My Darling Dreadful Thing: A Novel by Johanna van Veen
4.5
“I was never a happy child. I think that, if I had been, things would have gone very differently with me. For one, I don’t think Ruth would have become my constant companion. Spirits like her are not drawn to the happy and carefree; they want salt, be it blood or be it tears.”
My Darling Dreadful Thing
by Johanna van Veen
Thank you @PoisonedPenPress and NetGalley for my copy of #MyDarlingDreadfulThing . This has climbed to one of my favourite books of the year, yes I know it’s only April.
This is the authors debut novel, and this gothic love letter was beautifully disturbing. It’s given to us in two POVs, the main character Roos and the doctors interviews.
Roos and her spirit companion help her mother make money by performing seances, until she is whisked away by a beautiful widow who has more in common with Roos than she could have expected.
This is defiantly a book for gothic fans to keep an eye ont for and pick up when it comes out May 14th.

This is my second book by McFadden and she is truly starting to grow on me. Do I like her characters? For the most part no. I’m not even a huge fan of part of the story, but what she does with the climax is where it gets me every time. I will definitely continue reading her books. This one was a quick read, where you truly don’t know who did what.
