Customer Reviews
Dark, Haunting & Chilling
The Bone House is a dark, supernatural and twisted psychological thriller. This is my second book by Caroline Mitchell, and I devoured it! This author is on my favourite authors list for two reasons; her ability to infuse psychological thriller with supernatural elements is well-executed, and the plot's pacing is immaculate! Slayton is a mysterious town immersed with darkness and sinking secrets, and when they come to the surface, unrest and chaos ensue. A murder of crows fall from the skies, an ominous foreboding of a cold case coming back to life. Sarah Noble is a great character who strives to uncover the truth while fiercely protecting the ones she loves. Her relationship with Elliot, her best friend's boy, is touching, and her interactions with her best friends reveal her personable style. A few developments caused my eyes to widen, but they complemented the series' progress. While I could narrow down the accused of the unspeakable horrors, the ending was well executed. Personally, the epilogue wasn't required, but it was a welcomed puzzle piece. I can't wait for the next book! Please note this book isn't everyone's cup of tea because of some severe trigger warnings (infant death, torture, neglect, suspected possession and murder). Proceed with caution. Thank you, NetGalley & Embla Books, for giving me an ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.
