Blackburn Manor hides a terrifying and unnatural secret. Evil just got a new address…

After months on the run from an abusive relationship, Linda Green is ready to slow down and start her life over again. Exhausted from ever-present fear and stress, she yearns for the peace that a fresh start can bring. A fresh start she hopes to find at Blackburn Manor.
The lush green trees and serene nature surrounding the manor feel so calming to her frazzled soul that Linda is ready to take advantage of everything this peaceful oasis has to offer. No internet, no distractions. It’s perfect.

Until she sees the faces in the window.

Not one to believe much in the supernatural, Linda shrugs it off as just a feeling. But the longer she’s at the manor, the more the feeling of uneasiness grows. From the creepy old neighbor who watches her every move to the moving shadows and unexplained phone calls in the middle of the night, something is just not right.

She can trust no one. Not even herself.

As Linda begins to uncover the history of the place, she is sure that something strange is going on at Blackburn Manor. Something sinister that hides in the shadows, deep within walls cloaked with secrets.

Something that will stop at nothing to keep those secrets hidden.

The Haunting of Blackburn Manor is a chilling supernatural tale of what happens when a woman’s search for sanctuary turns into a desperate and terrifying attempt to save her own life. Evil truly has a new address...

This is a wonderful addition to this thrilling series!
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable.
Great suspense and action with that adds so much to the story.
Such a thrilling read that I couldn't put it down.
Can't wait to read more of these.
Recommend reading.

I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and this is my honest review.

2.75/5

Not my most favorite haunted house story, but not the worst I've read. Feels very Darcy Coates-ish to me.

I think I said in my review of Blake Pierce's Home Before Dark that I think it's difficult to write a haunted house story that is really different than what is already out there, so it becomes about writing a combination of characters and situations that pull people in and make them want to keep reading. This is getting there for me, the first part of the book was not quite there yet. It's weird because it's 6 small installments vs 1 comprehensive book. I'm reading it 'late' so all installments are out. It's not good enough for me to read them back to back to back because I just HAVE to know what is happening, but it is good enough for me to keep reading them. So...2.75 stars it is, a little better than average.

I received this book through ARC in exchange of an honest review. This is part two in the series and the scary is ratcheting up! All Linda wants is escape from the past, and a normal life. It ain't happening! Well developed story line, great characters, and just enough scary to keep you reading! On to the next episode! ( I am loving it! )

Confused & annoyed by this chopped up book?!

I dont understand...Great story but I find it jarring and annoying that it's cut up into so many books. Good thing I like the story enough to find the next book or I just wouldn't bother. I just don't get the inconvenient set up at all. It really kills the flow of the story, which is good.

4.5 stars for Voices in the Night

As you might guess, the voices are (hopefully) from nightmares. Unfortunately, three women in the same house are having the same
nightmare at the same time. Not certain I would want to share them.
Just too bad the portion of the story is only 50 pages of so in each book. Good story, but I need more!

I received an ebook from the author and this is my voluntary review. If houses could talk.......... Be prepared to be scared! This is a fabulous continuation of Silent Sanctuary. Wait for part 3 coming soon. Enjoy! 📚📚

This is a good book with a few good scares but in reality it is not feeling like I am reading a book rather like I am reading an episode in horror series. And the story too is so short like each book is an one hour episode.

Poor Linda is she losing her mind? or is there really something going on? Seeing shadows, weird phone calls, bad dreams and now her counselor had a nasty fall. Can't wait for the next book.

A car accident, strange blobs caught out of the corner of the eye, unsettling phone calls, shared dreams, thumps in the dark basement, - the tension is racheting up. Getting to be nice and spooky.

An interesting book, but a little slow in some places, mainly due to repetition.
