Halloween Night – Slayton
Five girls go to Blackhall Manor (Yes! The Blackhall Manor!) to play the midnight game. They write their names on paper, soak it in their blood and knock (not three times) twenty-two times – thus, inviting in the Midnight Man!
“If you open your door to the Midnight Man, Hide with a candle whenever you can. Try not to scream as he draws near, because one of you won’t be leaving here…”
Remember, he is not Candyman – he is the midnight man. Five entered the Manor – only four will go home! Some game, huh?
Detective Sarah Noble has just returned to the force, and she knows a very painful thing or two about Blackhall Manor. This new case will not be a welcomed blast from the past. In fact, it is going to be a nightmare!
Intriguing, dark, atmospheric, and deadly. This is the beginning to the Slayton Thrillers and what a first installment! I enjoyed this intriguing and tension filled book. It kept me on my toes, guessing and doing my own detective work. I was way off with my guess and though the reveal was a little out of left field, I didn’t mind it too much. I hope future books dive a little more into Sarah’s past and her character is fleshed out a little more. There were times when I read this that I felt as if I had missed something. But I have a feeling the next book will fill in some gaps and dazzle me even more.
Enjoyably dark and sinister.
