A review by mariahaskins
The Drowning House by Cherie Priest

5.0

A chilling, suspense-filled horror novel that tightens its grip with every chapter. Priest starts the story with a bang, or rather a storm, a death, a disappearance, and the appearance of a house on the beach, and from that point on, we just go deeper into darkness and mystery. I loved how past and present are woven together here as the lives of three friends - childhood and adulthood - are tied together with the mysteries of an old house, old magic, and terrible deeds.
