My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my free digital ARC of this one!

I read An Unkindness of Ghosts last year and LOVED it, and while Model Home didn't quiiiite live up, it still had immaculately unsettling vibes, excellent characters, and had me on the edge of my seat. I loved that Solomon managed to make a new-build million-dollar mansion terrifying. Dilapidated haunted house? Overdone. 6-bedroom mcmansions with brand new appliances and shiny floors? Plus Dark Mother? Glorious. 

I was initially a bit disappointed that the story took a different direction that I was anticipating, but after ruminating on it for a while, I decided actually I love it. Solomon explores a new brand of predatory characters not often seen in fiction. They meld real life horrors like racism with your classic haunted house vibe, making this an almost perfect scary season read.

Dark and unique, take care while reading!
