The vivid description paints a perfect picture of them and all I can say is, 'No, thank you.' Not to mention the number of secrets hidden between the walls.

The creatures that go bump in the halls during the night are not the ones you want to meet ever in your lifetime. THESE FLEETING SHADOWS is an odd young adult horror novel full of suspense and creepy vibes. However, the situation is less than ideal when your life is on the line and it's hard to determine if it's better to uncover the secrets, or leave them at rest. Along the way, she gains the help of the 'Harrow Witch' Bryony who's quite attractive to Helen and feelings even start to develop between them. Helen isn't easy to scare off and she's determined to unveil the truths of Harrow.

Right? Who cares if her family members are odd.īut the more time she spends there, the more Helen realizes that things aren't as they seem. With no other option, Helen decides to stay and get through the year. She has to stay at Harrow for at least a year or else she gets nothing.

Here, they find out that her grandfather has left Helen the estate along with a hefty sum of money, but there's one condition. When her grandfather passes away, Helen has to return to Harrow (her childhood home) with her mother and brother and meet the family that her mother has been trying to keep her out of. She no longer wonders if she wants to leave…but if she can. With each twisted revelation, Helen questions what she knows about Harrow, her family, and even herself. Why is the house built like a labyrinth? What is digging the holes that appear in the woods each night? And why does the house itself seem to be making her sick? Helen knows that if she is going to survive the year, she needs to uncover the secrets of Harrow. For as long as she can remember, Harrow has haunted Helen's dreams-and now those dreams have become a waking nightmare. The inheritance comes with one condition: she must stay on the grounds of Harrow for one full year, or she'll be left with nothing. So when her grandfather dies, she's shocked to learn that he has left everything-the house, the grounds, and the money-to her. Helen Vaughan doesn't know why she and her mother left their ancestral home at Harrowstone Hall, called Harrow, or why they haven't spoken to their extended family since.
