You’re next…

Carol and Nessaare strangers but not for much longer. In a luxury apartment and in the walls of a modern hospital, the evil that was done continues to thrive. They are in the hands of an entity that knows no boundaries and crosses dimensions – bending and twisting time itself – and where danger waits in every shadow. The battle is on for their bodies and souls and the line between reality and nightmare is hard to define. Through it all, the words of Lydia Warren Carmody haunt them. But who was she? And why have Carol and Nessa been chosen?

The answer lies deep in the darkness…

My Review

The Gothic genre sounds like it should be a perfect fit for me. But for some reason, the few books I’ve read from this genre have not been my favorite reads. Mexican Gothic was a hot mess, Rebecca was just ok and this is now my 3rd official Gothic read.

Have you seen What Lies Beneath with Michelle Pfeiffer? That movie was SO CREEPY, I LOVED it! In Darkness, Shadows Breathe had some similar moments of creepiness for me. Those were the best parts of the book and I really enjoyed them.

The important item to note about this story is that time is not linear. That will make more sense when you read the book. There are other parts of the story that make less sense and there are still a few questions that I didn’t get answered. If you need to have every question answered, every I dotted and every T crossed, you probably will struggle with this book a bit. If you can approach it with more flexibility and just appreciate the ambiance and the overall story, then this will be an enjoyable read.

I’m still struggling with finding the perfect 5 star Gothic read but this is a good solid 3 and very entertaining.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
