The Good House was very entertaining! The setting added significant depth and ambience to the overall narrative. I was particularly drawn to Angela's character and appreciated watching her evolution throughout the story, especially as she grappled with her grief. My feelings about Corey were a bit mixed. I found him to be annoying at times. The ending delivered a twist that initially surprised me, but ultimately left me feeling satisfied. So far I’ve enjoyed Due’s books and hope to continue reading more of her work!

Overall a really good book and great read, but I find the ending lackluster. Wish it ended as dark as it was throught the whole book.

I hate when books do the whole but then history rewrote itself. I find it annoying and like as if the whole story didn't matter. Arg, this is why it's a 4 star and not a 5.

This book should be as popular as It and The Shining. It should have 2 movie adaptations and a critically acclaimed mini series. We should all be talking about who’s going to be in the upcoming remake.
I love the characters! Angie and Marie are the most complex, with a lovable cast beside. I loved the Vodou in this, and in particular the light touches of Christianity but refusal to drop Legba and the others even at the story’s resolution. It’s a story about family, about a mother and her son and grandmother, and everyone before them, so that means embracing their most authentic spiritual practice as well, chicken bones and all.
