Description
*Longlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize*
1901. On board the Ormen, a whaling ship battling through the unforgiving North Sea, Nicky Duthie awakes. Attacked and dragged there against her will, it’s just her and the crew – and they’re all owed something only she can give them.
1973. Decades later, when the ship is found still drifting across the ocean, it’s deserted. Just one body is left on board, his face and feet mutilated, his cabin locked from the inside. Everyone else has vanished.
Now, as urban explorer Dominique travels into the near-permanent darkness of the northernmost tip of Iceland, to the final resting place of the Ormen’s wreck, she’s determined to uncover the ship’s secrets.
But she’s not alone. Something is here with her. And it’s seeking revenge…

I took it for granted that I would love this book before I had even read the synopsis, because I think CJ Cooke is the most incredible writer. But it usually takes me a couple of chapters to get a feel for a novel, to get into the rhythm of it. With "A Haunting In The Arctic", I was there from the first sentence. It's everything I love in a novel. Gorgeous writing, beautifully developed characters, and a plot that kept me hooked.
I loved the multiple timelines. And I LOVED the setting. CJ Cooke is one of the few authors I've found who can make a place feel like a whole character in itself, and this was no exception. I loved, I loved, I loved. My only complaint is that it had to end. I could've stayed in this novel forever.
I will be gifting this to everyone I know once it's out in hardback. The perfect read, not just for spooky season, but for any season. A beautiful book - ten out of five.
Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for granting me a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
