Awake In The Night: A Horror Novel

April 24, 2024

Moving home can be stressful, but moving into your dream home should remove some of the burden, or so you would think. Jessica and Nicole seem to be handling it all very well, thanks in large part to their helpful neighbor, Susan, but it doesn't stay that way for long. Set in Ireland, Awake in the Night features a fabulous set of characters, some of whom are in present day, while other are echoes from the past looking to intrude into the modern world. This is a haunted house story with a heart...

Someone recommended this book when I asked about a book similar to Stolen Tongues. This was definitely not what I would consider similar, but still a good read. The book definitely gives off Season 1 American Horror Story vibes in the sense of the theme is very similar. I enjoyed the backstory and build up of the book. ) One person found this helpful

I wasn’t sure what to expect when picking up this book, but once I did I couldn’t get enough of it. It was enticing and fast paced all the way through. I’ve been exploring more of the horror genre and always been drawn to good old fashioned haunted house stories. This book does the job with creepy rocking chairs, blood, gore, and what it means to live with grief. Definitely recommend this if you’re a busy person and need something fast and fun to read. ) One person found this helpful

This book was so full of sorrow. The 1955 timeline explore a dark and gruesome chapter in Ireland's history, and what made it especially harrowing was how closely events mirrored reality for so many vulnerable women and children of that time. I also did not expect the twist in the second half of the novel, and thought it was very well executed. As the novel drew to a close, it gave so many chances for the characters to heal. In the end, it was so comforting to see all of these women finding...
