A HAUNTING IN THE ARCTIC – C.J. Cooke (Released February 27th, 2024)
Quick thoughts as I finish the book: My timing was off with this one – I thought my blog tour day was later than it was. BUT I’m almost done and my initial thoughts are that this is MUCH darker than I originally anticipated it being. That’s definitely not a bad thing, if anything I’m liking it more because of it. It’s atmospheric and almost claustrophobic because of the setting and the weather. It’s really immersive and I’m anxious to see how it ends. I’ve seen mixed reviews on the ending so far, so I’m curious where I’ll land!
Book Description:
A deserted shipwreck off the coast of Iceland holds terrors and dark secrets in this chilling horror novel from the author of The Lighthouse Witches.
The year is 1901, and Nicky is attacked, then wakes on board the Ormen, a whaling ship embarked on what could be its last voyage. With land still weeks away, it’s just her, the freezing ocean, and the crew – and they’re all owed something only she can give them…
Now, over one hundred years later, the wreck of the Ormen has washed up on the forbidding, remote coast of Iceland. It’s scheduled to be destroyed, but explorer Dominique feels an inexplicable pull to document its last days, even though those who have ventured onto the wreck before her have met uncanny ends.
Onboard the boat, Dominique will uncover a dark past riddled with lies, cruelty, and murder—and her discovery will change everything. Because she’ll soon realize she’s not alone. Something has walked the floors of the Ormen for almost a century. Something that craves revenge.
