Wow! The third book was an awesome ride into terror!



This book picks up immediately after the first book "Haunted: Perron Manor" as the second book "The Devil's Door" is about the massacre that took place in 1982, so this book "Haunted: Purgatory" comes back full circle to the events that took place in Haunted: Perron Manor.

A little backstory:

Sarah enlists the help of David Ritter and his team of paranormal investigators to help with the haunting of the manor as things took a turn for the worse and Sarah needs the team to do whatever it takes to get rid of the haunting.

Little do they all know that artefacts that lay within a room upstairs in the manor has been having a serious affect on the manor itself and when David decides to bring forth Father Janosch to view the artefacts is when things go from bad to worse. One of the artefacts ia an ancient book which needs to be translated to make sure it is not a fake as in order for the Church to get involved they have ordered Father Janosch to do whatever it takes to make sure the book is real.

However by attempting that feat, it could very well put all of them in demonic danger to the point of not only surviving demonic physical attacks, but for their souls to survive as well.

What happens to the team? Do they translate the book? Does anyone survive the manor? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book!

This book took off like a rocket as the haunting slowly escalates in the beginning of the book and then the dreaded feelings of the characters are felt within the pages of this book! Every time something happens I could feel what they were going through as if I had been pulled literally into the story!

Author, Lee Mountford, just has a certain flair of drawing the readers into his world and keeping them there for the duration of the story. I became so engrossed in the story and what was happening to the team that I felt jumpy when reading the book as I could feel the skittering chills racing across my spine as the story intensified with the haunting activity in the manor.

I read the book up to the 30% mark in one sitting as I was just entranced with the story and could literally not lay the book down! The last half of the book I read within twelve hours as when I hit the 50% mark the book just escalated into a fast paced romp which kept me breathless and on the edge of my seat as I just could not seem to break away from the book till I read the last page!

Giving this book five "Spooktacular" stars!

Highly recommend to all horror fans that like your houses/manors/ghosts/demons active!
