This book tore me UP.
I’ve never seen this play on a haunted house. I’ve never read a book that revealed parts of my childhood. I thought I was alone. I facetimed my sister as soon as I finished the book. She answered and I just burst out crying.
Both of us always say, no matter the dream, the location is always our childhood home or our grandmother’s home. No matter what. It’s taken lots of time to understand why. We always talk about it like a haunting and it’s because it is.
As I’ve said in another post. This book takes “what happens in this house stays in this house even at the detriment to the children and their sanity” and personifies it.
It’s heartbreaking and so moving. I finished and I was so deeply proud of Ezri, Eve, and Emmanuelle and even Elijah. Everybody’s doing their best and that’s not a small thing.

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS BOOK?!
Ugh, talk about absolutely freaking ripping my heart out. I loved the complexities of the characters and the ways they felt so real. My heart aches for Addie and Henry, and, in many ways, even for Luc. The way Schwab captures humanity in these characters is breathtaking, and I am so honored to have read their story. I get the hype on this book now, and it is totally worth it.
I don’t tend to be a fantasy reader in the traditional sense, but I found this book to be extremely accessible and was gripped (slow reading speed not to be considered an indicator 😅😂).

I am interested to know what reading habits you have that cause mental conflict for you. Personally I do not want to read series. I'm immediately turned off by a book if it says Book 1. I have read books from series, (twice by accident). Infact, I don't know when this started because as a kid and teen I loved and devoured series. But now I kind of think if you can't resolve your conflict in one book, you're dragging it out. I think part of me also feels it's a way of tricking me into reading a 2,000 page book. Or maybe a money grab like a TV show that just won't end. (I do enjoy books that stand alone in the same world) But some books I really really enjoyed were book 1 in a series- 5th Season, Ancillary Justice, Dune.
Anyways, is this something wrong with me? If so, what ideas/wisdom can give me a mind shift about it? Also, what's "wrong" with you??
