Darkhouse
by Halle, Karina
Perry Palomino has always been able to see things others cannot, a burden that leads her to investigate the crumbling, legend-soaked Oregon coast alongside the cynical Dex Foray. Their work documenting local hauntings takes a sharp turn when they arrive at the remote Blackwood mansion. This is a story about the weight of history and the way secrets rot a place from the inside out. The pacing feels like a slow descent into cold water, where the atmosphere is thick with dread and the lines between the living and the dead become dangerously blurred. It is perfect for readers who enjoy ghost stories that prioritize slow-burn tension and building chemistry over cheap jump scares. If you want a book that makes you keep the lights on while you unravel a mystery tied to a decaying, sentient house, this is your next read.
