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. All opinions are solely my own.The Haunting of Hill House meets Knives Out in a bid for an inheritance that will leave Helen Vaughan either rich.or dead. These Fleeting Shadows fit the bill perfectly! I recommend this one for anyone who likes a little scary in their listening or reading! I love horror and anything darkly creepy. This novel was a nice break for me and one I thoroughly enjoyed. She is a new to me narrator but I surely wouldn’t hesitate to listen to her again. You know you have a great narrator when it plays out like a movie in your head and you just can’t stop listening. It is narrated by Megan Trout and she does an awesome job of telling this story. I listened to the audiobook which was fantastic for this novel. Helen needs to learn more about Harrow and her place in it before it’s too late.

This is no small thing as Harrow has always haunted Helen’s dreams and it isn’t long into her stay that her dreams seem to be reverting to reality which is terrifying to her. The only hitch is that she has to remain on the grounds of Harrow for an entire year or she’ll get nothing. Needless to say she is shocked when her grandfather dies and she finds out that she’s the one to inherit everything. Helen Vaughan left her ancestral home with her mother when she was still young.

Between the story and the just the overall creepy feel it kept my attention from beginning to end. These Fleeting Shadows is a YA novel with a dark, gothic feel and lots of creepiness and I really enjoyed it! I know the novel is aimed at young readers but as an adult I found a lot of scenes that actually gave me goose bumples (as I like to call them).
