BLURB:
It’s Halloween, and Lee is wrapping up a TV special at Underhill, a haunted house on Bodmin Moor. There’s only one problem – despite its terrible past, this house doesn’t seem to be haunted at all. Not great for the fans of Spirits of Cornwall, but all Lee wants to do is get home to Gideon and Tamsyn in time for their family party. Gid and Zeke are due to pick him up at any minute, so Lee sends his film crew home to enjoy their own Halloween plans .
The moment he’s alone, everything changes. When Gideon and Zeke arrive, they find the house deserted and dark. Zeke thinks Lee must have left with the film crew, but Gid’s instincts tell him otherwise.
The policeman and the preacher must set aside their differences and pool their gifts to pick up Lee’s trail. Will they be in time to save him from the ghosts and strange forces at work in Underhill House?
REVIEW:
I went into this book with equal parts hopefulness and trepidation. I love this series, but the previous book didn’t work for me, so I was a bit anxious to see what this book was like. While it wasn’t the best in the series, it was a good and a bit creepy read and a nice addition to the adventures of Thyack and Frayne.
Lee is wrapping up a recording in a (not so) haunted house, sending everyone home for the night, He wants to get home to his husband and daughter before the guests arrives for the festivities. Only problem is, the previously empty house is not so empty anymore, and a lot more sinister not wanting to let Lee go…
I love the fact that the atmosphere that is such an integral part of this series was back. Bodmin Moor is yet again haunted by this creepy and crawly feeling, just as it should be. It’s just not Bodmin Moor without it, and especially not around Halloween. Most of the story is focused on Lee and the events in the house, but we do get a few moments with Gideon and Zeke. I love how far and close(ish) they’ve come. Once being more like strangers than the brothers they are, now we see them as family, working together to save Lee.
All in all I was happy to be back in Bodmin Moor to visit with our old and beloved friends. And going by that ending I have a feeling we might be back for another visit or two before long, and I for one can’t wait.
