Play Nice
by Rachel Harrison
Playing Nice is Definitely Not the Theme of the Book! (4/30/2025)
I requested a review copy through BookBrowse, as the plot synopsis sounded interesting to me. As always, I will avoid simple plot summaries and let you know what I liked and what I didn't.

First, this isn't my first Rachel Harrison book, so I knew that the fantastical would be blended with the mundane. A reader has to be prepared for a roller coaster through the supernatural to enjoy this book.

What I liked: the dissolution of Clio as she encountered the house and what was lurking inside; the story within a story; Clio's isolation as she dealt with the things no one else in her family wanted to remember.

What I disliked: the ending made me lose all respect for the family; the book ran long at times, especially during interactions with Clio's family and the story within a story.

Overall, a solid 4 out of 5.
