Gallows Hill

“Gallows Hill” by Darcy Coates had me spooked to my core! I couldn't read it while home alone! I enjoy the thrill of scary stories and this one was top-tier for atmosphere. The perfect book to read at the start of spooky season!

Margot, who hasn't seen her parents for most of her life, finds she inherited their home and the family business, a winery, after their suspicious deaths. When Margot arrives at Gallows Hill, she discovers a curse on the land and fights for her life to escape the same fate as her parents.

Despite the story feeling a tad long at times between the action, this was such a thrilling read. I LOVED the atmosphere of the old, creepy house and the history. The plot is good, but the atmosphere was the standout for me. Not to mention the ending had my jaw dropped to the floor! I would have loved the end to be expanded upon because it was so interesting, but it was still satisfying nonetheless.

I would recommend this book if you enjoy thrilling, spooky, haunted reads that will keep you up at night. It was so fun following Margot on her journey of discovering the life she may have lived if she grew up on Gallows Hill.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
