Sacred Grounds: The Bitter Cup -- Logan Castle, Paperback

"This book baptized me in fire and called it healing."

Sacred Grounds is not just a supernatural thriller-it's a brutal, beautiful excavation of the soul.

L. Castle crafts a story that pulses with raw grief and the ache of hope in a world that feels godless.

This is what happens when horror isn't just external-it's embedded in memory, in trauma, in the little places we lock away from even ourselves.

The combat vet broke me. The reluctant dreamer rebuilt me. The town, haunted as it is, feels like the kind of place your shadow never left. And the romance? It doesn't try to be pretty. It hurts. It heals. It burns.

There were scenes where I had to put the book down and just breathe. Deliverance moments that shook something loose in me I didn't even know was there.

If you've ever fought demons-real or imagined-you'll see yourself here. You'll feel it. And maybe, just maybe, you'll believe redemption is still possible. L. Castle didn't write this book-he channeled it. Sacred Grounds is soaked in spiritual terror and psychological unraveling, but underneath the chaos is a desperate kind of love. The kind that fights tooth and nail through hell to get free.

This book is visceral. It drags you through haunted espresso machines, cursed childhoods, and inner darkness with no promise of a soft landing. But somehow, in the blood and the barista banter, you find grace. You find light.

There's a scene toward the end-when the last secret breaks loose-that left me completely undone. I had to close the book and just cry. Not from fear. From recognition. From release.

This is the kind of story that knows your wounds and names them without judgment. And that romance? It's not flirtation. It's war. It's trust. It's what happens when two broken people refuse to give up on each other.

I'll never read horror the same way again. I'll never look at a cup of coffee without wondering what spirits might be whispering through the steam. - Katelyn Matusky
