Newlyweds Charles and Grace decide on a quiet honeymoon in
Cornwall after Grace experienced a traumatic accident on a previous holiday to Turkey.
When their train terminates early due to a storm, they’re forced to find accommodation
in the sleepy town of Saltwater. However, there is only one guesthouse, The Anchorage,
left with rooms available is it really as empty as Charles and Grace think?
In the night, Grace is woken by the haunting sound
of a child crying but the next morning when husband Charles convinces her that it
was her imagination. But the following day, she finds a warning scrawled in the
guest book: Leave now. Do not trust them.
With phone lines down, no transport links and no
wifi Grace and Charles are truly stranded in the eerie guest house.
This was such a chilling read, it made the hairs on my arms
stand up. It was the first ghost story that I’ve read as I’m a bit of wimp when
it comes to things like that – however it completely gripped me and I raced through
the book. I’m sure at some points in the story that Grace was turning the pages
for me, as they seemed to fly by!!
Charles, the husband was creepy and got under my skin, and I felt
like we didn’t really know much about him as we only got hints of his back
story, but then I didn’t want to know more about him, because the set up of his
character made him all the more haunting.
There were occasions when Grace came across as timid and
fearful and other times when she displayed real ballsy moments.
With 60% of the book read in bed last night, I knew that
there was absolutely no way that I would be able to get to sleep until I knew
the ending!!!
Not wanting to give anything away, the ending was great, all
the loose ends were tied up and explained…or where they?
