I came across Catherine on social media. I wasn't an existing fan. In fact I didn't even know that Catherine was an author. I soon learned that she wrote novels, so intrigued I decided to give one of her books a try. This one was on a promotion so I purchased it to add to my bedside reading pile.I wasn't a big fan of this genre, I tend to read biographies by choice, so it was a while before I picked it up to read. But boy! When I did I couldn't put it down. I finished the whole book in just two sittings. I have now bought another three books by Catherine and I consider myself a convert.If you haven't read any of Catherine's work then do yourself a big favour and rectify that situation soon.

I don't want to say too much about this one as I feel a lot of the joy of it lies in discovering its clever and thought-provoking nuances throughout the read itself, which I found to be pleasantly chilling, captivating, and flush with detail in ways that were both immediately and consistently satisfying. If you're looking for a rock-solid supernatural/paranormal excursion, do take a trip to "The House at the End of Lacelean Street." You won't regret it!

This book was a mesmerizing fever dream and I couldn’t get enough of it. I’m usually a slow reader but I burned through it in only a couple of sittings. One thing is certain and that’s Catherine McCarthy can write. I loved the way she blended psychological horror with what could have been a Twilight Zone episode. If you’ve been looking for a haunting, atmospheric read with a twist of cosmic mystery, look no further. Highly recommended.

I’ve never before read anything by this author but I’m now a fan. I immensely enjoyed this novella, wherein three amnesiac strangers find themselves in a mysterious house, searching for their pasts and inching toward tentative bittersweet realizations. Featuring unexpected turns and realistic characters, the story isn’t exactly horror, nor is it fantasy, but is something all its own. A satisfying and enjoyable read that’s over all too quickly.

I really wanted to love this book. The reader is drawn into the story from the very beginning. The author keeps the reader turning the page as we are drawn to each character and their stories. Like the characters, we want to know who they are and what brought them to the house on Lacelean Street. However, although the characters seemed to be satisfied with their answers, as a reader, I was not.I am still unsure as to how the words written on the chalkboard have helped them to heal and how spending these days within the house on Lacelean Street has resolved any conflicts they may have been struggling with.
