Thank you NetGalley and Allison & Busby for the eARC.
Jim Hawkes lost his fiancee 2 years ago and hasn't gotten over it. Plagued by terrible nightmares he leaves his job in London to recuperate in a cottage in a small village, planning to rest and get his equilibrium back. Unfortunately, things don't go to plan. There are strange noises in his attic, he sees a little girl who was killed and has a strange voice in his head saying some frightening things. He wonders if he's going mad. He makes 2 friends, Jed and Emma, who believe he was meant to be there for a reason; they also think he's psychic.
I'm in 2 minds about this book: on the one hand I liked the story, on the other I found his constant thought processes a bit tiresome, it became boring.
The ending was quite tense and I did like his romance with the daughter of the local pub's owner. I am curious whether the next book will continue with Jim's story and therefore would definitely read it.
