About this book

The frigid autumn of 1935 brings Temperance Grieve to a sprawling Victorian estate, a sudden inheritance left by an aunt who vanished decades ago. While the grand architecture promises a fresh start, the house is far from empty. As Temperance sifts through decaying diaries and haunting photographs, she realizes the walls hold more than just dust; they harbor the restless echoes of a dark, forgotten history.

Assisted by Humphrey Cavendish, a local historian with a keen eye for the past, Temperance begins to peel back layers of tragedy involving a devastating flood and a string of mysterious disappearances. Their investigation quickly spirals into a supernatural nightmare, forcing the pair to confront an ancient, malevolent force that refuses to stay buried. As the line between the living and the dead blurs, they find themselves trapped in a desperate race to uncover the truth before the house claims them as its next victims.

Blending atmospheric historical detail with a chilling supernatural mystery, this tale offers the perfect slow-burn romance for those who love a gothic aesthetic. If you are looking for a paranormal read that balances white-knuckle terror with a growing, tender connection between two unlikely allies, this haunting journey is your next obsession.

The Haunting kept me edge on the edge of my seat, biting my fingernails, AND wanting to hide my head under a blanket! It is SO GOOD and I was dreadfully disappointed when I reached the last sentence. You know that feeling of, \"Oh My Golly Gosh this is amazing and I never guessed any of the twists and turns that Ms Harris hit me with, and I'm so, SO HAPPY with the ending, but at the same time I wasn't ready for it to end, and now What do I do with the rest of my life?\" ... and breathe....
