The Haunting of Blackwych Grange by Amy Cross

Book Description:

Some houses should be left alone and abandoned forever…

For many years now, Blackwych Grange has been left locked and abandoned. But when a paranormal researcher gains permission to enter the house and monitor for ghosts, a dark presence begins to stir.

Paula is thrilled when she’s invited to join the team. Soon, however, she starts to regret her choice.

Something lurks in the dark rooms of Blackwych Grange, something that seeks vengeance. Many years ago, a young woman named Elizabeth Marringham lived in the house with her vicious uncle. Today, more than a century and a half after Elizabeth’s death, does her vengeful spirit still roam the house’s corridors? And if so, what does she want?

My Thoughts:

The story starts off in present day with Paula and three colleagues about to embark on a visit to Blackwych Grange to try and prove once and for all, whether ghosts really do exist there. Then we are taken to the past to find out the history of the house before returning back to the present day. 

I really enjoyed the parts set in the past. Not that the owner of the house is a very nice person and I really felt for Elizabeth who was pretty much a prisoner there having come to live there after her parents died. Elizabeth really is a great character who is strong in her beliefs and is one who likes to break the rules, to her uncles distaste.  In a time where women should be seen and not heard, she certainly liked to make her mark. 

Without a doubt, the parts to do with the present day are very chilling and you can feel the tension and suspense mount as to whether the paranormal team are going to find any answers are not. It definitely had me hooked.

The Haunting of Blackwych Grange is definitely one to read with the lights on. It will certainly spook you and had me on edge, especially towards the end. A very chilling read and great for fans of ghost stories.
