Ashes of Autumn Manor

Overall Rating: 5/5

In the quiet town of Bell River, lies a mansion. An ancient mansion, filled with secrets. Or perhaps.... is it something darker? More sinister.... behind the mansion's gates... or perhaps even the forest surrounding it.... something isn't right....

something has been hidden from the peering eyes of the innocent town that lies not far from the grounds of Autumn Manor....

This book oozes suspense, dark twists, sudden plot changes, and an overall sense of foreboding and danger that keeps you at the edge of your seat, flipping from page to page until the end.

Gothic, chilling, and spine-twistingly good, this amazing work by Mr. Blaine Dagle takes us to a quiet Oregon town where we meet our main character Noelle, a quiet hospice worker brought to Bell River to take care of an ailing man, Ernest August... the father and master of the old mansion that lies beyond the gate.... and a mute child who seems to be frightened by something that she's unaware of... something unknown to her ... to a house that seems to have its own stories it wants to keep hidden out of peering eyes, with its own... seemingly dark secrets ... secrets that perhaps... are best not told?

Wicked engaging, well written, and giving off old school horror vibes, I loved every single page of this novel, from the creepiness of the old mansion, the slow-paced dramatic introduction of the story, the characters, and the chills it sent up my spine as more information and more suspenseful elements are revealed.

Dark, terrifically terrifying story, and DEFINITELY hard to put down.... this will leave your mind tingling with the next What If?
