The Evil Within

In S.M. Hardy's The Evil Within, this dark thriller will send you goosebumps in every page that would keep you up at night. For Jim Hawkes, he needed a clean slate and to retreat to a sleepy village town. He's still wheeling and dealing with the loss of his fiancé Kat and needed time for his heart to heal. But when he arrived in Slyford St. James, it wasn't the respite he was looking for and expected. He learns from his two newest friends that his cottage has a shady history of sorrow and of neglect. Little did Jim know, that on his first night there, he listened to the voices and the sounds from a ghost haunting the home and later attacking him. This started for him to look deeper and harder to find out more about the cottage and who could've haunted him and harming others in the process. Meanwhile, he finds new love with a woman named Lucy, someone who could mend his broken heart. As they grow closer, they learn more about the evil spirit that's been inhabited and possessed a local resident. The danger's escalated and heightened near him as they race against time to exercise the spirit and rescue Lucy from its evil clutches with a fight to the finish in the end.

This was a terrific and bone-chilling dark thriller with a creepy ghost thriller twist. I did care for Jim and how he dealt with a broken heart and then a haunted house--um, cottage. I loved how he'd gotten to the heart of the mystery of who's been haunting him and why. And I liked how he found new love with Lucy and have found new friends in Jed and Emma. I loved the Slyford St. James as the disenchanted cottage town that had its own dark secrets buried in the ground. I also loved the other English settings around the area. The themes from this story are to do your research before you buy, rent or lease a new home. And don't get possessed by an evil spirit either.
