I really enjoyed this book. The atmosphere was brilliant and very gripping and tense. Definitely underrated and need more people to see this book and read it

23-year-old student Tadhg Kelly & his twin brother, Declan, are about to head off for a weekend getaway. Declan will be joined by his girlfriend Katie but Tadhg recently split with his boyfriend when he caught him cheating so he will be third-wheeling & not looking forward to it. As they get near to their destination they stop at a rundown shop & petrol station for supplies & the man there is friendly until they tell him they are headed for the village of Killimercy.

The man tells them to turn around & go home, & they leave feeling a bit shook up but decide he was just a bit weird & they carry on. They reach the village & everything is old - cars, houses, the way the people there dress - & the people seem very odd. The cabin itself is lovely, but weird things start to happen & Tadhg starts to notice a unique Celtic symbol wherever they go. They finally decide to leave but is it already too late?

I liked the basic premise, it had the vibe of 'The Wicker Man' crossed with an episode of Supernatural. It also had good pace & an intriguing storyline, although the ending was a little disappointing after all the build-up. It was a quick fun read, especially if you like creepy horror books.

TWs: blood, injury detail, infidelity.

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Cranthorpe Millner Publishers, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
