she_ena 's review for:

The September House by Carissa Orlando
5.0
dark funny tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Premise: Older lady buys haunted dream home and talks us through her Stockholm syndrome.

A truly singular book. I've never read anything quite like it, and the audiobook narrator does an excellent job. The author draws smart parallels between abusive relationships and being in love with your "perfect" house. Pretty funny. Somewhat gory. Lots of swearing.
