House of Salt and Sorrows (Sisters of the Salt, #1)

Erin A. Craig

In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed. Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor, a manor by the sea, with her sisters, their father, and stepmother. Once they were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last—the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge—and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods. Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that the deaths were no accidents. Her sisters have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who—or what—are they really dancing with? When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family—before it claims her next.

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

This was grand, but i wasn't particularly interested in the story for most of the book. Especially with how similar it was to the first book it kind of just felt like a copy paste with slightly different names

The Kind Worth Saving (Henry Kimball/Lily Kintner, #2)

Peter Swanson

In this spectacularly devious novel by New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson—featuring the smart and complex Lily Kintner from his acclaimed novel, The Kind Worth Killing—a private eye starts to follow a possibly adulterous husband, but little does he know that the twisted trail will lead back to the woman who hired him. There was always something slightly dangerous about Joan. So, when she turns up at private investigator Henry Kimball’s office asking him to investigate her husband, he can’t help feeling ill at ease. Just the sight of her stirs up a chilling memory: he knew Joan in his previous life as a high school English teacher, when he was at the center of a tragedy. Now Joan needs his help in proving that her husband is cheating. But what should be a simple case of infidelity becomes much more complicated when Kimball finds two bodies in an uninhabited suburban home with a “for sale” sign out front. Suddenly it feels like the past is repeating itself, and Henry must go back to one of the worst days of his life to uncover the truth. Is it possible that Joan knows something about that day, something she’s hidden all these years? Could there still be a killer out there, someone who believes they have gotten away with murder? Henry is determined to find out, but as he steps closer to the truth, a murderer is getting closer to him, and in this hair-raising game of cat and mouse only one of them will survive.

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

A young family moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor, #1)

Mark Lawrence

The international bestselling author of the Broken Empire and the Red Queen's War trilogies begins a stunning epic fantasy series about a secretive order of holy warriors... At the Convent of Sweet Mercy, young girls are raised to be killers. In some few children the old bloods show, gifting rare talents that can be honed to deadly or mystic effect. But even the mistresses of sword and shadow don't truly understand what they have purchased when Nona Grey is brought to their halls. A bloodstained child of nine falsely accused of murder, guilty of worse, Nona is stolen from the shadow of the noose. It takes ten years to educate a Red Sister in the ways of blade and fist, but under Abbess Glass's care there is much more to learn than the arts of death. Among her class Nona finds a new family—and new enemies. Despite the security and isolation of the convent, Nona's secret and violent past finds her out, drawing with it the tangled politics of a crumbling empire. Her arrival sparks old feuds to life, igniting vicious struggles within the church and even drawing the eye of the emperor himself. Beneath a dying sun, Nona Grey must master her inner demons, then loose them on those who stand in her way.

7 Deadly Sin Book Choices

I just saw someone do this on instagram and thought it would be so much fun for PB!

Share with us your 7 Deadly Sin book choices:

Lust (or books you picked up just because of the cover)
Pride (or difficult book you’ve read)
Gluttony (or books you’ve read more than once)
Sloth (or the book that’s been on your TBR the longest)
Greed (or books you’ve read own multiple copies of)
Wrath (or books that you despise)
Envy (or books you want to live in)

I’ll go first. Mine are:

Lust - sadly, I do this a lot 🫣 I love to judge a book by its cover…Heart the Lover, When I Open the Shop, Tom Lake, How to Loiter in a Turf War to name just a few
Pride - The Beguilled was a tough read. So was The Tin Drum. I also loved One Hundred Years of Solitude but found it a challenging read.
Gluttony - haven’t done much rereading since I was a child so probably Alanna: The First Adventure would be my most reread
Sloth - The Count of Monte Cristo has been on the list since forever
Greed - I don’t have more than one copy of any book! I just don’t know why you’d need/want that 😂😂
Wrath - I thought Rodham was such a creepy book to have written about real and still alive people. Especially, putting words and thoughts into Hilary’s mouth about such sexualised moments and passing the whole thing off as supportive of her and feminist in general? I felt yucky reading it.
Envy - probably any cosy magical place…Emily Wilde’s academic magic adventures seem like a bit of me 😊
