I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this and flew through it in less than a day. Although maybe enjoyed isn't the right word considering the themes involved.

The plot follows Lindy as she grieves for the death of her father who died in a car accident after they had an accident. Lindy blames herself and this manifests in a decline in her mental health and self harm through hair pulling. The depiction of Lindy's determination in her mental health was accurately portrayed and did leave the reader questioning everything. Was she being haunted or was it a psychosis from her inability to cope with her grief?

I think the epilogue was a bit predictable, but it didn't detract from the overall themes of grief and mental health and the different ways people cope. The fact that this started as a novella for the author's dissertation is incredible and I'm really impressed with how it was fleshed out into a full novel.

This book follows Lindy Pennyworth after her father’s death. Mental illness, grief, the supernatural and family are interwoven to create a supernatural thriller that started off very strong!

I did feel that the book lost its way at the end and I was quite disappointed by that.

absolutely brilliant I devoured this in a day and really enjoyed the story although a little creepy it definitely keeps u hooked with great characters

This is a first person perspective about a girl who has lost her father in a tragic accident. Since this has happened she has become withdrawn and taken to compulsively pulling her hair out to deal with the loss of her father. It details her declining mental health and how this has effected her relationships with her mother, her family and friends.

This realistic but saddening story shows how a persons reality can be warped when their mental health declines. A story which is about the grief over a child losing a parent in a accident then turns out to be something else and means that Lindy is putting herself in danger as her reality is not what everyone else is seeing. The author describes how she feels that her friends and family do not understand and believe her and this is when things take a dramatic turn and results in her putting her life in danger several times.

I really enjoyed the writing style and admit that this is not a novel for everyone however it shines a light on just how important it is to be support when mental health is declining.

This book was so original and had me questioning EVERYTHING. It was gripping from start to end and is full of vivid descriptions and imagery. I loved it.

Lindy Pennyworth is grieving the sudden death of her father after he got in a car crash. She can't forgive herself for telling to him in anger the last time she saw him. Her mental health is suffering.
Lindy thinks that if she could only make contact with his spirit she could make things right. Then the haunting starts...

The Haunting of Lindy Pennyworth is written is such a clever way. Told in the voice of Lindy herself, it leaves the reader unsure of what's real or what could be all in Lindy's head. The book also has some appealingly spooky descriptions of Oxford's cemeteries, scary supernatural manifestations and stunning twists. It's a true page-turner and a perfect read for Halloween.
