Nell Galilee, her husband and twelve year old step-daughter Maude rent a holiday cottage by the sea, needing time and space away from home. Nell grew up in this small, wind-blown town and has mixed feelings about returning, and it isn't long before she is recognised by a neighbour, seemingly desperate to befriend her. The cottage has been empty for some time, and from the start Nell feels uncomfortable there. Something isn't quite right about this place . .
This was my first Amanda Mason book and I certainly won't be the last.
Although this book isn't exactly what I was expecting, it's a great steady paced and effortless read.
The book is a great chilling ghost story filled with witches, curses and superstition. Slowly through the eyes of the characters you piece together all the history of Elder House.
I definitely warmed to the characters and enjoyed the eeriness of their situation.
How all their stories finally entwined at the end was well thought out.
I'd recommend this book to any one 13+. Well described, beautiful written and a great edition to any family library.
