I received a copy of "House of Drought" ! Thanks Booksirens! Here's my honest review--
House of Drought-- in my opinion-- doesn't feel like a horror book. It's a similar take on the "House of Leaves" trope-- but kind of with a folklore backstory that sets it aside as unique. I enjoyed this and found that kind of refreshing.
However, I had a little trouble keeping up with the characters and didn't feel connected to any of them. The book switches from POV several times, and I just felt kind of confused and disconnected for most of my read.
