Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the eARC of House of Glass!  All opinions are my own.

I have been a fan of Sarah Pekkanen for a long time so I had high hopes for House of Glass and it definitely delivered!  Pekkanen expertly creates a creepy atmosphere with a child in the center of it.  My only complaint is that I don't think the narrator's dive into her own story was necessary.  I understand it helped set up her relationship with Rose, but I don't think the book needed her own realizations about what happened to her mom.  That being said, overall, I really liked this thriller and it is perfect for the fall season!
