Marked For Sorrow by Y.M. Miller
Charlotte and Oliver are those 1 in 4. They’ve known what it is to experience baby loss. Every pregnancy they’ve conceived, they’ve lost. There’s no reasoning to it, but Charlotte’s body cannot stay pregnant. It’s killing the couple – Oliver treads on eggshells around his wife and Charlotte cannot bear to see her husband grieving in the quiet of his office. What is it going to take to have a baby or is this cycle of pain destined to continue?
The Willows is their dream home. After receiving a handsome inheritance from Charlotte’s deceased parents after a car accident, they purchase the palatial gothic home. It needs a lot of work. The window shutters are hanging, the roof has missing slates and a boarded-up basement. The couple know they have a lot of work ahead of them, but the real question is what else have they inherited? Strange dreams and frightening visions plague Charlotte, so what else is harbouring in The Willows or are they just Marked for Sorrow?
United KingdomA haunted house story that is deep!
This was a suprise. Deep emotions, sharp as fuck writing and a storyline that goes for the jugular
United KingdomFor those that love a gut punch of a book
So for those that love a gut punch of a book, another amazing book, (even if I am blatantly biased), so I've added screenshots of some other people's review's. But this one really is, for those that know what we have been through in the last while, will understand once having read this , how much of her heart and soul Yvonne put into this. And the results are a beautifully written but macabre and unique story combining the dangers of pregnancy and some supernatural activity to add a bit of spice, Couldn't recommend it more if you like a good horror.
United StatesFeel the Fear
For those who loved Haunting of Hill House and enjoy horror based on mythology, this is 5 stars; a must read. You are transported to the highlands of Scotland where the mountains shadow valleys of moorlands that are often blanketed in eerie fogs-giving the ultimate ambiance and air of mystery. There you meet Charlotte and Oliver, a grief stricken couple, brought together by a love of the macabre, who begin living out an unbelievable horror; one that should only exist in movies and books. I loved this. I am partial to horror with real-world influences- so this is a masterpiece that I thoroughly enjoyed crying over. Will I be looking over my shoulder for days on end following this read? Yes. Was it worth it? YES.
