Synopsis

"A dark, disturbing thrill ride." - Publisher's Weekly

Eligos is waiting…fulfil your destiny

1941. In the dark days of war-torn London, Violet works in Churchill's subterranean top secret Cabinet War Rooms, where key decisions that will dictate Britain’s conduct of the war are made. Above, the people of London go about their daily business as best they can, unaware of the life that teems beneath their feet.

Night after night the bombs rain down, yet Violet has far more to fear than air raids. A mysterious man, a room only she can see, memories she can no longer trust, and a best friend who denies their shared past... Something or someone - is targeting her.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"A dark, disturbing thrill ride." “[...]if there is a crown of queen of gothic horror, [Catherine Cavendish] should be wearing it." "Cavendish showcases her expertise at creating a creepy atmosphere and facilitating suspension of disbelief." "Established horror author Cavendish weaves an engaging, multigenerational tale of dark magic and occult dealings in London, both in modern day and during the height of the World War II bombing blitz [...] Dark Observation reads as part occult tale, akin to Rosemary’s Baby, and part feminist World War II novel, like Elizabeth Wein’s Code Name Verity (2012). Readers will enjoy the inventive uses of historical and horror-fantasy plot elements and the great many twists." “Dark Observation overlays the tight pacing and intrigue of the spy thriller with a genuinely creepy atmosphere, and the historical details ring true without feeling intrusive."
