Dark Road Winding

by C.H. Sessums

Johana Hall has her hands full juggling personal life and her public relations career in Washington DC. The last thing she needs is to get called back to Texas because her Grandpa H.M. believes he’s being haunted. Adult Protective Services wants to put the elderly ex-con in a nursing home, but mysterious happenings at the homestead convince Johana he isn’t as crazy as everyone thinks. Getting to the bottom of the local legend is the least of her worries when she realizes someone is willing to go to any means to get her grandpa off Sara Jane Road. Can she figure things out before it’s too late? Dark Road Winding was originally a part of the Once Upon a Midnight Dreary Anthology. This novella contains extra material not previously released.

Captivating, I love local legends coming to life.

[Veronica Rivera · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story was super short but it struck a cord. I literally started and just could not put it down. writing as C.H.Sessums, Olvia Hardin weaved a Texas legend of a woman "Sara Jane" who searches through out the night for her child. As I was reading it conjured the Spanish tale of "La Llorona" where a woman is searching crying out fir her lost child in the deserted and isolated coutryside. Sometimes you coukd hear the woman crying and at other times you hear the child crying for it's mother.

Incredible how these two stories across country and live on both sides of the border. Overall it was spell binding and with enough twists to keep you going.

I love when there is a story woven around a legend. I love how the story unfolded and you were able to see how everything happened long ago. I really enjoyed this story I look forward to more by this author.

I was given an advanced copy of this book in return for an honest review. This is a short story that is very well done. A page turner. There is a mystery to be solved and a ghost to help. I could not put this book down had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. Love Grandpa HM. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
