Summary

1970. Baba Lenka begins in an icy Bavarian village with a highly unorthodox funeral. The deceased is Baba Lenka, great-grandmother to Eva Hart. But a terrible thing happens at the funeral, and from that moment on, everything changes for seven-year-old Eva.

The family fly back to Yorkshire but it seems the cold Alpine winds have followed them home and the ghost of Baba Lenka has followed Eva.

This is a story of demonic sorcery and occult practices during the World Wars, the horrors of which are drip-fed into young Eva's mind to devastating effect.

Once again, this is absolutely not for the faint of heart. Nightmares pretty much guaranteed.

Scary and intense in the most Gothic way!!

Brilliant, scary and creepy beyond measure! The narrator's voice was compelling in a child-like way, great performance ! Great story but my next listen needs to be at least a bit more light-hearted! 😊❤🌺

Great story!

Really good story. A struggling family head to the funeral of a peculiar old great grandmother of Eva. Learns of the family bloodline that passes down the female line. Wanted by a secret sect of evil. Very good read felt like I was there thru the whole story. I believe the story could go on and on. Such bloodlines do exist thru evil or good. Well worth the read. The audible reader did a great job.

Genuinely creepy, but not entirely plausible

Stories of devil-worship and black magic need a certain amount of willing suspension of disbelief -- at least for me, anyway. The early part of the book certainly worked: it was creepy and disturbing, with plausible characters. As the story went on, though, it started to get to the point that I realized how preposterous the plot was. The ending kind of fizzled out, as if we should be expecting a sequel.
