The Good House by Tananarive Due
4.0
Wow wow wow!
I’m so happy to have been recommended this backlist book to read, as it was like no other I have read before.
Angela, lost her 16yo son Corey, two years ago in her Grandmeres house where she grew up. She is now summoned back to return to make the decision if she should sell the house.
She and her famous client/friend return and strange things begin to happen. Her friend loses her dog and is now convinced the house is not a good house at all.
The story is mostly told from the present pov, but it’s intertwined with what happened in the few weeks of Corey’s death also. Plus Grand Marie’s voice is heard also as she speaks of vodou and evil and good spirits.
I would have given this book 5 stars, however the first part was so long and it dragged. It could have been at least 200 pages shorter.
Read this if you love paranormal stories, voodoo, magic, suspense, death and spirits.
*Note: they did have a reference to a “red sauce” and they called it Gumbo. Please know that is NOT an authentic Gumbo! If you want to know what an authentic Cajun/Creole Gumbo is…please ask me (my family was one of the first French Acadians to settle in south Louisiana) or someone else who is Acadian*
