Jack & Ali move to a self-sufficient commune in the English Fens. They are desperate for a fresh start & hope that the quiet & communal living will help. The commune is situated in 'Rosalind House' a former psychiatric facility (or as they used to be known, an insane asylum) with a chequered history & one of the commune residents, Angela, is trying to prove the existence of ghost activity there.

OutsmartYourShelf The other residents start to become suspicious when it's clear that Jack & Ali have secrets they are running from, but with the weird occurrences since their arrival & the local history of the witches who once lived there, Ali wonders why no-one seems to want to talk about it.

I wasn't sure about this one at the start but it turned out to be worth sticking with. It's told from several points of view but the main voices are Ali & Angela.

OutsmartYourShelf It does jump the shark a little towards the end, but it was a good read although I'm not sure it would hold up to repeat readings once you know the ending. 4🌟
