A decent YA horror anthology. I really enjoyed the idea that each story was a room in a house. There were some absolute standouts, such as Good Morning, Georgia, Cradle and All, and After Midnight. There were no truly bad stories, but I was a bit disappointed in some of the quality of writing for a couple. Overall a good intro for young readers who are interested in horror!

An amazing thriller/horror novel that keeps you guessing until the end, in more ways than one. For starters, its unclear whether the MCs experiences/past are truly paranormal or just suspicious, and the mystery aspect had me completely shocked at the twists!
Midway through the novel I was legitimately scared, and was having a blast try to see the next move. The ending was totally satisfying and I appreciated the quality of writing.

Ill be coming back for the next book because what was that cliffhanger?! But I didn't love the characters - there was no growth and Dacre wasn't charming enough to make up for being such an asshole.
Although the premise and world interested me, the plot was wayyyy too slow to progress, and had a hard time balancing the romantic plots with the mystery plots. I just couldn't stay interested. The writing was also not that great - a better plotline would have made up for it, but the two together made it difficult. I didn't enjoy how repetitive the writing tended to be, and the characters were fairly stagnant throughout.

While I enjoyed the book overall, I didn't love Oaks POV (I much preferred Suren's) and I found there was a bit too much repetition.

I loved seeing Suren's story expanded - I find her such an interesting and complex character. I do also like Oak, but he's less enticing to dig into for me. The romance is sweet but not quite up to the Cruel Prince. Definitely interested to see how I feel about Oak after I read The Prisoner's Throne!

Such a fun addition to the folk of the air series - I love a dual POV, so to get Cardans perspective and background was so satisfying.

Reading this was like visiting my teenage friends and self again. I was a huge fan of Black's Tithe series and so far this series has so much of what I loved about those. Jude is exactly my kind of female lead and I can't wait to see where her story goes.
