A decades-old murder. A strange, blood-thirsty cult. And a house full of spirits. It was supposed to be a new beginning, a fresh start in the Shenandoah Valley, where Scarlett’s memories weren’t riddled with drug addiction and rehab. But after purchasing an abandoned house with a checkered past in the hopes of transforming it into a luxury bed and breakfast, strange things start to happen. Disturbing voices and noises interrupt her new life. Strangers appear, bearing cryptic warnings. A tunnel is discovered underneath the house—one historically used for a local cult’s rituals. After several of Scarlett’s guests are hospitalized, she realizes she is being targeted by violent spirits.
My Review:
Rating: 4/5 stars.
I am reviewing this book after receiving a free copy from Hidden Gems Books. I had no idea what to expect from The Meadows by London Clarke. It took me longer to read than I expected, only because I couldn't read it at night. I doubt I would have slept well! As soon as I read the prologue I was hooked and then I didn't put it down. Only when I had to! While reading it I got so engrossed that I would jump when someone spoke to me or I heard a noise I wasn't expecting. The Meadows was so thrilling and the suspense was unbearable. I enjoyed all the characters and was intrigued by Scarlett because of her real struggles. It was refreshing to read a character that wasn't perfect and did make mistakes. All the events that happened to lead up to the events happening in the house were graphic and well written. There were many twists and turns that kept me reading. Knowing that this will become a series really excites me for the next book. This was my first book from the author London Clarke and I am glad to have found her work. I will be greatly anticipating her next book and recommend this book to those who love reading thrillers.
