Where do I start? So much happened in this book, and it was all over the place! I don't mean this in a bad way though. Mystery/Fantasy with a gothic twist, you can't go wrong with that.

The story took all kinds of turns I wasn't expecting. We have a killer, and while I thought I had it figured it out, I was second guessing myself the whole time. Close to the end of the story, something is revealed that just throws you for a loop. The story just continues to get more and more weird from there.

There are A LOT of characters in the story. Honestly, I can only name a few, and I just finished the book. It wouldn't be a bad idea to take a note of these characters names when you start if you feel this is important. I love Annaleigh. She's a mess, and rightfully so after losing so much family. Her youngest sister Verity is a doll! I was indifferent to the love interest though.

I love how the author crafted this story. It was beautiful, haunting, and captivating. I was not expecting to love House of Salt and Sorrows as much as I did, but I will be thinking about this book for a while.
