She Is a Haunting by Trang Thanh Tran
4.0

Received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
Jade, our main character is faced with problems that only she can see. Her estranged father needs help and who is she to say no when there's something in it for her? She doesn't fit into the traditional ways they're stuck in and has always felt out of place wherever she goes.

But at night the house takes her into the deepest, darkest parts of its past. This gothic horror beautifully encapsulates the horrors of french colonialism and the struggles she faces just being who she is. It's the way generational trauma can manifest and set our worst nightmares alive.

Gorgeous spooky vibes that have you questioning reality at every turn. This book is so important because it's not just about the horror, it's about the poetry lying in between our author's words.
