SWOONING FOR ALL THINGS BOOKISH.
The Bone Orchard by Sara A. Mueller
I loved the unique concept created in The Bone Orchard. Dark, full of political machinations and necromancy, Muellerโs debut is filled visually with decadent descriptions and intrigue.
A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw
A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw does not disappoint when it comes to an eerie atmosphere and a building mystery. A History of Wild Places is the authorโs first adult book, and I felt Ernshaw overall did a good job transitioning out from YA.
The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling
The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling is a gothic fantasy horror that reads like a feverish dream, with a dripping atmosphere and dark tones. Thereโs romance, magic, gore, and an unsettling feeling that builds until you turn the last page.
Book Review: All the Murmuring Bones by A.G. Slatter
ALL THE MURMURING BONES is an alluring gothic fairy tale. The story weaves together family secrets and lies, broken bargains, dangerous plots and adventures, all surrounded by the mystery of the O'Malleyโs power granted by blood and salt.
