Thank you to the author and Wicked House Publishing for providing a review copy.
Ashes of August Manor proves once again why Blaine Daigle is one of my go-to authors. This is exquisite grief horror, wrapped up in a gothic bow. The pace is slow, but never boring. Things are revealed precisely on time, though. The atmosphere is top-notch, with the house and the grounds almost becoming characters themselves. The mystery at the heart of the novel had me trying to puzzle the story out the whole time. 4.5 stars
