Between the cover and the fact that I got it for free, I was expecting a 3 star at best. However I found it to be creepy and an amazing storyline. I thought it was a bit predictable, but that might be because of someone the reviews I read before hand that gave away some hints. It was easy to read and to want to read. It definitely earned its stars and I will be watching this author to see what else he comes up with. My rating system: initial feeling= 4 writing= 3 readability= 5 plot= 5 originality= 3 predictability= 3 ending= 4 interest= 5 (  ) starslight86 | Jul 20, 2021 | 4 Stars Arc Book Review Release Date-18/7/18 This was such a great little ghost story wasn't expecting to like it quite as much as I did. The tale centres around Kelsea Stone and her return to her roots after her parent's death. Kelsea can't remember her early childhood its all a blank: all she recalls is the experience of growing up in care without a mum or dad. So when she is the beneficiary of there will after there demise shes heads back to her beginnings to close up the house she has inherited and close the door on this chapter of her existence for good. But somethings there and its been patiently waiting for her return: what's more it's really angry and wants some justice served. Kelsea is in for some scary ghostly encounters while reclaiming her inheritance. So that's it in a nutshell: really can't elaborate more without spoiling this. So what I will say is give this a go: it was surprisingly addictive, so much so that I raced through this in one sitting. An unexpected little gem that hooked me from the start: managing to expertly ramp up the suspense and the tension until I was practically on the edge of my seat: biting my nails from the nerves. A story that just when you think you've got its number manages to change directions on you catching you completely unawares. This was really well written and ever so nicely done indeed. This one most certainly gets a thumbs up from me. Thank you to the Author and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy of "Little One" of which I have reviewed voluntary.

Reviewed By Beckie Bookworm. https://www.facebook.com/beckiebookworm/ www.beckiebookworm.com ( ) carpathian1974 | Nov 7, 2019 | At the beginning, I was afraid it would turn into some kind of cozy romance ghost story, but fortunately it soon became much darker and things turned out to be very different from what they seemed... As I mentioned before, the story was predictable at times, and I often wondered how the female main character could not notice what I already knew to come. But then again, it's always easier to see the whole picture from the outside rather than being right in the middle of it. Still, on several occasions I wanted to smack her on the head for acting so naive. How could she just go to sleep and rely on her - only barely known - friend to 'take care of things' with a dead body lying in her backyard? It just seemed plain stupid. Then going into town next morning without immediately rushing over to the police station, but instead doing nothing about it - again? That was a complete no-go. However, it explained her repeatedly unsuspecting behavior - but then again, the story would have been much shorter if she acted more clever, I guess. Still, despite these flaws I was totally immersed this book, due to the author's very fine writing skills which created a perfect reading flow. Also, I did like the mostly sad but also scary ghost part of the story, and how the reader was mislead in the beginning, only to be rewarded with a very fascinating turn of events. If you like ghost stories, you may want to add this one to the list.

""I would have been a beautiful woman by now. But when a body turns to dust before its time--when the mold is broken early--the spirit, like a casting, takes the mold's last form. Though my awareness has grown, I retain the likeness by which I was last known: a girl of six years. My soul has not passed over because I have not yet let it. I have grown and have learned to become patient. I am patiently awaiting my passing over, but I must have one thing before I am swept away by Elijah's fiery chariots. I must have vengeance. The wind outside moans through the trees, telling me that my time is coming. It warns me to be careful, that vengeance is cold, too, and empty. But how can anyone trust the wind? Nobody knows where it comes from, or where it goes. Vengeance will be mine." Kelsea Stone can't remember her childhood, and frankly, she doesn't really care. She's doing fine on her own in L.A. without any family to tie her down. But when she finds out her estranged birth parents have died and left her their house in Canaan Valley, West Virginia, she discovers more than just an inheritance waiting for her in the mountains."--Back cover.

Kelsea Stone arrives to take possession of a house left to her by her birth parents after their death. She has not seen them in years and barely remembers them at all. She has few memories of her early childhood and none that start before she was given up for adoption. She doesn't even remember that as a small child she once lived in this very home.
She intends to clear it out and sell it off, or perhaps rent it out as a vacation property. However that proves difficult with the rumors surrounding the home. The story line was fairly predictable but I enjoyed the spooky atmosphere, as I am a sucker for howling winds, heavy snowfall, and buried secrets.
I received an advance copy for review. (
