5 posts | 3 read | 13 to read
A darkly chilling supernatural horror novel. With no known identity or family, Ruby is the most violently disturbed patient ever admitted to Drummersgate Asylum, high on the bleak moors of northern England. After two years with no improvement, Dr Jack McGowan eventually decides to hypnotise her. With terrifying consequences. A horrific dark force is now unleashed on the entire medical team, as each in turn attempts to unlock Ruby's shocking and sinister past. Who is this girl? And how did she manage to survive such unimaginable evil? Set in a desolate mining village, where secrets are tightly kept and intruders hounded out, their questions soon lead to a haunted mill, the heart of darkness...and the Father of Lies. Sleep tight.

Originality: 2/5. This is straight up a classic demonic possession story. And that‘s not a bad thing—we like archetypes for a reason—but she didn‘t really compensate for the tried-and-true story type with really interesting or really unsettling elements, she just stuck to the tried-and-true, which made it a bit lackluster.

Well-written, creepy, & suspenseful. This is good supernatural/occult horror! I couldn't put this down & I'm already itching to pick up the second book & start reading. I can see how it was probably inspired by The Exorcist - very similar themes & plot points elaborated from the classic. Accurate depiction of mental illness, especially DID. Some very sad & heartbreaking scenes in this book.

⚠️ Trigger warning for intense child abuse.

This is the first of a trilogy, and all three books are amazing!!!! They're very dark and just graphic enough to get your blood pumping, but not so much that you want to stop reading them. The other two books are called Tanners Dell and Magda, and the last one literally gave me nightmares! Perfect read for a dark and stormy night!
