The Carrow Haunt eBook Darcy Coates

As with Darcy's other books, she never disappoints. Darcy is one of the few authors I will buy unconditionally - meaning, yep she has a new book out I'm going to buy it and I don't even know what it's going to be about.

As I finished this book, it was late into the evening. Probably not a good thing - because as my house settled, I will admit to some heart palpitations as I was reading. Darcy always manages to include things of my worst nightmare as a child - unseen things grabbing me. And the ending totally caught me off guard. I did think I had it figured out. Wrong.

I always know her books are going to be scary, but I'm so impressed with all of the different stories she comes up with. What I also like and appreciate is Darcy's stories are stand-alone. No waiting for the next book to come out to further the story along.

I highly recommend this book and any of the author's books. She never let's us (her readers) down.

The Carrow Haunt eBook Darcy Coates Reviews

If you love a good haunted house, seances and intrigue than The Carrow Haunt will keep you reading through the night. This is definitely one of Darcy Coates best books and will keep you guessing all the way to the end.
I really enjoyed the storyline here. I’ve read many horror stories and never really felt fear. While I won’t say this one scared me terribly, it did a better job than most!
What I did not like was the progression. I found myself putting the book down to do something else and forgetting about it. It may have been a little slow or perhaps too descriptive, but I wish that it had held my attention too and begged me to come back to read each time I set it down.
Overall, it was a good book that I would recommend.
Not quite sure how I feel about this book. It wasn't bad but it's definitely not my favorite. Wasn't a good book to read after reading The Haunting of Ashburn House. This book was rather mild in comparison. Not as spooky as I was hoping. But as with all of these books, I loved the ending!
I loved the book and why only 3 stars?? It took a little while for the story to pick up speed. I almost gave up, but I had to keep reading because I purchased almost every book Darcy Coates has out!!! I'm very happy I kept reading!!! And now, it's on to the next one!!! I'm guessing the stars are going to get better because I know this book got pretty scary and not many reads do that to me!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DARCY COATES BOOKS!!!! And what an ending!!! She really did a phenomenal job with the characters and their quirks, personalities, interaction between the characters and how each person and ghost made this story come to life. Happy reading peeps!!!
This is horror writing at its finest, with vivid, well-articulated detail, fully fleshed out characters we can cheer for or fear, and a slowly increasing sense of dread that jumps out at you the ending. The author masterfully crafts a tale that builds tension as it reveals tiny little bits of the house and its inhabitants making for a story you won't want to quit reading. Blending horror with supernational elements, serial killers, and an understory that is pure old-fashioned detective work is absolutely brilliant and not many authors could pull it off so well.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, which is about a group of people who camp out in a reputedly haunted house in order to investigate its many ghosts. While I was reading the first half or so I was enjoying the build-up of the story and the development of the characters so much that I didn't want the book to ever end. Then things started getting dicey and left you wondering who was doing all of the "bad things" (I'm being vague to to avoid spoilers). That part left my nerves a little on edge and at that point I just wanted to rush through and finish the book as quickly as possible. So the conclusion came as a great relief, but that's all I'll say about that.
THE CARROW HAUNT is the latest novel from author Darcy Coates. This novel had so much in terms of genre-overlap! We have horror in many forms supernatural, psychological, a long-dead serial killer, gruesome deaths, ghosts, gore, and bodies. Also present is a strong thriller/detective element that had me second guessing just about every idea that I attempted to predict.

"Welcome, dear ones, to the dreaded Carrow House."

Remy Allier gives guided tours through the area's "most haunted house" once a week, when the weather permits. Located in an island-like area, with only one bridge spanning Carrow's land to the "mainland", the isolation of the location is as absolute as it can get. As a tour guide, Remy knows all aspects of Carrow's long and sullied history. Built by John and Marie Carrow as a sanitarium initially, a tragic fire led to it being renovated into a Grand Hotel.

Their biggest mistake was in the hiring of a certain gardener, by the name of Edgar Porter.

" . . . in small towns like the ones nearest Carrow House, there was a pervasive subconscious assumption that the rich and influential couldn't be criminals . . . "

Even after the initial saga was over, the estate carried with it an unmistakable taint. The series of deaths and disappearances continued on, unabated, until it was eventually left untenanted. A spoiled rich teenager, April Mahon, had the former hotel purchased for herself. She took great pains in having the original furnishings restored to how it was in its murderous heyday.

". . . There's a recurring theme of tragedy befalling anyone who lives in the building . . . aside for brief research-related stays, no human has attempted to live in it since."

After one tour, Remy is approached by a rich businessman, Mark Sulligent, with a proposition to rent Carrow House for a two week period. He plans on studying the psychic phenomena through various means; a medium, a modern-day ghost hunter, and a few select individuals with an interest in Carrow.

". . . Two weeks in the state's most haunted house. This is either going to be a great decision or the worst experience of my life."

One of Darcy Coates' greatest strengths in this novel is in her choice of characters. Each and every one of them carries a unique personality--some quite at odds with others--and I found every individual to be both mentally captivating and original. I never caught myself attempting to figure out "who was who" for they were all completely fleshed out as the novel progressed.

". . . It took a certain kind of person to appreciate a malevolent supernatural entity."

Whether you like or dislike their personalities, each character remains "true" to themselves and behaves exactly as the author has led us to believe they will. We have some very mysterious individuals, as well as those that go through no deception in showing just who they are and what they think of the others.

". . . It was the truth, but delivered with the subtlety of a sledgehammer . . . "

When things start to get heated, Coates leaves us with a genuine feeling for each of the house's "guests", and I couldn't help but speculate on what other motives these individuals may have been harboring that led them to this place.

". . . Carrow is supposed to have unusually high energy levels. It's part of the reason its spirit activity is so elevated."

As for the atmosphere in this book, words alone can't even begin to do it justice! The first third or so of this novel sets the background, characters, and present situation to absolute perfection. I felt completely immersed in the shadows at Carrow as if I were a "silent observer", actually IN the gothic mansion, myself. After that point, the action ramps up exponentially, and the oppressive, disquieting feeling becomes nearly overwhelming at times. This is where it became impossible to distance myself, mentally, and I began to carry the book everywhere I went.

" . . . .people can be afraid of things. Horribly, permanently afraid . . . the fear takes root in their lives and twists them and controls them . . ."

Carrow House, itself, is as much a character as any other here. Its unique location, connection to so many horrific and gruesome deaths all throughout its history, and ability to seemingly hold so many spirits and dark secrets within its walls, make it one of the most formidable forces there.

". . . now that it has guests, it's waking up."

Overall, a supernatural horror novel that captured my attention from the very beginning, tightening it's hold over me the further my reading progressed. There was truly so much that I found "new " going on in this story, that I never once was able to guess at an accurate conclusion. Coates managed to keep throwing new twists into the mix, just at the points when I thought I might possibly manage a "guess". This tactic combined with the omnipresent foreboding atmosphere, made for a novel that I never wanted to put down.

Highly recommended!
As with Darcy's other books, she never disappoints. Darcy is one of the few authors I will buy unconditionally - meaning, yep she has a new book out I'm going to buy it and I don't even know what it's going to be about.

As I finished this book, it was late into the evening. Probably not a good thing - because as my house settled, I will admit to some heart palpitations as I was reading. Darcy always manages to include things of my worst nightmare as a child - unseen things grabbing me. And the ending totally caught me off guard. I did think I had it figured out. Wrong.

I always know her books are going to be scary, but I'm so impressed with all of the different stories she comes up with. What I also like and appreciate is Darcy's stories are stand-alone. No waiting for the next book to come out to further the story along.
