๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฅ๐: The September House by Carissa Orlando
๐๐๐ง๐ซ๐: Thriller/Suspense
๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐: September 5, 2023
Victorian Home
Haunted House
Witty Dark Humor
You know that episode of SpongeBob where the Flying Dutchman wrecked his ship and moved in with SpongeBob until the ship is fixed, getting his kicks by scaring SpongeBob until he wasn't afraid of the him anymore? That's this book ๐๐คฃ
I listened to The September House as an audiobook and I loved the narrator. It feels like your grandma telling you a scary story. I enjoyed the use of flashbacks, giving us the story of how our FMC ended up in the gorgeous *VERY HAUNTED* home.
Unfortunately, though there's story began strong, the pacing was a bit slow overall. I REALLY dislike the multiple uses of Christ's name in vain. I understand it's not an issue for others but like.... there's so many other curse words you could use to convey the same frustration.
โ ๏ธ: mild horror elements, semi-frequent use of foul language, multiple uses of Christ's name in vain, emetophobia
