This was a cool ghost story that gave me some spooky chills!

A little backstory for you readers:

A few friends get together at a museum as they have heard rumors that there is treasure to be found out in the bay as the museum sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean. There is a legend that pirates ransacked the area then their ship sunk out in the ocean with gold and jewels.

The friends do not realize that that the museum is haunted until they start hanging out there and as time moves on when they try to go in search of the treasure out in the bay they don't realize that they have awoken long dead pirates. The pirates are not going to relinquish their treasure willingly and even in death the treasure still belongs to them!

Thoughts:

I have read this author before and really liked his writing style so I grabbed a few of his books last year to read some more of his work.

The book starts out slowly with a little bit of world building and as the story moves along there is lots of spooky atmosphere as the haunting escalates in the museum. I would have given this five stars as the creepy trepidation of the haunting was superb but the characters just were not attachable to me and the story itself drew out far too long on the haunting of the pirates as it took awhile for the ghost pirates to even make an appearance.

All in all though the book has tons of atmosphere with the museum being haunted and I would still recommend it to readers that love haunted horror along with a mixture of pirates and lost gold!

Giving this one four Creepy Chiller stars. ( )
