"A gripping, tension-filled book that had me turning the page with the hope that my mind would be eased by the conclusion."
The third in a Paranormal horror series that sees three friends investigate an abandoned Welsh mine. ‘Shacklady’ by Keller Yeats is book three in the Nick Swann Investigates series. In this story we see Nick and Wendy visiting Alan’s new house before being drawn into a dangerous, underground paranormal investigation of an abandoned mine.
The more the group learns about the mine’s history the more they find themselves caught up in a battle between malevolent sources. This is a very creepy story that has you feeling uneasy from the very start, as the group explores the Silas Shacklady mines and the ominous and unexplainable presence of The Lady Emily that looms near the entrance.
Moments of tension are expertly created throughout the book, with lighter moments as Nick and Wendy reunite with Alan, although the spectre of what lurks in the mines is omnipresent throughout the plot. The author’s descriptions and writing style were perfectly unsettling, it seems that they are able to turn anything mundane into something sinister.
I made a note about a quarter of the way through that I never knew clocks were so creepy. I haven’t read the two previous books in the series, however I was able to enjoy this investigation on its own and get to know the three main characters. I would say that it may be of benefit for any readers to enjoy these books in order, starting with Powderfinger, as there are references to past cases and the character’s dynamics seems to have been fairly well established in previous books.
A gripping, tension-filled book that had me turning the page with the hope that my mind would be eased by the conclusion.
