This was, by far, the best book in the series so far. Without a doubt. Going forward, since this is the third book in the series, it will be impossible to stray away from spoilers regarding the older books. Fair warning on that.

Sarah, who is a main character in the first book, [b:Perron Manor|55446843|Perron Manor (Haunted #1)|Lee Mountford|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1600985305l/55446843.SY75.jpg|86464551], feels tremendous guilt over her sister Chloe's death. Chloe was grabbed by what we think is a demon and her neck was completely twisted in front of Sarah's eyes. While leaving the manor in the first book, she looked back into one of the windows and saw Chloe mouth "help me". She had to return to try and save her sister's tormented soul.

An expert in paranormal investigations, David always had an interest in the house. He had been in contact with Chloe and Sarah before in order to attempt to convince them to allow him to investigate the house further after this investigation in 2014, but the sisters had refused. Now, things are different. Sarah contacts David to get him and his team together to start an investigation - one they are equally worried and excited about.

Things happen a whole lot more in this book than in the other two books combined which I find to be a plus. The pacing was still optimal. The character's fears, hopes, and dreams are further brought into the spotlight here, allowing you to connect with them as well or even better than the characters in the previous books.

The horror elements are on point. The information divulged in this book had been great as well, as we learn more about the book locked away in that third-story study and the rituals it contains. I stayed up for a bit too long, over 36 hours, to try and finish the previous book and this book in one go with endless distractions, and of course my mental state had not been the best during the end of the attempt, but holy shit I could not stop looking around my house and feeling my heart jolt at random sounds. This shit is legitimately scary and I can't wait to start the next book.
