A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher
3.0

3.5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was my first T. Kingfisher's book, and I was super excited to read it! And it was great...for the last quarter of the 200 and some change book.

I found that I could barely make it through the first hundred pages, which felt dry and boring as far as plot establishment goes and when we finally got to the twist I was just ready for it to be over. The writing and characters and descriptions saved it A LOT, and there were some great creepy horror elements. But, it was ultimately disappointing. I wished there had been better lead up cause the beginning 3/4 of ths book felt so disconnected from the last quarter.
