First I want to say thank you to author, Duncan Ralston for providing me an ARC copy of this book before release and this is my honest review.

WOW! This book was a grabber from the first page and kept me in a state of suspenseful tension throughout the whole book!

Welcome to Barrow's Bay. Strange and mysterious things abound in this town, so when Martin Savage who is a true crime author, finds out the murderer who is known as Witch Hunter escapes, Martin goes into high gear. Martin decides to go back to a place where he grew up along with Sheila Tanner a forensic psychologist to get as far away as possible from the Witch Hunter.

What Martin doesn't know is that though he is running from a murderer he is heading straight into the depths of hell as the town he grew up in holds a terrible secret that will send him and Sheila spinning into terror.

Horror knows no bounds as the women known as the Midwives are evilly rooted into the town. What they want, what they will do and what they can do will bring Martin and Sheila to a point where they will wish that they had never come to the town. It would have been better to run straight into the arms of the Witch Hunter than to have run to the town of Barrow's Bay.

What happens to Martin and Sheila once they get to the town? What are the Midwives exactly? Does Martin and Sheila make it out of the town alive? What happens with the Witch Hunter? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book!

Twisted with a heavy dose of gore mixed with horror is the name of the game in this book and as always the author, Duncan Ralston delivers the reader into the hands of a terror filled ride into bloody horror!

So strap in, keep your hands inside the ride at all times, and get ready for a roller coaster ride of terror as once you arrive in Barrow's Bay, you might not be able to leave! Five stars for one hell of a ride!

This book is going on my favorites shelf and I highly recommend to all horror fans! ( )

I got this book from NetGalley for a honest review
First of all, thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC for this book. The Midwives is a horror book that is absolutely amazing. I loved it. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend it. We follow true crime writer Martin Savage and forensic phycologist Sheila Tanner when James Barclay - aka the Witch Hunter, the subject of Martin’s latest book and insane serial killer who has something against Martin - escapes and is determined to kill them both. Martin and Sheila themselves flee to Martins to Barrow’s Bay, which is the island where Martin grew up. They stay with Martin’s mother Ruby and aunt Norma, who raised him. However, Barrow’s Bay is not what it seems to be, and especially the Midwives who birth every baby on the island. There are a lot of secrets that are uncovered on this island.
This is my first horror book that I’ve read, and I’m pleasantly surprised. It is incredibly creepy, but not overboard. It’s incredibly addicting, to the point that I was reading this book in the middle of the night. And did not get nightmares, surprisingly. I loved every second of this book. I highly recommend it. If you want to get into horror, this is the book to start with, as it’s absolutely perfect. Or you want a good creepy book, as it’s very creepy. I won’t look at midwives the same ever again. Thank you for ruining them for me. ( )
