Reviews for Who Watches This Place (Volume 2)
The stars of Amy Clarkin’s well received debut What Walks These Halls return in a new story which provides the same satisfying mix of paranormal adventure and relationship close ups. Archer, Éabha, Raven, Fionn and Davis are PSI – Paranormal Surveyance Ireland. As a team they are ready to examine potential paranormal activity, to provide reassurance if the cause turns ... Read moreout to be something merely earthly, and rigorous scientific study on the occasions it turns out to be genuinely supernatural. When they are called to a potential haunting in a Georgian house being used as a workspace and private club, it turns out to be one of those jobs where the haunting is very real, and the ghost particularly malevolent. The team are still recovering from the wounds, physical and mental, inflicted in the previous case and there’s unresolved tension between Éabha and Raven in particular which amplifies the danger they’re facing. Add a clever, sceptical journalist looking for a headline grabbing story into the mix and tensions run very high indeed. The ghost story is chilling, gradually rolling closer in the background as these young people tentatively explore their feelings for one another, work out how safe they are in their relationships, and come to terms with who they really are. It all comes to a tremendous climax in scenes that cleverly tie the ghostly elements with the emotional turmoil of the characters. Romance, ghost story, family saga – it’s all of this and more and comes thoroughly recommended
Books for Keeps Fans of last year’s hit, What Walks These Halls, will be delighted to learn that they do not have to wait long to rejoin the gang at Paranormal Surveyance Ireland. Raven, Archer and the gang can’t go too long without finding themselves deep in a spooky mystery. She revealed that the plot for this book came to her in a nightmare so, you have been warned
Irish Examiner beautiful … Sequel to What Walks These Halls, a YA horror with some genuinely terrifying moments. Also features an amazing found-family friendship group
ScorpioBookDreams “I just thought an escaped ghost would want to do something creepier. ” / You clearly haven’t been hit on by men in a bar.” The banter is strong in the second instalment of Amy Clarkin’s PSI (Paranormal Surveyance Ireland) novel, Who Watches This Place. The late-teen and early-twenty- ghosthunters are still recovering from the events of the first book, with the passionately scientific Davis more determined than ever to gather data that can’t be argued with, and terminally avoidant Raven reluctant to hone her newly discovered psychic gifts. A new case arrives, as does a complication in the form of a young journalist determined to expose PSI as charlatans … This is a story with plenty of supernatural elements, including a chilling haunted portrait, but ultimately it’s an ode to friendship, a cosy hug of a book that celebrates found family and relationships of all kinds … Clarkin has built a world in which friendship can literally save the day. This is the kind of book that will make so many readers feel seen and comforted and hopeful’
Irish Times, Claire Hennessy What Walks These Halls was one of my favourite books last year, it’s still living rent free in my head, so its no surprise Who Watches This Place was one of my most anticipated releases and it did not disappoint. It well and truly exceeded my high expectations! It’s unputdownable from the first page, spooky and will definitely leave you unsettled in the best way … I love the author’s writing and how she weaves paranormal, found family and the highs and lows. It feels like you’re right there in the story. Particularly with Fionn, who feels isolated from the group. We get to know him more in this one, I don’t want to spoil anything, he’s become my favourite character though. I can’t recommend this enough, its perfect for those who love spooky with an emphasis on paranormal investigation and will leave you either wanting to spend the night in a haunted building or never setting foot in one. I’m definitely the former!
PrythianBworm a very satisfying read and I hope we get another instalment!
Sifa Poulton with a perfectly paced plot and engaging side stories that weave their way seamlessly into the main narrative, this book (along with its predecessor, What Walks These Halls) has made it to the top of my fantastic horror pile … the plot, the pace, the setting, the emotional baggage grumbling in the background, the evocative twists and turns; all create a tale that will leave you glued to the page and on the edge of your seat. This book will haunt your dreams (or rather nightmares) for a long time. Absolutely brilliant!
Fallen Star Stories readers with an interest in the paranormal will love this gripping thriller about Irish teen ghost hunters … this book is much more than a ghost story; it also deals with loss, love and found family. Highly original and deliciously chilling
Irish Independent spine-chilling … with a fantastically paced plot, a growing sense of creeping dread and building panic, the story deals with not only ghosts, but also chronic illness, sexuality, mental health and acceptance
