If you tell me that there is a book about a catholic orphanage where demonic presence possesses children, I am THERE!

This book was terrifying. This isn’t the whole jump scare and visceral horror that I usually really love in horror books, but instead a quieter, more atmospheric horror that was just incredible.

Set in 1898 against a snowy backdrop, and inside the walls of an all boys catholic orphanage, we follow a group of boys who live, work and worship together. Peter, a boy who lived most of his life here is just deciding whether or not to dedicate his life to the priesthood.

But an evil is unleashed upon them all, a demonic presence and it is changing the boys who live there. A rift between good and evil is evident and Peter and his friends have to stop it before it takes all of them.

I had read this one already in ebook but I enjoyed it even more the second time around as an audiobook. It made me feel more immersed.
