MY REVIEW

The Haunting of Hope House by Astrid Addams is her debut novel and I am impressed. It reminds me of The Shining, except we have an additional threat, the money that her dead husband owed to the thugs.

Alice inherited the house and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Her daughter, Madison, had an ability to sense the pain of some people and some places, and Hope House was oozing misery. It had a sordid past, and most people would have run away screaming as soon as they saw it.

Alice felt it was all good, even though the house looked like it hadn’t been lived in for a long time. It looked like it would fall down if you breathed on it. Half the house was closed off, locked up tight. Was it to keep something in or something out?

The first night…a rough one. And it’s all downhill from there.

It is a good thing she has family like Madison, with her special skills, a son like Ralf, and a brother like Gary. They have some rough patches, but they stick by her through thick and thin.

And…the welcoming committee…Agatha, who, well…

I think Astrid did a great job with this novella. She has given us a lot of creepy action and some cool mystery. I didn’t put it together and I love that she was able to string me along. The Haunting of Hope House has all the ghostly and haunting things that come with a haunted house, bad smells, sounds in the night, and so much more. I will be looking for more from this author, because I think she will only get better with time.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Haunting of Hope House by Astrid Addams.

GOODREADS BLURB

Hope House has a past so gruesome and evil, that few people dare to set foot on the property. Until out of the blue, Alice inherits Hope House. With nowhere else to go, money lenders and her own horrific past at her heels. She decides that Hope House will make a good family home. Ignoring the houses past, Alice brings her two kids and her sceptical brother to the house for the weekend. Soon after their arrival, the evil within the house is released.

Nasty smells, bad energy and ghostly figures haunt the corridors of Hope House. Furniture moves all by itself and something foul lives in the garden and behind the wall that partitions the house in two. Something that drives Alice to her brothers throat and haunts the kids.

The family soon become trapped at the house with no way out as both the evil within and the money lender descend. Can Alice and her family outsmart the money lender whose driven them to the derelict house? Is the strange old woman who knocks on their door right about Alice’s daughter Madison’s gift? Can they use it to fight the evil within the house that’s still hungry? Or will they become the latest ghosts to haunt Hope House?

The Haunting of Hope House is the debut supernatural ghost story from Astrid Addams. If you like Darcy Coats, James Hunt and Michelle Dorey you’ll love The Haunting of Hope House.
