The Charterhouse of Evil
Haunting Clarisse #5
by Janice Tremayne
Bound to life old and new, the sins of the departed still haunt her. When wickedness infects the innocent, can she see the curse undone?
Western Australia. Clarisse Garcia is ready to return stronger than ever. With her husband by her side, the plucky spirit hunter is back on familiar territory with an assignment for Benedictine monks. And now she’s out to vanquish whatever evil is plaguing the monastic village that caused orphans to mysteriously die.
With what could be a voracious demon on her hands, Clarisse partners up with a man who grew up in the local orphanage to investigate suspicious activities. And as they dig through the monastery’s shrouded history, she discovers that some of these servants of God might not be as benign as they claim… and she may be their next quarry.
Can this driven woman end the impiety before more lives are sent to the grave?
The Charterhouse of Evil is the shocking fifth book in the Haunting Clarisse supernatural horror series. If you like bold characters, adrenaline-spiking investigations, and jaw-dropping twists and turns, then you’ll love Janice Tremayne’s malevolent tale.
REVIEW
5 out of 5
It’s 80F outside, and this book has chills running down my spine. This is my first read in the Haunting Clarisse series, and while you don’t need to read the earlier books to enjoy this one, I’m definitely adding them to my TBR list. The plot moves along swiftly, and there are plenty of twists to keep you wondering just where you’ll land next. Clarisse and Harry are great characters, and I loved following along as they tried to uncover the mystery and stop the deaths. The imagery is so vivid that you become completely immersed in the story, and the monastery itself just feels so…eerie. If it was a real place and I walked in there, I’m sure I would think it was haunted, and unlike Clarisse I don’t hunt ghosts and supernatural entities. I cannot recommend this enough for all horror lovers out there!
