House Of Salt And Sorrows (Sisters of the Salt)

Product Information

Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who—or what—are they really dancing with? For romance lovers, there were some sweet moments I enjoyed and rooted for, but the ending spoiled it a little bit for me.

This book is an amazing mashup of "The Island of Dr. Moreau," "The Haunting of Hill House," several Toro movies including "Crimson Peak" and "Pan's Labyrinth."

I know, delicious, right!? Plus, Craig's writing continues to impress. It's lush, detailed and DARK. This entire story has such a vibe; the location, the atmosphere, it got into my bones. EAC is a master when it comes to developing a world shrouded in the dark and the mysterious. this isnt a story that will give you nightmares, but its definitely one that will have you wary of the things that hide in the shadows. this story pulls inspiration from ‘the island of dr. moreau’ and ‘the haunting of hill house’ and creates the perfect blend of scary sci-fi and creepy gothic paranormal. are we supposed to care for sam lol? Because i couldnt have cared less - the author never established any sort of connection Sam and Ellerie were supposed to have as twins - so anything Sam did didnt make me feel any type of way- their relationship was literally never developed at all - the author really said tell, dont show 😶 When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family—before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with...

this book was the perfect read for spooky season. erin craig is a master when it comes to creating a world shrouded in the dark and the mysteries. this book is dark, gothic, and haunting. this isn't a story that will give you nightmares, but will definitely make you wary of what hides in the shadows. the book was a blur of Ellerie and her bees, Ellerie and love interest, Ellerie making food and going to town meetings- LIKE DO SOMETHING 😤

Though, at the end of the day, this was an excellently done, provocative, subtly terrifying tale, and I will definitely be looking out for more from Erin Craig.

I'm not going to explain in too much detail because I want everyone to start this book with little information going in. Stay tuned to get more updates on the age rating of all movies, tv shows, books, and games. Finally, any suggestions are always welcomed. i loved the descriptions of bloem, it was beautiful. in my opinion, i loved getting to see the different traditions in bloem, that were so very different from salann, or highmoor. i loved the speaking flower part, which also made the ending seem so freaking better su_table responsive=”yes”] This is a book with so many adult scenes that is not suitable for children.This one was definitely similar to House of Salt and Sorrows in that it has some fantastical elements and darker storylines included. I also found the writing style to be very consistent between the two books. The writing was immersive and really added to the atmosphere of the story. the fact that im actually angry i wasted my time reading this - DUDE IT TOOK LIKE A WEEK TO READ IT WAS SO BORING AND HARD TO GET THROUGH When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family--before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with... Ellerie and her sisters are so adorable, easy to relate and it was quite fun to read their genuine, loyal relations. Their sisterhood bond reminded me of March Sisters. They get through the tough times together, supporting each other! The mystery was good. The twists were good. The spooks were good. The magic and worldbuilding were good. The characters were interesting. It was one of my most anticipated reads of the year as I love Craig's other two books, but this being Young Adult I can't recommend it for that age group.
