It Will Just Be Us by Jo Kaplan
4.0
This is a unique, gothic horror story that reaches a shocking conclusion.
At first, the book is a bit slow in the build up of characters and history of the haunted house at the center of the tale. But within the blink of an eye, it is page-turning suspense and intrigue.
The story itself centers around sisters who come back to the haunted mansion of their childhood, to live with their mother while awaiting the birth of the eldest sister’s baby. While all the women of the house seem to be attuned to the supernatural occurrences, they each respond differently.
The way the house shows the past, present and future is a clever idea for the story and interesting how the author weaves the characters from different time periods together in this magical place. I enjoyed the story and the ending is a complete surprise. One that’s worth waiting for!
If you want a haunted ghost story, this book is for you!
