Rating: 4.5/5
I love reading gothic horror novels. After reading “From Daylight to Madness” first book in the Hotel series I was much excited to read its sequel.
“When the Sleeping Dead Still Talk” by Jennifer Anne Gordon will take readers to a totally different world. Story starts with Francis in his hotel room on the second floor. In his childhood, he used to believe in God. But now, he knew that God is not listening but he knew that something is listening. He found the answer he was looking for when he saw Isabella. Since then, he believed only in her. He like to give books to Isabella but now with Isabella dead, to whom he would give.
He hallucinates about seeing Isabella’s shadow, seeing her with Oscar in her hand, hearing her singing her sad song. When Isabella’s casket was taken away from Dagger Island in the ship, Francis accompanied others. Story gets intriguing when Francis was in his little house in the Dorchester Neck.
It is a gripping tale. Narration is smooth and strong. Plot of the story is well constructed. Pace of the story is medium with a complex world. When Francis’s father has shattered glass on his face, he got a permanent scar. Francis’s character is complex and author must have put great efforts in writing it so nicely. Storyline is unique and readers who love gothic horror can’t put this book down without finishing it.
