All the Dead Lie Down by Kyrie McCauley

2.75

dark mysterious medium-paced

---

hmmm i've honestly read a lot of books similar to this before and i've read this concept in a better written format, but it's still good. mostly because of the atmosphere, some parts of the plot, and just the vibes yknow. nice gothic elements. my biggest issue was the pacing, because the awkward pacing made the beginning and the ending much better than the middle part of the novel. the romance didn't quite impact me but it is refreshing that there's lgbt+ representation there. i also thought it was sweet of the author to reference shirley jackson's hill house, one of my all time favourites.
