I've kind of gotten behind reviewing the books in JEA's Project 26, so just ahead of the new year, I've decided to pull my finger out and start posting more of my reviews...
Haunted House Harbour is the latest book by Roma Gray, of Hunted Tribe fame, and starts yet another series off - her third to date. A group of building inspectors sent to the mysteriously named Haunted House Harbour to finalise inspection of a new housing project that is just being finished, soon realise that by some strange quirk of fate, they have manage to discover one of the only safe havens from looks like the end of the world.
Roma Gray here throws everything but the kitchen sink at her protagonists, as all across the globe different threats start appearing, one after another, that threaten the whole of humanity.
A strange, mysterious group of figures - that seem to represent the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - appear to be the ones responsible, but what they don't realise is that one amongst them is not as willing as the others to watch the whole world burn...and as the end of the world draws ever closer, it soon becomes clear that only those who can reach Haunted House Harbour will be the ones with the best chance of survival.
I really enjoyed this book, but for me it ended too soon. Just as things start to happen, Roma finishes the book on one of what is swiftly becoming one of her trademark cliffhangers.
I would have liked to see more, and this book merely acts as an amuse-Bouche, or a hors-d'ouerve, for what inevitably you know is going to have to follow.
Still, if you like being left hanging while you wait impatiently for the next installment, then this book will be right up your street.
This book has a lot of potential, I only hope Roma doesn't keep us waiting too long before she fills in what happens next....
