Publisher Description
Second Edition
Their new home on Frederick Street in Clay Center, Kansas, was supposed to give writer Jonathan David and his husband, clinical psychologist Dr. Eddie Dorman, an opportunity to enjoy married life. Jonathan has just released his first major bestseller, and he hopes to finally escape his traumatic past and find the quiet existence he has always craved. Eddie has taken a job at the Kansas State University psychology department, and they intend to begin anew.
They have barely settled in when the nightmare begins. Noises, disembodied voices, and mysterious apparitions make Jonathan's life hell. Part of the house has decided to bare its teeth, show its jagged edges, and bring back the worst of Jonathan's past. At first, Eddie cannot perceive the spectral events and fears for his husband's sanity. When he's also affected by the haunting, he's unsure of what to do but refuses to be beaten.
Together, they seek a way to fight the forces trying to tear them apart. The world is a frightening place, but confronting their fears plunges Jonathan and Eddie into absolute horror.

Good story
This is the second book in this series and to my mind, much better than the first one, The Haunting of Timber Manor.
This story is written in the third person (my preference) and although there is a lot of narrative, there is also a fair amount of dialogue which is the perfect opportunity for the reader to be let in on the the conversations and interactions between the characters. This is particularly important if the author wants to convey the affection, care and love between the main characters. Speech is so important, I need to read those words that are spoken so that I can empathise and feel what the characters are feeling.
The writing felt up to date, and had a flow to it. I enjoyed the story of the haunting, not only of the house, but of those who were troubled.
3 stars.
