The September House by Carissa Orlando
dark
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
For fans of American Horror Story: Murder House, but a lot less horny.
I loved Margaret's nonchalance about the hauntings (which I feel is tied to a psychological aspect - you'll find out more about her lore) and I loved all the ghosts.
The first 80% was a bit slow and had a lot of flashbacks but I think the pay-off was worth it.
Didn't think I'd give this a 5 but I just loved that ending so much and I'm a sucker for a good, old haunted house story.
