An evil entity haunts and terrorises four different families over generations of pain and suffering. In each generation they attempt to stop Him, but will they ever succeed?

I love a good horror and have been looking forward to it since I heard about it. It is a very different book then what I've heard before. Every chapter jumps forward a generation beginning at 1664 and ending in 2005.

A great fast paced horror. It throws you right in at the deep end from the start. I found is fascinating and amazing that Harriet managed to write each chapter in the different eras and make it seem so real and even the writing and dialogue corresponded to that particular way of speaking at that time. It was very clever and unique. At the beginning of every chapter Harriet made it clear what had happened as a result of the last chapter.

My only small issue was that because of the big jumps forward at every chapter I struggled to keep up at times and adjust to the new characters in each chapter. As soon as I got used to one character another appeared.

Trigger warnings: A LOT of death and gore!
