The House of Dead Maids by Clare B. Dunkle

3.0

This book was...fine. It was a real quick read and it was compelling enough. I would like to say that I called the Wuthering Heights thing from like, Chapter 2. However, the way it was incorporated in the end felt super clunky. Overall, fine enough. It had a spooky air and it felt like a good beginner's horror novel. The protagonist was interesting enough. The little boy's character was fine enough, but it really relied on that payoff of learning he would become Heathcliff in the end. Besides that, if you hadn't read Wuthering Heights, it just wouldn't pay off at all. If you're into Wuthering Heights, maybe check it out? It was a fine, quick read.
