A House That's Haunted (6/11/2025)
I'm not typically into books (or does or movies) about anything paranormal, lest it's witches, but I thought this sounded interesting. I read Cackle last year, which was a witchy novel, and I liked it, but i surprisingly liked this better.

I always enjoy books with flawed characters, where the house is also a character, and when there is a focus on mental health. Childhood trauma is a real thing, you would be surprised how much it affects you later in life.

The story was creepy without being scary or terrifying. I was really interested in Clio's life, but I do wish there were more details on her sisters'. I appreciate that the story didn't end in some perfect happily ever after, but there was closure in the novel. I didn't feel as though there were a bunch of loose ends not tied up or questions that needed to be answered yet weren't.

I definitely recommend, unless you scare easily!
