Nestled between counties Limerick and Cork in Southern Ireland, something evil lurks in the place of High Death.
When Vicky’s boss offers her a free vacation in a self-catering cottage over Halloween break, she jumps at the chance to spend quality time with her twin sister, Irene, and Irene’s miniature schnauzer, Ronnie.
The village of Basard may boast Ireland’s longest running Halloween celebration, and one of the country’s best preserved standing stone circles, but Vicky finds the place rather dead. What’s more, she can’t sleep for the nightly roars of a distant crowd.
Will the twins survive this Halloween vacation to wake the dead, when their 7 days in paradise turns into 7 Days in Hell?

Creepy town with terrifying things happening underneath it all

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020

I gave this novel four stars!

This is my first read by Iseult Murphy, and I had a great time!

This book centers on two twin sisters going on vacation. Many people dream of the beach, but they get stuck with Basard, a small village with quiet folks and strange stone circles. Trying to make the best of their situation, they explore the town, but as odd things begin to happen, the sisters begin to worry that more is afoot. Can they figure it out, or should they just run for the hills?

I enjoyed many things about this book.

The characters were portrayed well. The twins especially felt real to me. Irene is intelligent, studious, and no-nonsense, while Vicky is more carefree and lackadaisical. I liked how they interacted with one another. Like all siblings they fought quite a bit, but in the end they had each other's backs. That's family, and it was very believable.

The plot had me from the get go. Weird vacation spot? Check. Peculiar townsfolk? Check check. Strange happenings? Check check check! I enjoyed the small town atmosphere of Basard. It had this underlying eeriness to it that kept me flipping through those pages. Is there something supernatural, paranormal, or is it all in the twins' heads? Once things intensify, you won't want to stop reading. There was a lot of great action in this book.

If I had to pick at anything, I would say that here and there the writing could got a little choppy or too long-winded, mainly towards the later half of the book. Still, that didn't take away too much from my experience, and I ultimately thought this was a great read.

I'm excited to dive into the next book that comes out in October. I have a feeling some terrible stuff is about to happen!

An Isolated Setting, Plenty of Gore

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2020

7 Days in Hell is a delightful, scary, occult story featuring twins Irene and Vicky in rural Ireland.

PROS:
The setting descriptions make it feel like you’re right there in the historic, mystical countryside.

Murphy knows how to push the creep factor so that the hairs on your neck rise. She also knows how to write gore. There are several scenes that made me cringe (in a good way!).

Irene has a dog that plays a significant part in the book. Every story is better with a dog in it.:-)

I like the clever, chronological chapter headers named after days. Monday is creepy. Wednesday is scary. Thursday is Murphy at her best.

As bloody and scary as this book is, there are sparks of goodness throughout so you’re not depressed when you finish reading. The twins’ relationship, the inquisitive nature of Irene’s little dog, and the power of faith all contribute to a hopeful feeling at the end of the book. (Don’t get me wrong. I’m not necessarily saying it’s a happy ending. It IS horror, after all.)

CONS:
It’s a little wordy. I think the prose could have been tightened up, especially the first third of the book when we’re getting to know the twins.

Mostly the book is well edited, but there are a few typos, not so much that they make the book less enjoyable, but enough to interrupt the flow of the story here and there.

OVERALL:
7 Days in Hell is an original horror story with lots of “fun” gore, an isolated setting, and uplifting rays of hope. Four stars.

Story – 4.5 Stars

“7 Days in Hell A Halloween Vacation to Wake the Dead” by Iseult Murphy was such a pleasure to read that I couldn’t help smiling a lot… up to a point.

The story is about two girls (twins) and a cute little dog whom go on a 7 day vacation to a supposedly quaint little Irish village… the week preceding Samhain! You can imagine what happens next!

The story really takes off like a bottle rocket in the second half, and at times the suspense is unbearable. That damn little dog!

The reason I loved this book was because the main characters were so perfect! The two sisters were quaintly old fashioned in one way but still modern and adventurous. They were charming! And the little dog was added for cuteness and extra suspense!

It seems as if the saga continues, too!

Not a bad start to a series

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020

There's a lot to like about 7 Days in Hell if you're a horror fan. The descriptions bring the setting and characters to life, and the author doesn't skimp from the (sometimes literally) bloody and gory descriptions. The biggest problem with the story is that it didn't "grab" me until the last third of the book. Before that, there was enough to keep me interested, but I wasn't rushing to turn the pages and find out what was happening.
Still, it was good, especially the finale, and the bloody parts. I might check out the next book in the series when it comes out around October.

I thought the characters were delightful, Irene and Vicky that is. The gore of the book was well placed for horror.

Completely enthralling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2020

A truly gripping read. Urban twin sisters travel for an autumnal break deep into the Irish mountain countryside, replete with muddy country lanes, rolling green fields and idyllic hamlet, only to find themselves exchanging what they expect to be a peaceful retreat for a horrifying adventure delving into the heart of darkness. I found myself living each moment through with the protagonists, and look forward to further instalments of this unfolding plot, with its deceptively super smooth villain. Compulsive reading.
