The book was a swift read, lacking extensive character or setting development, yet it provided some entertainment. This was my first experience with the author’s work, and despite not being an impressive introduction, it has piqued my interest to explore more of their writings. The pace was so brisk that I scarcely had time to form an opinion about the characters, living or dead. The prose was competent; however, I anticipated more suspense and events within the house.

Wyatt Harper resides in a house constructed by his father. Tragically, at the age of 20, Wyatt lost his parents in an accident. Marrying a local woman, he devoted his love to her, aspiring for a lengthy life together. His ominous final words pledged an eternal presence in the home. Years later, Blake, a 22-year-old embalmer, acquires the house, oblivious to its prolonged vacancy’s cause. Uncovering its past compels her to contemplate fleeing.

Although the narrative is somewhat terse, it manages to deliver a modest thrill and kindles curiosity for similar tales. It’s a satisfactory haunted house story, fitting for a late-night read.

My rating: 🌟🌟🌟
