And why do the candle shadows it threw on the wall remind her of scenes from her terrifying past? Turns out, a deadly curse is behind it all, linked to an ancestry about which Emma had no knowledge. It leaves her desperately embattled yet again, compelled to fight for her life against an all-too-familiar enemy.The question is, will she be strong enough?***Variously described as ‘gripping … compelling … powerful,’ this first in series fuses thrilling supernatural storytelling with a smattering of police procedural. As one reviewer puts it: When Angels Fear is a novel bursting with curious pendants, strange cabinets, caskets which are impossible to open, missing daughters … blackbirds, stinking fog and rictus smiles. This superb novel takes gothic horror to a most frightening level.”If you like your supernatural thrillers to be unremittingly tense, you’ll find Angels an exciting ride that won’t put you down ’til it’s finished with you and will especially appeal to fans of Darcy Coates, Phil Rickman and Susan Hill.
