A review by grace_grillo
The September House by Carissa Orlando

dark emotional funny tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I listened to the audiobook and it was amazing! The narrator brought out both the humor and horror of the book. I knew this was a haunted house story prior to starting it, but it’s so much for than that. I loved the

themes of motherhood and just what Margaret would go through to keep her daughter safe. The way the story was told was great too, with the flashbacks to the past while trying to connect it to what was happening in the present.

Definitely kept me guessing! The last 2 chapters were my favorite, so brutal and had me holding my breath as the tension escalated. I really enjoyed this book, highly recommend!
