3.5 stars

This is an intense and deep slow burn. It’s very character driven, with very real and flawed characters. Everything unfolds at a nice pace that keeps you wondering what’s really going on. A perfect novel if you enjoy a slow burn, however if you’re looking for something fast paced this may not be for you.

The Haunting of Velkwood has a unique story in that the “ghosts” may be dead……or maybe not?

This is definitely a character-driven novel, where the characters take center stage over the setting or plot. I really liked the two main protagonists, and thought they were well rounded and relatable. I had a bit of a problem with the plot.A few things are left unexplained, and I would have liked more background on one of the minor characters.

Thank you for allowing me to read this ARC! Receiving this book as an ARC did not influence my opinion in any way.
