The Quiet Stillness of Empty Houses by L.V. Russell
4.0
I absolutely love a gothic novel and this one checked all the boxes. I don’t like romance usually but when it involves things that go bump in the night, sign me up.
I thought all the characters in this book were intriguing and had depth. Some of the lines of this story were so beautifully and eloquently written it was like reading poetry. While about half way through I did pick up on what the twist was, it was still executed in an interesting way. But I don’t read gothic for the shock value. I read it for the poise, the haunting, the heart and this novel delivered on all of that.
