Loved this. Has some unexpected bits that kept me guessing and leaves me wanting a sequel. Would love to see what happens next to Josephine and her family!

Thank you for this opportunity. This was a very twisty very dark book. It says on the blurb it is like house of salt and sorrows which I find incorrect. There is no whimsy or sweeps gothic horror to this book. This was straight up insidiously horror. No whimsy. For a ya horror book this packed a punch. Loved it

4.25/5 stars! The cover of this book was super creepy, which made me extremely excited to read it. This is a YA horror story that hits all the right notes. The storyline itself was edgy and kept me guessing, which is what I want in my horror books. The only part I didn't really enjoy was the use of third-person. It didn't seem to match the tone of the story as well as I think first-person would have.

House of Ash and Bone was definitely a creepy and graphic horror story I was not expecting. The characters definitely read as young adult's and even the story was pretty YA but some of the descriptions and scenes were graphic and definitely felt like something out of a horror movie... I loved it! I also definitely got Conjuring vibes from this book. The creepy house in Vermont with the twisted witch history, the main character having psychological powers... Definitely Conjuring vibes, and the author delivered them well! The world building and the creepy settings were awesome as were the horror parts but as for the characters themselves I didn't love any of them which took away from the story a bit for me. Josephine was a pretty cool character as she tries to figure out all the insane stuff happening around her and to her family. Overall I think horror fans are going to love House of Ash and Bone!

The book was interesting and kept me guessing. The author using third person threw me off, but that’s just me having a preference for first person. It made me feel disconnected from the characters. I like the mystery involved and the articulation of the storyline and plot. Would recommend to a young YA audience!

I enjoyed this story of a family fallen victim to a witch named Dorcas. I liked the interaction between the sisters and there were definitely some creepy moments. This is a good book for a younger horror fan.
