I can’t put my finger on why, they were complex and felt realistic, but something just stopped me from overly caring for about half the book.

What you do have here though, is a good read, not challenging but holding its own on the enjoyment scale without taxing plots and characters. I found Kirsty to be quite a likeable character, someone to sympathise with and root for, sharing her hopes for a better future for her and her family. All the characters were realistic and believable, even the slightly weird ones. But above all, there’s a tense atmosphere throughout the story, that feeling where you know something will happen but you’re not quite sure what it will be. It all leads to an incredibly jaw-dropping conclusion that left me reeling. This is one of those stories where you suspect just about everyone and I did. From Kirsty’s husband to her brother, to the odd guest with a dog who keeps yammering on about bad energy. Even the house itself made my spine tingle and it made for the perfect location. There were a few things that seemed rather obvious to me as the reader, but not necessarily to the characters which just added to the intrigue. I have been a fan of Claire Douglas' previous books but this one was definitely favourite. I started this in the afternoon and stayed up late to finish it last night. This book had it all and more, couldn't wait to find out how it was going to end.Kristy, her hubby Adrian and their children head to Wales to start a b&b guesthouse business, with the help of Kristy's Mother Carol. After a taut period for the family, Kristy believes the guesthouse is exactly what they all need.

Is the author being paid to advertise certain products? Why else is it necessary to tell us that Bea wears Emma Bridgewater oven gloves when removing food from the Aga? She seems always to dress in tea-dresses, usually made or designed by someone called Alice Temperley – but Abi prefers Gap. Of course, all goes far from according to plan.... the first guest arriving with an unexpected dog in tow and immediately announcing that the house has a “bad energy” is only the start. Kirsty’s long-estranged cousin Selena has also come to stay with her disabled daughter, fleeing her marriage and - as ever - bringing trouble with her. Strange things are happening - threatening messages which seem designed to taunt Adrian, who is recovering from depression, in particular. This hodgepodge of different personalities along with strange occurrences eventually cumulates into a set of circumstances where all are pointing fingers and nobody knows who is innocent or guilty and quite who to actually trust.Initially, all is well as the beautiful people live carefree and happy in one big house, hanging out and enjoying each others' company. Then things start to happen that starts Abi on a journey of unsettling behaviour and mistrust of others. Abi conosce Beatrice, una ragazza ricca che ospita in casa sua degli artisti e suo fratello gemello Ben. Except sometimes discovering the truth can cost you everything you hold dear – your family, your sanity and even your life. I won't spoil the book for those yet to read it. Suffice to say that the Becons of Wales are atmospheric and so is the village where the family settle. Old scores are to be settled and whilst some wounds heal others are opened up and will remain (possibly forever).

Okay to be completely honest I'm not fully satisfied with the book but at same time it isn't that bad. It depends really (considering I have a pretty dark mind so I was kinda expecting more) I mean it's not boring as I read this in one sitting and gave it 4 stars. As the daughter of a librarian Jen's love of books started from a very early age. Her reading obsession continued throughout her teenage years when she studied both English Language and English Literature at college.As Carl Jung's patient in Zurich in 1926-27, American psychologist Christiana Morgan (1897-1967) made paintings of her trance-induced visions of an assertive woman's heroic quest. But Jung, according Continue reading » When Claire Douglas is not writing her novel, she loves to watch movies and read perhaps because she did a BTEC in Media Studies and Film Studies at the A Level. Moreover, she does believe that studying film has been instrumental in how she constructs her story structures and plots. Before she got started writing novels, she was a journalist and worked for the likes of “Take-A-Break,” a woman’s magazine where she wrote true life features. After quitting her job, she teamed up with one of her friends and set up a small press Agency in Reading. Douglas second love was psychology since she loves understanding the motivations and drives of people. She has asserted that if she was not an author, she would have pursued a career as a psychologist. When she is not writing her novels, she loves to read and take a walk in the park with her children. I love listening to thrillers at work. A truly great one that hooks me can make the working day much easier. DO NOT DISTURB started off great, I wanted to know more. What happened between Kirsty and Selene? What is happening in the house? Is it haunted or is just someone playing pranks? Or is there something sinister going on?
