the haunting of maddy clare by simone st james

I was literally jumping at every round while reading. This time around, the ghost was much more malevolent and aggressive than I was expecting. This book was much different than The Broken Girls but the style and haunting plot were what I expected from St James. Can Sarah and Alistair’s assistant, the rough, unsettling Matthew Ryder, discover who Maddy was, whereshe came from, and what is driving her desire for vengeance-before she destroys them all? ( summary from Goodreads). For Maddy’s ghost is real, she’s angry, and she has powers that defy all reason. Soon Sarah is caught up in a deperate struggle. Since Maddy hated men in life, it is Sarah’s task to confront her in death. Alistair Gellis-rich, handsome, scarred by World War I, and obsessed with ghosts- has been summoned to investigate the spirit of nineteen-year-old maid Maddy Clare, who is haunting the barn where she committed suicide. Sarah Piper’s lonely, threadbare existence changes when her temporary agency sends her to assist a ghost hunter. I have her latest novel The Broken Girls to review in March–side note, order this book now, it’s fantastic.Īfter reading The Broken Girls, I was so in love with her prose and style, that I picked up all of her novels to read as soon as possible! The first one to come into my library was The Haunting of Maddy Clare so I picked it up and almost read it in one sitting because it was that good! I discovered Simone St James by happenstance this month.
