I actually took a leap of faith on <b>The September House</b>. I usually read SFF. Though ghost stories do fall under some sort of Speculative Fantasy as Paranormal, I don't normally read ghost stories.
I actually tried it, because I seen it pop out at me at the library right after I seen a popular Booktuber with it.
The first 100 or so pages of this book was <b>amazing</b>! The rest of the book dragged so much.
This book has some humor with it for sure. Most of this humor is in the first third of the novel.
⅔ of this book absolutely dragged!!
I was satisfied with the resolution of the last 10 pages or so.
The author did very well with surprising the reader and with evoking suspense. I just thing she dragged that suspense out much too long. The payoff was corny and also dragged out.
I love the quirky font of the parentheses and exclamation points.
