Publisher's summary

An unspeakable horror nesting within castle walls.... 

After years of being away, Mihail Vaduva has long forgotten about his grandmother and his ancestral home. That is, until he comes across an exciting opportunity to reconnect with his family’s history. Enticed by his newfound escape from boarding school, Mihail decides to spend his last year of high school in Castle Vaduva. But he never could have expected the horror hidden within the ancient walls.

When Mihail roams the maze-like hallways, he quickly realizes that the castle is not the peaceful respite he thought it was. Instead, he finds himself herded by unseen forces and pushed into hidden rooms, full of long forgotten secrets. But secrets aren’t the only inhabitants in the archaic structure...there are ghosts. Ones that don’t rest and certainly don’t forgive.

Dragged deeper into the twisted madness of Castle Vaduva, Mihail desperately races to find a way to appease the dead. His search leads him to Abe Claymont, a powerful medium who Mihail hopes can bring peace to the restless spirits. 

But the evil that lives in the castle yearns for neither peace nor forgiveness. It hungers to add new souls to its collection of the damned. With its sights set on Mihail and Abe, together they discover an evil that’s darker than anything they’ve ever imagined....

Eerie!

Mihail Vaduva grew up in Castle Vaduva but left when he was little. He's now decided to come back and help his grandmother and do his final year of high school there. But upon entering the grounds, unexplainable things happen and Mihail discovers that secrets have a way of coming out and his very life might be in danger.

This was awesome!! The story takes off right from the start and it's pretty much non stop all the way through. A lot of mysterious things happen and not everything lines up, but the suspense kept me reading. I was as clueless as Mihail half the time and was wondering if I missed something, but no, it eventually comes together and we get some answers! Not all of them though, there is still an awful lot left open and it made me eager to read the next one!!

I loved Mihail!!! He is terrified most of the time and reacts how I'd expect someone with no experience of the supernatural to react. He was really easy to like and I was rooting for him the whole way through. I also loved Abe!! He is a tattooed, Jewish medium, and quite ripped by the description. How could you not like him!!! I'm on the fence about Grandmother though. I'm not sure what to make of her!!

In all, a fantastic start to what seems to be an incredibly eerie series. I loved the setting, the characters and the story and I need to start book 2 straight away!!

Thom Bowers has an impressive array of tones, voices and accents and his performance here felt like listening to multiple narrators! I highly recommend his work. #

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Nesting

Sara Clancy has fast become one of my favorite authors and Nesting is once again great ! Love the new charaters and the plot is great ! Always love Thon Bowers's narration! Can't wait to see where the series takes me .

I’ll play demonic games all day!!

As per usual Sara has created a world you are totally immersed into. Her character development is beyond compare! Totally terrifying and unforgettable!!

Incredibly fun book

This book is incredibly well written and narrated. A fun story that has lots of twists and turns and even more action. Loved it. Can’t wait to read the 2nd book

Who can resist a haunted castle?

Starts off with a boy arriving in Romania to help his grandmother but right from the start things are weird. Someone or something pushes him and he falls a distance into water, in the water he finds a ring that his grandmother practically snatches from him, a little weird. It only gets stranger as night falls and he starts to see who else, or what else lives in the castle. Gargoyles attack and he seeks help from a rough and tough guy from across town. Should he be concerned that this tough man refuses to go into the castle? Will he be able to help his grandmother? What is the deal with that ring? What a great start to a series! I had been looking for a good ‘haunted house’ book and this has a little bit of everything. If you haven’t read any of Sara Clancy’s books, dive in! You won’t regret it!

Secrets Lurk At Home..

Mihail returns home to the anscestral castle that he grew up in before boarding school, and discovers that things are not like he remembers. The castle is full of secrets, and not all of those secrets are safe.

Interesting read overall.

Great 1st book

I didn't know what to expect with this book, especially after reading some of the reviews. I really enjoyed the story, characters and overall atmosphere of the book. This was innocence meets evil from beginning to end. I can't wait to read the next in the series to see the story develop even further. I liked the character Abe and Mihail. Boy was Mihail ever innocent when it comes to things that go bump in the night. By the end of the story, much of that innocence was tarnished. Good writing, characters and story.

Very Syrange Creepy Castle

This is book one in a series of three. Sara Clancy does a great job creating a mood. You have the grandson Mihail Vaduva who grew up in the Vadusa Castle in early years then spent his time in boarding schools. Grandma needs help, His mom cannot go so he decides to do his last year of school in the Castle Vaduva in Romania. Then he finds his grandmother and the castle have secrets. There are Demons and ghosts. This castle with a strange layout. You could get lost in nothingless in this castle. The plot is well developed and you have believable and interesting characters. Mihail gets a big adventure with the ghosts and demons. Thom Bowers does an excellent job with the narration. Thom has a way to make you feel the emotions of the book. I enjoyed this book.

Spooky Castle

I totally enjoyed this horrific Ghost/Demon book. It starts out when Mihail Vaduva returns to his birthplace, a castle in Romania to complete his last year in high school and to help his elderly grandmother Bunica Draciana. He find s out there is much paranormal activity occurring and keeps getting lost in so many passageways. He seeks the help of Abe Claymont a Scottish medium to get rid of spirits and find dangerous activity. Love the characters of Mihail and Abe , it is a real creepy story and recommend.
