I found this story to be dark and engrossing. I loved every moment I spent in this story. The writing flowed smoothly and kept me immersed in the magic.

Fifteen year old Forest is on the run from her soon-to-be stepfather, Nesmith, when she finds him doing something he should not be doing. Forest has a plan to make it to her grandmother's house miles away. While eluding Nesmith and his sister, she finds a gentleman wandering the forest lost and confused. Elijah becomes a close friend and someone she can rely on to help her make it to her grandmother's house. When she finally makes it to her grandmother’s home, Nesmith arrives and the final battle begins.

So much happens in this simple story. It is written in such a bleak and dark way, but it pulls you in to teach you how a young girl can delve deep into her heart and mind and find a strength she never knew she had.

I would consider this to be a very mild horror story. I think it falls under psychological haunting. I don’t mean haunting as in ghosts necessarily. I mean it cuts deep inside your soul and grips your heart. For a deep and dark story, I recommend reading this one.

Thank you #NetGalley and Cemetery Dance Publications for sending me this ebook for an honest review.

I'm not surprised that this book is incredible. Every book I've read by this author has been exceptional. So is Holy Ghost Road. Its scary. Its full of suspense. Its mysterious. Its impossible to put down once you've started it and its one of the best Supernatural stories of the year. Horror fans will love this book!

5+ stars

This is literally one of the most well written novels I have ever read. Stunning in every aspect. It has easily taken a spot on my top 5 of all time. I dont want to give any spoilers so all I’ll say this is so much more than a horror novel. it is a must read.

I really enjoy the way John Mantooth writes a horror novel, it was so well done and I loved the the house was possessed by different things. The characters were really interesting and I could feel the tense atmosphere that I look for in this genre.

"The love wins because her face melts a little. “We were just gonna borrow the rocking chair, wasn’t we, Edie? Well, if they’re going to act like this, we’ll just leave.” She turns and glares right at me. “You would end up with somebody like that.” She continues to glare at me as if waiting on a response, but I’ve never been one of those people who can let a comeback out."
