Reviews

The stars of Amy Clarkins well received debut What Walks These Halls return in a new story which provides the same satisfying mix of paranormal adventure and relationship close ups. Archer, abha, Raven, Fionn and Davis are PSI Paranormal Surveyance Ireland. As a team they are ready to examine potential paranormal activity, to provide reassurance if the cause turns out to be something merely earthly, and rigorous scientific study on the occasions it turns out to be genuinely supernatural. When they are called to a potential haunting in a Georgian house being used as a workspace and private club, it turns out to be one of those jobs where the haunting is very real, and the ghost particularly malevolent. The team are still recovering from the wounds, physical and mental, inflicted in the previous case and theres unresolved tension between abha and Raven in particular which amplifies the danger theyre facing. Add a clever, sceptical journalist looking for a headline grabbing story into the mix and tensions run very high indeed. The ghost story is chilling, gradually rolling closer in the background as these young people tentatively explore their feelings for one another, work out how safe they are in their relationships, and come to terms with who they really are. It all comes to a tremendous climax in scenes that cleverly tie the ghostly elements with the emotional turmoil of the characters. Romance, ghost story, family saga its all of this and more and comes thoroughly recommended
