by Elena Taylor
An eerie suspense novel, in which a grieving woman takes a job at an isolated mansion only to become wrapped up in the curse that seems to have befallen its eccentric owner. Emily Grace has endured the worst loss imaginable. But can she survive a remote manor haunted by more than just memories . . .? Drowning in grief, Emily Grace has lost everything: her home, her friends, her career. Only one lifeline remains—a job working for an eccentric millionaire. Along with his wife, he’s been building a mansion on a secluded island surrounded by a harsh and unforgiving sea. But when she disappears under mysterious circumstances, Emily Grace is hired to finish the project. Locals believe the house is cursed, but their warnings go unheeded as Emily Grace works to rebuild her life.
After what she’s been through, nothing can scare her—except perhaps the attention of a handsome man offering more than friendship. And yet, there’s something strange about this solitary fortress. Accidents. Mishaps. Ghostly whispers through the surrounding forest, footsteps when she’s completely alone . . . Is there truly a curse or is the ethereal specter in the window an omen of something more sinister? This spooky standalone from phenomenal crime author Elena Taylor will have readers sleeping with the light on for weeks! With vibes of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, fans of Riley Sager and thrillers with light horror elements will love The Haunting of Emily Grace!

★★★★★Dread creeps like the rising tide in Elena Taylor’s spellbinding new suspense novel The Haunting of Emily Grace. Moody and atmospheric, this dark story lives in the space between grief and madness, reality and what we fear is real. As the waves crash against an isolated island home, so too do the buried traumas of its tortured inhabitants. At one point in the book one character assures another, ‘It will take you awhile to regain your land legs’; this is really a message to all readers, who will find themselves unsteady and uneasy after being tossed about by a story that pulls you under and refuses to let go. Taylor doesn’t just conjure suspense—she dissects it, peeling back the fragile layers of identity, memory, and trust until nothing feels safe. The Haunting of Emily Grace is deeply unsettling in all the best ways
