The story introduces us to to an adult Lewis in the present day where he is sent, against his wishes, on a work trip to an abandoned All Hallows to carry out a recce on behalf of a client. It is still a forbidding place with bad vibes and he is convinced of a ghostly presence. His fear of the place still hasn’t subsided and he can’t wait to get out of there.If you like stories set around old asylums, with more than a touch of the supernatural then this is one for you. Flitting between two timeli...
Wow, oh wow! I LOVED it!!I'm not usually a fun of stories with a kind of paranormal vibe, but I'm happily making an exception for this one.The story is narrated in a dual timeline 1903 and 1993 and the setting is a spooky building former asylum and now (1993 that is) boarding school. The pace is very fast, with short, snappy chapters that adds to the "I'll just read another one" factor, which, in my case, ended up to reading it in almost one sitting.The atmosphere is chilling and spooky, but the...
‘ Outstanding - A compelling, dark, heart-breaking, gripping read.’This book reminded me so much of one of my favourite books ‘Rebecca’ by Daphne Du Maurier. The Room in the Attic is a compelling, dark, heart-breaking, gripping read. I literally stayed up late into the night to finish it. The story alternates between two stories, one a nurse caring for a little girl when the house was an asylum in 1903 and two troubled boys in the same house in 1993 when the house was a boys’ boarding school. So...
3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is seriously one of the hardest reviews I’ve had to write. I don’t even know if I’m sure about giving it 3 stars. I just finished this book about 10 minutes ago and I’m just really annoyed. Not a feeling you want to have after finishing a book. Let me start by saying, this was a 4-5 star book all the way until about 85%. I’ve never been so disappointed in an ending like I was with this one. I am tempted to write this review with spoilers but I hate to tell endings so I’ll refrain f...
5☆ A Hauntingly Good Mystery The Room in the Attic is a book that is full of Intrigue and Mystery and once you start reading it's very hard to put down. Although for me it was a spooky read ( I'm one of those that can't watch horror as I'm too scared) I still couldn’t stop reading as I wanted to know what happened next! I'm not going to write about the plot as the blurb gives you just enough insight to draw you in perfectly. There are many threads to this haunting story, which makes it perfect...
This is my sixth book by Louise Douglas and it is obvious that I am a fan. I have enjoyed every single book but this one is by far my favourite of all. I love Louise Douglas ' writing style, she tells a story with feeling and sets up the setting perfectly, in two timelines no less. She also has an ability to write such interesting characters that her tales are both plot and character driven. I loved that this book is told in 1903 and 1993. In 1903 we read from Nurse Emma's point of view and in 1...
