An eerie and romantic Southern gothic drama
Gripping, fast-paced, gorgeously written, and with unforgettable characters, Cauchemar tells the story of 20-year-old Hannah, who finds herself living alone on the edge of a Louisianan swamp after her adopted mother and protector dies. Hannah falls in love with Callum, an easy-going boat captain and part-time musician, but after her mysterious birth mother, outcast as a witch and rumoured to commune with the dead, comes back into Hannah’s life, she must confront what she’s been hiding from — the deadly spirits that haunt the swamp, the dark secrets of her past, and the nascent gift she possesses. Like the nightmares that plague Hannah, Cauchemar lingers and haunts.

Review “An intense debut bolstered by a powerful sense of place.” — Globe & Mail“Grigorescu grabs readers with a sense of foreboding at the start and builds intense tension as she leads them into a haunting place where the lines between dream and reality, living and dead, blur and hypnotize.” — PublishersWeekly.com“Grigorescu applies just the right tonal touch to her macabre subject matter . . . The book is full of riveting prose about complex, fallible characters. I rushed through the final chapter impatient to see how it would all end — and the ambiguous final plot twist cries out for a sequel.” — Quill & Quire“From the very beginning, Alexandra Grigorescu’s debut novel Cauchemar pulls the reader into the haunting desperation of the southern gothic . . . What makes Cauchemar so effective — so ominous and creepy — lies in Grigorescu’s skill in setting a scene. There’s a convincing aura of melancholy and malevolence haunting Hannah’s world.” — Broken Pencil“There are books to curl up with on lazy summer afternoons: guilty pleasures and romantic page-turners. Cauchemar by Canadian writer Alexandra Grigorescu is such a book; a stolen moment of pure fantasy, elevated by the author’s mesmerizing brand of descriptive, evocative language . . .Cauchemar easily surpasses its rivals of Twilight and True Blood, due to the poetic quality of Grigorescu’s writing.” — Scene Magazine“The tone was perfect for a gothic novel and I think I’ll be delving into the genre some more.” — Lavender Lines“A paradox of horror and beauty . . . The author is also very talented in teasing the eyes, the tongue and the mind with words, describing both a beautiful and a haunting world that not many know exist.” — Svetlana’s Reads“Moody, spicy, sexy, vivid, and creepy-as-hell.” — The Book Stylist“A dark, gripping debut from a very talented writer!” — Booking It with Hayley G“Grigorescu is a literary sorceress — who has possibly hung out with the Louisiana witches, because she evoked them something strong in this book.” — Bella’s Bookshelves“It is well-written with just the right amount of suspense to keep the reader guessing what will happen to the characters until the very last page.” — The Book Binder’s Daughter“A bayou setting, a dash of supernatural intrigue, and enough music and cookery to fill anyone’s plate . . . Goes well with fresh-caught fish, gumbo, and sweet tea.” — Bibliotica“As quickly as Alexandra Grigorescu evokes the robust spices in deep south cooking, she sends shivers up your spine at the mention of something white and scaly sneaking through Hannah’s dreams . . . and into her reality.” — Editorial Eyes“Alexandra Grigorescu’s debut is a straight-up old-school Southern Gothic. True Blood wishes it was this good.” — Jeff Parker, author of Where Bears Roam the Streets“Alexandra Grigorescu works pure magic with the line, pulling proverbial rabbits from alligator hats and performing mind-bending enchantments upon every page. Like many of the spellbinding characters of Cauchemar, Grigorescu possesses a preternatural talent.” — Spencer Gordon, author of Cosmo

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. 3.5 Stars By Angel E. **Won this book through Goodreads Firstreads**Hannah comes home from buying produce at a neighbors house to find Mae (the woman who raised her) coughing and choking. Mae tells her that she tried to keep them away and then tells her to run. Hannah has no idea what Mae is talking about and she goes to get her a glass of water, but when she returns, Mae's dead.She decides she wants to continue living in the house, but first, she has to ask Christobelle (her birth mother) because she is the legal owner. On the night of Mae's funeral, Hannah meets Callum, the guy who ferried the guests from town to her house on the swamp. There's an attraction there that leads to more later on.Then Christobelle shows up. Hannah hasn't seen her real mother in a decade. Things are tense between them, but Christobelle allows her to live in the house. When Hannah goes back in, a neighbor tells her that her childhood friend, Sarah Anne, is there. Hannah is excited and cautious about seeing her old friend. Cautious because guilt had suddenly overcome her.The last time she saw Sarah Anne, they were escaping through Sarah Anne's basement window because her house was on fire. Her brother was badly burned and died a few days later in the hospital. Hannah saw him through the window, but got scared and ran home. Leaving Sarah Anne to watch as the flames tried to consume her brother.That is just a taste of what is going on in this book. I really like stories set in Louisiana, especially in New Orleans and on the bayou. There is no other place in the world that houses so many unique and colorful people. They are known for the legends they tell and Cauchemar delves into that world.I wouldn't say that the story was slow-moving; it kept a steady pace. Enough to hold my interest until something new happened. There was an eeriness to it that reminded me of The Skeleton Key.You will find a somewhat rekindled friendship that may not be as it seems, an unexpected sacrifice, and just enough of the supernatural to keep you alert. I would recommend this book, definitely if you like folklore and legends.

This book took me through such a large spectrum of feelings, anything between strong emotions as a woman and a mother, and goosebumps for not knowing what shadows and creatures will pop up when I turn the page.The author introduced the characters with well-thought timing and impact, giving the reader time to understand them and then waiting hungry for new ones coming into the story.I love Hannah for being a normal girl, yet special and elegant through her discretion and simplicity. I like Callum for his integrity as a man and a human being, and I loved his love for Hannah which reminded me of the good old movies. The book captivated me through the storyline as well as the beauty of details, the atmosphere and by igniting the mind to put pieces together: What is that creature lurking in the dark? Is this really happening?
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. the pacing perfect.. By A. Cales This book was absolutely captivating - from the eerie atmosphere to the vivid characters. The subject matter was intriguing, the pacing perfect... I have nothing but positive to say about this novel. No review of this book would be complete without mentioning just how talented the author is... when the cover states "beautifully written" it was an understatement. I'm simply blown away that this is Ms. Grigorescu's first novel! Highly, highly recommend for anyone who enjoys dark mystery.
