Annie is struggling to come to grips with her status as newly widowed. She is about to become a single mom and grieving not only the loss of her husband, but the fact that he will never know the child he so desperately wanted.

Her sister suggests a change of scenery may help lift her from her depression. So off she goes for a stay in what is meant to be a peaceful little cottage in the country. That peace and quiet is short lived when it becomes apparent that more than one ghost inhabits this property and is seeking the closure and justice they never got in life.

This was not really a story I would have expected to find in the horror section, but it was a fairish paranormal mystery.

An unusual storyline about ghosts, grief and murder. However, although I enjoyed some of this book, overall I found it to be rambling with characters I didn't care for or about and a confusing bizarre ending. An ok read.

Found this to be poorly written and it felt more like a self-published novel than anything else.

As soon as she arrives, strange things start to happen to her, She is woken in the night by dark sprit who is determine to tell her what secrets sound the cottage. 
The book started very well and I enjoyed getting into the fast paced plot however I then felt it was somewhat rush towards the end and not as dramatic as advertised on the book. It started as a good thriller and turned into the main character becoming a ghost whisper. Not being a great speller myself or proof reader, It doesn’t tend to bother me to much when there are typo and spelling mistakes, unfortunately there were a lot which were very noticeable.
While I didn’t love it, I would read another book from this author and look forward in doing so.

I received a copy of " Lay me to rest"  in exchange for an honest review, and all I can say is that I really love it! It jus keeps getting better. The story is beautifully written,sad,dark  and full of nostalgia. I will definitely follow the author's future work.

Let me start by saying this, if I ever find a mysterious box I would think before I opened it. This is an excellent addition to the paranormal and mystery suspense genre. I was glad when I started reading it that it wasn't very late and it was still light outside; definitely gave me some chills. I love to be surprised when I am reading  so E.A. Clark did an amazing job keeping me guessing from one page to the next. Annie is an amazingly strong female lead that I can't wait to find out more about. Thank you NetGalley and E.A. Clark for allowing me read and give an honest review of this book.
