I don't have the book in front of me, but I think the last chapter (when facing the ghost behind it all) was the scariest, The scene with the knife and all sure was chilling.

The beginning in general was the scariest for me, not a particular chapter. After the first few chapters lost it's horror vibe and was just an awesome thriller! The ending I thought was the best! It was action packed and had me gripping the book with white knuckles. Lol.

I agree with TrishaAnn92, the beginning was just all over freaky to me. I'm not a ghost person, but once I was pulled into the story I couldn't stop.

Thank you! I take it as a huge compliment that you were pulled in even though you don't really like the genre!

The part about finding the hidden rooms spooked me! I have been remodeling my home and we found a little hidden area in our house behind a wall we took down so it hit close to home for me! I can't imagine finding any other hidden areas in my house. Hopefully the rest of our remodel goes smoothly!

Creepy houses have always been a big draw for me so it was natural for me to go there. Lol!
I'm glad it had the desired effect for you ??

Fear? Me? Never. 8-)

The ending was very climatic, though.

Can you guess which ending will stay in the book?

The last chapter was definitely the scariest. Going into it, I wasn't sure if this would be an "happily ever after" story or not. I was scared to death that Charlie would be taken permanently to the past. I was so glad that she conquered Martha, with the help of the others, of course.

Latest Review: "The Understanding" by Dennis Pennefather

Post by Rachel1019 »

I think the scariest part about the book was finding out about how Jay had been possessed by Amos for years and that was the reason why Charlie ended up in Leigh and in the house. Ghost possession is scary enough, but for Charlie, she just assumed that Jay was an abusive person. If she had never started having the encounters, she may never have found out that the person she lived with for years was actually a good person.

I hadn't thought about that aspect. It was good to see that Jay wasn't a bad guy but the possession by Amos is far more significant than I was originally thinking. It was truly pivotal to the group figuring out what was happening.
