sarahscupofcoffee 's review for:
The Haunting of Ashburn House
by Darcy Coates
Started off super strong. It reminded me of a Paranormal Activity movie at first with the build up, the history, and then the small things happening around this large house... it was beautifully done. The house itself is gorgeous and well described.
I didn't like the plot twist. At all. Some parts were predictable and I really didn't like how it ended. I'll describe in more detail below the spoiler tag.
I really did enjoy the last chapter, though.
Overall... I probably wouldn't recommend this book. It wasn't terrible, but I didn't like it much. I wanted a haunting and this... wasn't really it.

Okay. A an evil twin zombie witch? Really? I rolled my eyes so hard that my fiance noticed and asked what was wrong. That's when this book really lost me. I saw it coming since I knew that Edith wasn't the zombie witch in the woods. I was hoping that Coates wouldn't go with the evil twin thing, but here we are.I really did enjoy the last chapter, though.

When our main character (I literally forgot her name five minutes after finishing the book) sits down with ghost Edith in the mirror to read a novel with her, it warmed my heart. That was sweet.Overall... I probably wouldn't recommend this book. It wasn't terrible, but I didn't like it much. I wanted a haunting and this... wasn't really it.
