3.5 stars.THE HAUNTING OF SHADOW HILL HOUSE is the first novel I've read by author Caroline Clark. In 1690 tragedy struck this large estate in the form of an abusive husband and father. However, the new family moving in from out of town are ignorant of the house's history. Planning on turning the place into an "artist's retreat", Jenny, Mason, and their young daughter, Abby, settle in--exhausting all of their savings to do so. With Mason no longer having a job, Jenny sees this as her chance to make her dream-job a reality.
Unfortunately, if it fails, they have nowhere else to go.
". . . it should have inspired her but still she felt nothing . . . "
While the exterior looks like a dream come true, the interior is another matter entirely. Suspicious stains appear on carpeting no matter how often they're cleaned. Then there's the issue of Abby immediately latching onto an imaginary friend named Victoria.
"Every time someone has moved in there since . . . well, there has been a tragedy . . . "
I felt that Jenny's character, and that of "Victoria", were the most fleshed out in this novel. Jenny immediately latches onto the "wrongness" in the home and her life becomes entwined with that of the past.
". . . she felt as if she was waiting . . . but waiting for what? . . . "
The atmosphere of the estate was best when stories of the past were brought up. I felt that the most intense emotions and believable characters were set in that time frame. Aside from Jenny, herself--who seemed the most involved with the forces around her and trying to "care for everyone"--the other characters just didn't impress me with the same depth of believability. They felt more like they were thrown in to play a minor role, and that the tale itself revolved primarily around two central figures.
Overall, I felt that the storyline itself was strong with an emotional pull, and some genuinely creepy moments. However, the lesser roles of other characters, numerous repetition of certain phrases, and a character that did play a pivotal role, but seemingly came out of nowhere, detracted from the novel maintaining a continuous connection. While this story fell "middle of the road" for me, I will certainly try another book by this author in the future.

The Haunting of Shadow Hill House Caroline Clark 9781521268889 Books Reviews
Awsome book. Just when you think it's over it starts again loved every minute. It feels like they should make this a movie I could see it happening as I was reading
Very readable book, I truly enjoyed it but I figured out what they needed to do before they did. Good anyway, I will definitely read this either again.
I read this in one day, that is how great this book is. I didn't want to put it down, great ghost story that will having you going on a roller coaster of emotion. Great author
I loved it! From the first book they just seem to get better. Going to tell all my friends. I can almost hear the wind and feel the room chill .
This was a weird book. I thought I had purchased The Haunting of Hill House, but it was this one instead. It drug on and just abruptly ended.
wonderful read
This ghost story would have had 4 stars from me if it wasn't for the frustrating sentence construction, with sometimes such strange verbs, and often messy syntax. There are commas where there should be periods, and vice versa. The author spins a good ghost story, better than most of the "haunted house" stories. But the jerky style does not count in her favour. Caroline, you really need a good editor. Also, the story became drawn out and somewhat unbelievable towards the end. Your plot was good, but a pity your writing style mars the story. Anyway, I did read to the end and hope I never meet such a "strong" ghost!
3.5 stars.
