Sophie and Joseph Argenton have survived the impossible this house of ghosts… for now. But their escape from Northwood is short-lived. The sinister shadow that haunted their ancestral home survived, and has attached itself to Joseph's young cousin. Desperate, they travel to meet her father at Kensington, a long-abandoned mansion overlooking a dead town. The house offers a small hope: its original owner had dedicated her life to researching the monster that now possesses Elise. There's a chance that here they will find a way to kill the creature without harming the girl. But Kensington has its own dangers, and once it has Sophie and Joseph within its grasp, it may never let them leave. Trapped inside the ancient building's collapsing walls, Sophie and Joseph are forced to confront the horrors that hide within. Shrouded figures stalk them from the shadows. Whispers echo through the night. Unmarked graves dot the property. And the dead are not as restful as they seem…

I enjoyed this even more than the first one. I wasn't sure if the book would be better because of what happens in book one but I was wrong. Darcy Coates has a way of writing these awesome horror scenes. She really brings a book to life with those. I enjoyed the main characters even more than in book one. They didn't annoy me then but i felt like the book could have been longer to flesh out their romance a bit more but they come together nicely here. We even see Sophie show even more spunk that she's not even aware she has. The more of Darcy's books i read, the bigger of a fan I become.
