The Quiet Stillness of Empty Houses
by L.V. Russell
dark
emotional
sad
medium-paced
Thank you NetGalley and Quill and Crow Publishing House for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book had a dull and slow start, but it became very atmospheric which was nice. The story did pick up a bit, and you couldn't help but become attached to the characters. I liked the spooky moments and wish that there were way more of them. The romantic aspects didn't really work for me. I found the plot lackluster; I kept waiting for something to happen, for there to be a crescendo, but what came was a bit anticlimactic. There needed to be more purpose to the actual story itself for this book to work.
