Another classic gothic tale by the talented Darcy Coates. This book focuses on a woman named Clare who was on her way to her aunt Marnie to pick her up and travel to her older sister Bethany's bunker to stay safe as something strange has happened and the world has changed forever on her way she gets in a car accident and wakes up in a strange place injured and disoriented she can't remember much. She meets the handsome but odd Dorran, who tells her she's at his family estate Winterbourne Hall. A gothic isolated mansion in the middle of the woods. Clare is recovering but struggles to trust Dorran as her memory slowly fragments regains her memory she isn't sure if he saved her or if he is keeping her there. She wants to contact her sister Beth and leave but due to the vicious snowstorm she's unable to leave so she has to wait out the storm with Dorran. She doesn't like Winterbourne Hall she keeps hearing creaks and doors closing and seeing grisly visions of mangled people but Dorran tells her repeatedly that it's just the two of them there. The secrets unfold about the dark past of Winterbourne Hall and even worse discovery of the outside world. Something horrible has happened there have been towns and Cities that have been turned into quiet zones meaning no phones, no wifi, and people haven't been heard from in these zones, only that these zones are spreading and something has happened to these people in these zones that have turned them into hungry monsters including Dorrans mother who was on the road when she was attacked and
Turned. This quiet zone explains the bizarre weather that they're experiencing at Winterbourne Hall. I loved reading this book it was fantastic I loved the eerie gothic isolated mansion and woods atom. I loved the old world gentleman character of Dorran. I can't wait to read the rest of the series a definite must read
