Wow! I have read a few London Clarke books and all good but this was so intense. I have read this trilogy in order and I'm glad I did. it put the characters of both previous books together nicely and the horror of what they all go through is so well written you almost feel it yourself. I think this could be read as a standalone but I'm glad I have read all 3 books!
To me London Clarke is one of the greats in horror/suspense writing and I love her books.
Thank you netgalley.

This was a fascinating look at cult mentality and how it preys on the vulnerable. This was a southern gothic tale of humans who would be vampires - or sanguinators- as they preferred to be called, ghosts and possessing spirits, slaves used for sex and as blood donors. Many thanks to Netgalley for an arc of this book.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is the first book by London Clarke that I have read and I absolutely loved it! If you love vampires, gothic fiction, demons, ghosts, dark reads and the haunting of Hill House - this is definitely for you!

This book had me hooked from the first chapter and even had me jumping under the covers after turning the light off in bed.

Laura is Hunters wife and the main character in the book. She went missing 5 months ago and turned up after an accident. The book flicks back and forth from the present to 6 months previous and has three characters POV's. Laura has been in and out of mental hospitals nearly all her married life and gets drawn under the influence of a deadly cult....

Nocturne house is a frightening, dark and demonic place of nightmares!

I expected the story to be really enticing, and honestly I was disappointed. I was able to predict the story and that is why I didn't like it. I was rather bored. I had high hopes, because I love vampires and fantasy and cult story-lines.

This book held promise for me until I got to the cults. The cults use a psychological ward that "cleans" people off their meds and drains them dry to use as a blood bank. There are people held hostage and women being sexually coerced to join.

Not my kind of book.

Nocturne house brings the Legacy of Darkness series to its end in a suspenseful and thrilling modern day vampire novel.

Vampires..Demons..Haunted houses? Sign me up! This was the first London Clarke book that I have read but I was impressed. Even having not read the other books in this series I was still able to enjoy the book. I do think reading them in order would still be beneficial and personally plan to go back and read the others.

If your a fan of supernatural beings you will greatly enjoy this book. I found myself invested in Laura and Pearses stories. While this book is focused mainly around Lauras interactions with SOAL ( formally known as the colony) it is heavily entwined with the lives of Pearse and Avery ( the protagonists from the previous book). All the characters seemed to be well developed. As I was reading I felt like I was reading about real people because their personalities were so well written. London Clarke is quite simply a phenomenal writer!

Overall, Nocturne house is a truly thrilling read. It will grab you from the start and wont let go. The plot and characters are fantastic. You will love some and hate others. I can presume that the previous books were just as amazing and that this is the finale of the perfect modern day vampire novel.
