Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
5.0
dark emotional mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I'd auto-buy Harrow's to-do list if she published it. 

I absolutely loved this story (hence the 5 ⭐ rating) and was instantly drawn in with the most beautiful prose, vivid descriptions, and eerie storytelling. The characters are raw, emotional, loveable and punchable, and believable, from the breathing to the not-so breathing. I'm not a fan of horror, so I appreciate the spooky and creepy vibes that the story holds; I can see what fans of horror might be missing with this, but it hit just the right spot for me. 

Harrow is auto-buy and auto-love every time.
