A review by howlinglibraries
The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich

3.0

 This had some great horror elements, and I liked the writing for the most part (Kaitlyn did come off as extremely pretentious sometimes, but honestly, so did I at that age lol), but I have very mixed feelings about some parts of it. I'd say this was a 3.5 star read for me, but I have to round down to 3 because I found the big twist really predictable and the characters felt flat and one-dimensional for the most part.

All of that aside, I had fun reading this and I'm very excited to read Dawn's newer books! I have a strong feeling those will be more suited to me and I'm glad I picked this one up.

Buddy read with the wonderful Sam and Ashley! 🥰

Representation: Kaitlyn/Carly has DID (inspired by the author's family member but I can't speak to the quality of the representation), implications of a queer main character
