the truth: she’s an occultist who hunts the dead. By day she plays the part of a respectable schoolteacher in 1812 Boston. By night she drinks too much, swears too often, and does whatever it takes to silence the spirits that haunt her past.
She keeps her double life buried—until her estranged sister appears on her doorstep begging for help.
Something terrible is stirring in a remote logging camp deep in the mountains. Men are dying. And something in the forest is driving them to it.
The deeper she ventures into the mountains, the more Abigail realizes this isn’t just another haunting. An ancient malevolence is spreading through the camp like a sickness, twisting minds into madness. To stop it, she must join forces with a hardened lumberjack, a former lover whose return reopens old wounds, and a young pastor wrestling with faith—and fear.
But the superstitious villagers don’t trust her methods. And if she doesn't work quickly, she may be hanged by the very people she is trying to save.
Eerie, atmospheric, and brimming with supernatural tension, The Suicide Lake delivers a gripping tale of frontier horror, dark magic, and a flawed heroine fighting demons… both supernatural and her own.

Awesome Sequel!
Backstory:
Abigail Jacobs heads out to a lumber mill camp in the Adirondack Mountains after her sister shows up at Abigail's house needing help as her sisters husband, Duncan had sent word that there are suicides happening at the lumber mill and no one knows the reason why. So Abigail heads to the camp as something doesn't seem right and it could very well be some type of haunting.
Duncan decides to sneak Abigail in under the guise of being a school teacher for the children of the camp as it will be easier for Abigail to do her investigations without anyone interfering and he doesn't want anyone to know that Abigail is a witch as that might not settle well with the families that live at the camp.
While Abigail is there someone else commits suicide and Abigail has to figure out what is making the people in the camp perform these heinous acts upon themselves as all the suicides are mostly gruesome in nature. Abigail is going to have to resort to her witch ways to investigate the suicides and the only way to find out what is going on is to commune with the dead.
But the more she investigates the more she realizes that she might be in over her head as it might not be ghosts causing the suicides but something more ancient and evil which she will have to figure out how to stop it without anyone else dying!
Thoughts:
This book takes place years later after the first book "All Hallows Eve" and this time the character, Abigail is all grown up and has become a witch ghost hunter even going so far as to raising the dead to get the answers she seeks. This story just flowed along and as much as I loved the first book I do believe this second book was even better!
The setting of the book is set back in the 1800's and the characters within this story became attachable - a few I loved and a couple or so I wanted something to happen to them as they made life miserable for Abigail.
The writing style just flows along at a swift pace and I found myself being slowly drawn into the story making me want to stay there in that timeline to see how the character, Abigail was going to vanquish the evil that had enveloped the lumber mill camp. I will be curious to see what Abigail is up against in her next adventure against evil and looking forward to future books by this author. Giving this one five Witchy Wicked stars!

Still really enjoying this series! I love the setting and the creepiness of this one. I did like book 1 better, but I still happily gobbled up this one, and I'll be checking out the next in the series for sure! :)

4.25/5
The Suicide Lake by Michael Penning is book 2 of the Book of Shadows series and what an installment it was. This story is really heavy on religion which I didn't love, and it had more lulls compared to All Hallows Eve, but it was still gory and heart-poundingly amazing. I would say this is somewhere from medium to fast-paced, and there is basically always something happening. I was into it from the very beginning, although I did start reading the religious parts a little faster once I got toward the end of the book. I thought the mystery aspect of the novel was fantastic, and it really kept me guessing. I had no idea it was going to end up going the way it did, and the last quarter had me speeding through to find out what was going to happen.
One thing about this series is that there are a lot of deaths, so I wouldn't get too attached to anyone! I actually looked at the synopsis of the third book again while I was reading this one because I was so worried about what was going on. No spoilers but I do think it is smart to go into these as blind as possible, so nothing gets ruined for you. It is a better way to experience these witchy and terrifying reads, and you just need to be aware they are super violent so not for the squeamish reader. I can't even eat while I read them, and The Suicide Lake was no different since Penning doesn't skimp on the details. And of course, they are all about witchcraft so that better be something you are into if you decide you want to pick this up. I think they can be read fine as standalones but I would encourage starting with All Hallows Eve just so you know Abigail's backstory.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

After barely recovering from the first novel, I was excited to see the next book was released. However that excitement quickly turned to dread as I remember how All Hallows Eve made me feel... Against my better judgement, I started to read. What a mistake! This novel possessed me, chewed me up and spit me out. Toying with my emotions like this isn't right. There are some truly horrific scenes that I still can't shake. Once my blood pressure came back to normal I would just get sucked back in to another terrifying chapter. Not to mention all the twists and turns thrown in, this book is a fantastic read that will keep you on your toes until the very last page. I just don't want to go near a lake for a while...

After reading 'All Hallows Eve', the first book in the 'Book of Shadows series', I thought there is no way that Michael Penning will top that. I was soooo damn wrong.
Michael was awesome enough to send me a copy of the second book in the series for review.
With 'Suicide Lake', not only Michael perfects the story left in book one, but also takes it to a whole new level. A new level of fast paced action, brilliant storytelling, fantastic plot twisting and great character development.
This story follows Abigail Jacobs (the daughter of Alice from Book 1) a ghost hunting witch who lives a double life as a shool teacher in an attempt to hide her dark, tragic past.
But soon her past catches up as, like her mother, Abigail has to form alliances in order to fight an unspeakable evil that torments the residents of a remote village, driving them to kill themselves.
'Suicide Lake', is a beautifully written story, that once again, had it all and many many more. Horror, suspense, witches and lore, action, supernatural elements, wonderfully penned characters and tailored up to a spine chilling roller-coaster of adventure.
What keeps me in awe, is the way Michael Penning manages to keep you awake at night, not only because of the lovely horror elements, but because each chapter propels you to read at least two more.
Grab the 'Book of Shadows' series at the very first chance you get. (perfect for your Xmas gifts list). Thank God there is a 3rd book coming out soon, as I cannot get enough of Penning's fantastic stories.
This one goes straight to the top 5 for 2020.

Wow it’s an amazing suspenseful story!!
November 30, 2022
Excellent horror read!!

This second book in Penning's Book of Shadows series features Abigail Jacobs, whose mother was the MC of the first book. Abigail has inherited her mother's courage and resolve, and from her father's family line she has inherited the title of witch, or, as she prefers, necromancer.
.
Abigail is a schoolteacher by day, ghost vanquisher by night, and soon she is called upon to face her greatest adversary yet. In a remote logging village in the Adirondacks, a mysterious dark force is causing people to kill themselves in bizarre and horrific ways. Abigail must discover the truth of the evil and find a way to vanquish it before its influence spreads beyond the village, all while dealing with an ex-lover, a handsome lumberjack, and a small group of zealots who have decided that SHE is the evil that needs killing.
.
The setting is beautifully written, isolated and eerie. The desperation, fear, and mistrust of the villagers seeps off the page. And Abigail...she is one seriously strong female lead. A bit hardened, a bit jaded, but determined and kind hearted all the same.
.
There are some intense scenes in this book (hanging precariously off a cliff face, for one) that made by heart pound as I turned pages as fast as I could. But the thing which really struck me about halfway through the book was that although this story has plenty of horror elements: ghosts, spirits, violence, blood, fear, it reads so eloquently like good literature that it doesn't feel like much of today's horror. It's old fashioned horror, and that's my favorite kind.

*Disclaimer – I received free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
The Suicide Lake, a fitting sequel to All Hallows Eve, brings us to the adult life of Abigail – the wanted child in the first book. Abigail is now a kick ass witch battling demons, spirits and all manner of paranormal and supernatural challenges. She takes no shit from no man, and will bed who she likes, decorum be damned. But she is also a teacher to young children, a staunch believer in helping whoever she can, and longs for a companion that won’t get hurt just by being near her. As a protagonist she is invigorating and engrossing, and a woman I am happy to follow.
Set in a mountainside logging town, isolated and superstitious, there are echoes of the first book here too, though The Suicide Lake brings in native American myths and folklore, as well as Catholic superstitions from the immigrant Irish and Scottish inhabitants of the town. Offering a bleak and claustrophobic atmosphere, Volume II of Book of Shadows, gives a stark look at the desperation that comes with being separated from larger society and the lengths that people will go to when faced with frightening occurrences that they cannot understand.
The Suicide Lake is a riveting read showcasing again Penning storytelling skills. He manages to stay true to the times the story is set in, and still give us a modern woman with her own ideas and goals to fall in with. Filled with secrets, mysteries, and ulterior motives, this is a novel you won’t want to put down.

A Haunting Journey into the Unknown
The Suicide Lake is a chilling tale that expertly blends supernatural elements with a gripping mystery. From the beginning, you are immersed in a desolate, eerie atmosphere, setting the stage for a haunting exploration of the unknown. The supernatural aren't the only ones to be afraid of in this town.
The supernatural elements in Suicide Lake are both terrifying and fascinating. Penning's descriptions are vivid and really bring the story to life in a way that is both chilling and unforgettable. The underlying mystery is expertly woven into the narrative and kept me interested and guessing until the very end.
Oh, and the dog doesn't die 😊

I didn’t like this one like I did the first book. This second book introduces us to Abigail, who is basically a historical manic pixie witch girl, and the character was definitely created by a male gaze. The sex scene was unnecessary to the story, absurdly timed, and totally 😬. The story itself had great pacing and the writing itself is strong, it’s just a different kind of story than the first book, which is disappointing. I’ll read the third just because I liked the first one so much. But hopefully it’s not like when a band makes one good album and then multiple not so great albums that make you question if the first one was even good 🤷♀️🙏🏼

Suicide Lake the second book in the Book of Shadows series after All Hallows Eve will not disappoint.
Great characters and a well crafted & descriptive story transport us back in time to the Mountains of
Upper New York State where terrifying paranormal horrors await. Abigail must use all her strength and powers to defeat the even spirits she finds there. May have taken me a little longer to read than expected, only because I couldn't read it at night. You may have nightmares and want to keep the lights on...but.. What A Read! Can't wait for Book #3

Book two in the Book of Shadows series and Abigail is all grown up and is very much her own woman. When her sister arrives begging for her help she is off to a lumber camp which is having what seems to be extreme paranormal problems. This is such a good series , written well with wonderful characters and well described situations. Once immersed in the story it is very difficult to extract oneself until you are done. Wonderful story telling. Never was I disappointed, not once. Once again, the ending has you excited for what comes next.

My friend wrote this book and thus this review is full of bias- sorry. There’s suspense and suspicion at every turn as Penning unfolds a scorcher of a tale. While certainly there are some evident tropes, Abagail is a heroine worth a thousand men, and I appreciate Penning not taking anything away from her. He is also generous with the “creepy”! There are moments where you’re saying he wouldn’t, as scenes develop you say “he can’t!?!”- but then, as you feel the horror, he does! And Penning does it very nicely.
October 10, 2020
Wow! Halloween is the perfect time of the year for this scary 2nd book to come out. If you are into horror/thriller books then this one is for you! I found it to be fast paced and once again, Michael did not disappoint as he had me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, as he took Abigail Jacobs, on a dangerous quest looking for answers. I thoroughly enjoyed it from the beginning to the end and I am anxiously awaiting to read the 3rd volume of the Shadow Series.
October 28, 2020
Penning's first book completely blew me away. It was well written and kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. Character descriptions are so good that you can really feel that you're there in the scene which is amazing considering it's set in the 19th century. This second book is even better! Penning is off to a great start and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us next. This one is a must read this fall. 5 stars!
October 28, 2020
Scared the living daylights out of me! The suspense is palpable. Michael’s central theme flows throughout, and events unfold quickly. Hard to put it down but you must, otherwise, you’ll be up all night! Once again, his characters come to life and you can’t help but feel empathy, even for Heath. But you know what’s the best part... the end! Demons beware! Congrats, Author Penning, another good read!

Amazing!
I can't express how much I love this book. I read All Hallows Eve and was just drawn into the story and characters but Suicide Lake took it to a whole new level. Mr. Penning does an incredible job balancing descriptive text and dialogue. I felt like I was there watching the story unfold. The build up of stressful situations in the story was so well done I sometimes found myself white knuckling my kindle. LOL Well done, sir!!!

Hold on tight!
What an excellent book! I enjoyed getting to know Abby as an adult. Her foray into witchcraft brings her to a very interesting place where suicides keep happening. Her sister had asked her to look into it and so she travels to the middle of the Adirondacks to try to figure out what is going on. Loved the lore, the fanatics and the characters. Looking forward to the next book. Highly recommend

All Hallow's Eve
Was absolutely riveting, I read it in one setting. I was so anxious to start The Suicide Lake, unfortunately it was a disappointing beginning. For the first third of the book I was inventing chores so I could put the book down. Thankfully, the story line and action picked up and the story had a strong ending. If the reader can stuck with the story it is a good read.

This is a heavy hitting story.. exponentially more exciting that the first which was WONDERFUL. I love Abigail. An amazingng heroin, strong and independent. Her ferocity and methods are intense and not for the weak of heart! I read this in one sitting! Like a freight train, this story just didn't stop- no lull!

On to book 3!
Once again, I love the stories these author weaves. The characters all have character, and you can identify with each of them; whether they're good or not. Wasn't sure about an added demon to the story, but it worked out just right. Worth the read! Will continue with this series.

A thrilling horror story with a strong female lead. Atmospheric and spooky with unexpected twists and dark secrets. The kind of book that makes you want to close all closet doors and sleep with the lights on. I cannot wait for the third book!
October 21, 2020
A spooky tale with lots of thrilling plot twists. The story kept me on the edge of my seat with each turn of the page. The scares pick up where the first book left off and don’t let you breathe until the end. You will never feel the same about taking a walk in the woods again.

October 29, 2020I opened this book and read it in one sitting. Poor Abigail must beware of both humans and demons! . Danger comes in many shapes, and when you think everything is ok...
The story felt so... real! Abigail makes me want to be a stronger, braver woman.

Even better than his first! This book scared me at all the right times and left me wondering what she'll get into next. Scary, thrilling, nail biting - and not able to put it down. I highly recommend reading this - and what better time then Halloween!

Disturbing and exhilarating story of evil.
The depths of evil, and how easily it preys on the innocence of people, is the nightmare of this story. Well written and suspenseful, this book will keep the reader glued to the pages till the end.
