**3.5-stars rounded up**The Resting Place is the second novel I've read from Camilla Sten. The first was The Lost Village, which I read in early-2021 and gave 3.5-stars, not rounding up.While there were aspects of that story I enjoyed, overall I would say I had been hoping for a lot more. I'm happy to report, The Resting Place gave me more.This story is about Eleanor, who suffers from prosopagnosia, or face blindness. As in, she is unable to recognize facial features. So, when Eleanor walks in o...

You will not find rest here...."Your fear is valid, but that doesn't make it real. The fear may be true, but it doesn't have to be your truth." The Lost Village was a chilling atmospheric bounty of chilling twists, but this one was even better. This atmospheric Noir thriller will have you shivering in an estate in the countryside of Sweden. With its cold, dark winters and no escape from its past, a diary reveals much of its secrets weaving in from 1966 to present times. The diary was written by

What a creeptastic read to kick off the month of October! For some reason, I skipped over reading Sten's previous book, "The Lost Village" and now I'm wondering what in the name of all things hair-raising was I was thinking. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book and Sten's writing style, so I can't imagine that I wouldn't enjoy that one as well. Interestingly, this is the second book I've read in the last few months that deals with prosopagnosia (face blindness). In all fairness, I do

Camille Sten does a great job of creating a creepy, tension filled story. From almost the very beginning, the book had me on edge. Eleanor suffers from prosopagnosia, or face blindness. So, when she walks into the scene of her grandmother’s murder, she is unable to identify the person who rushes out the door. Then she finds out her grandmother owned an estate in the Swedish countryside which was left jointly to her and her aunt. They go out, with the probate lawyer, to take stock. And then the f...

The Resting Place by Camilla Sten is a psychological suspense with an edge of horror in the mix.

When Eleanor goes to visit her grandmother, Vivianne, she passes someone on their way out only to find her grandmother ly...

The Resting Place is a slow-paced horror/thriller with a novel premise and lyrical prose. The novel is told in two timelines. In the present day chapters, Eleanor is venturing into the secret mansion that her grandmother bequeathed her in her will. She's accompanied by her boyfriend, her aunt, and a lawyer. She had never even known that her grandmother had this mansion out in the middle of nowhere, and there is a lot of mystery surrounding why she would keep this place a secret. Five months ago,...

I LOVED The Lost Village, so when I heard about this book, I was so freaking excited. I thoroughly enjoyed it while hiding under my blanket. Put my other books aside with no regrets and started flipping. I am such a fan of Camilla's style. It's unique and dark and eerie, all the good stuff. I cannot put her books down. This one was grabbed me, sucked me in immediately, and completely freaked me out in a totally different way than The Lost Village. Prosopagnosia "face blindness"...this is another...

This had me hooked from the beginning and I absolutely could NOT put it down! Once I found time to read, it was read in one day! If you are looking for a creepy, atmospheric book this is it.Eleanor has come upon her grandmother, Vivianne, who was just murdered. She catches the murderer in the act but she suffers from prosopagnosia which renders her unable to see exactly who the killer is. (side note: prosopagnosia seems to be a new common theme in novels).

The novel was an atmospheric thriller set in an old family mansion after the murder of her grandmother right in front of Eleanor. Eleanor should be able to point out the murderer but she suffers from prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize faces of even those she knows and loves (even herself). When a lawyer calls for inventory of the house, Eleanor, her boyfriend, Sebastian, her aunt, Veronica and the lawyer all go out to the middle of nowhere to go over it. However, mysterious things start h...

Well where to start with this one? I read this author’s previous work and remember being disappointed it wasn’t as supernatural as I thought. This book for me at least was a little confusing. We jump between two different timelines and there are many characters. However I enjoyed this one a lot more than her first book.Eleanor has prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness. This means that she is unable to recognize peoples faces. Even those who are closest to her. Eleanor unfortunately found h...
