I love gothic horror. I’m not a huge blood and guts fan, but I love the uncomfortable uneasiness that comes with gothic horror. There’s also the element of suspense that usually comes into play that also keeps me engaged.

As Sam steps through the doors of her mother’s home, she keeps hearing her brothers words “mom seems off” in her mind. Nonetheless Sam is excited for her extended visit. She can’t wait to enjoy some boxed wine while watching murder mysteries. But the moment she steps through the door, things just feel off. Her mom is jumpy and seems to think something is watching her. One day, Sam ventures to the backyard and finds a jar of teeth beneath her deceased grandmothers prized rose bushes Sam starts to wonder what is going on. As Sam keeps digging, will she realize that some secrets are better off left buried?

I love a good gothic horror and this one delivered! I have read one other T. Kingfisher book (What Moves the Dead) and have loved them both! They are exactly what I look for in a horror book, lots of suspense and lots of dark, twisty details. This book was so fun! I absolutely loved the ending of this one – just wow! This book kept me engaged throughout and I was rewarded with the delightful ending. I loved all the characters and I really enjoyed the blurbs before the chapters – it was fun to see how they played into the upcoming chapters. I can’t say enough good things about this one. If you love gothic horror, then you will love this one.

T. Kingfisher is now an auto-buy author for me. Check out this book March 28th!
