Craven Manor by Darcy Coates

3.0
This book started out strong and creepy and was headed for 5 stars, but then towards the end and wrap up it got weird and lost its shine. The whole storyline was golden until the author brought fantasy into it and veered away from the paranormal.
Who doesn't like an empty Manor with rules you have to follow to stay safe and payment upfront? Seems easy enough, right? Especially when you really need a job AND a place to live.
1. No strangers are allowed onto the property.
2. Do not enter the tower.
3. Do not leave the groundskeeper's cottage between midnight and dawn.
4. Draw your curtains.
5. Keep the door locked.
6. If you hear knocking, do not answer it.
My rating for spook is 👻👻👻.
