Dream Cottage by Harriet J Kent - [Book Review]

Summary:

Newly married Greta Berkley's dream is to return to live on her beloved Isle of Wight, her birthplace.

During a weekend visit to her parents' house on the Island, Greta and her husband Max, discover a remote, rundown cottage. Having tracked down its owner, Rev. Oliphant, who agrees to show them around, Greta falls in love with the place. She persuades Max it's their dream home. The Reverend agrees a price and the sale is arranged.

Greenacres is in need of complete refurbishment. During the renovations, Greta accidentally falls through a hole in the kitchen floor, which she assumes to be an old well. It harbors a passageway and an underground room where Greta finds an old wooden box. She also discovers that Greenacres has an unwelcome occupant of the spiritual world. With the help of struggling celebrity medium, Nonie Spangler, Greta tries desperately to protect her home and combat the supernatural happenings.

Set against the Isle of Wight's rolling, breath-taking countryside, Dream Cottage charts the dissolution of a dream into a nightmare, as Greta Berkley battles with the unknown, with startling consequences.

My Review

Dream Cottage is a different type of horror. There is some comedy and suspense combined with horror.

The storyline is quite unique. The story starts with the wedding of Max and Greta. Greta sure makes her wedding fun by making the guests and groom search for the Spider due to her phobia and at last faints. After marriage, Greta is impressed with the cottage that she finds during dinner with the family and asks Max if they can buy that cottage and live in the countryside of the beautiful island.

When they buy their dream cottage from Reverend Oli and start renovations, they experience paranormal activity inside the house and some mysterious incidents. What happens next is the remaining story.

I love Greta and Max, and their chemistry. Jeanne is an interesting character. The book cover is perfect. The narrative is fun and easy to follow. The climax is fantastic. Enjoyed reading this book!
