Hewhay Hall is a charming novella, one for a single sitting. It's the story of Jude, whose desperation to feel whole again after losing a leg while trying to rescue a family from an imminent bomb blast, leads him to seek out the elusive and mythical Hewhay Hall. I shan't say too much about Hewhay Hall and who it is for, because it will spoil some of the revelations in the story... but it has fallen into bad hands and bad ways. Can our hero rescue himself from his dire circumstances or the other...more
Hope. It’s such a simple word. Yet it’s what drives most of us. Hope for a brighter future. Hope for wealth, happiness, health.

This was a premise with a lot of potential but, unfortunately, much of that potential failed to materialize. The lead character never quite gels and it is very difficult to share any sympathy for him even after the reader has gotten to know him a little better. The events that befall him, as he searches for Hewhay Hall never seem very credible and when you meet his wife and daughter, you can kind of see why his marriage is failing because, as...more

When I first got Hewhay Hall for the blog tour, I wasn't sure what to expect, mainly because I've never really read books in this genre: adult-ish, with a tinge of horror (call me a wuss, but oh well). Anyway, I could say that I was in for a small surprise, because this book was creepy. And I don't usually get creeped out easily. So Susan Roebuck definitely did a good job with the horror, because even though I slept soundly, the nightmares and everything that happened in Hewhay Hall made my skin...more
Review to follow....
I'll admit to approaching this book with some trepidation. The author's previous - and debut - novel was a male/male romance set in cowboy country. How would she handle a dark supernatural tale? The answer is: pretty damned well. Roebuck's writing style is different from my own but I have to say that in parts my skin crawled and that little icy bicycle ran down my spine. That was a pleasant surprise. We get some good characters, too. The barmy local medium is just like someone I know. And in tru...more
Hewhay Hall is a brilliant read. Compelling, scary and packed full of atmosphere. Jude, Tess and Leah - the main characters - work well. They're real and credible and the relationship rings true, with just the right amount of conflict. The suspense and build up of terror is excellent and I stayed up rather later than I should as I couldn't put it down. Clever ending too, which I am not revealing. This is also a highly original plot and written in such a visual way, it demands a film! In short -...more
