Starling House by Alix E. HarrowMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow is a Southern Gothic, "haunted" house novel. Dark, mysterious, a little scary, but also funny. There are epistolary elements which immediately bumps it up for me. There is a lot happening in this book and yet it never feels overwhelming or difficult to keep all the pieces straight. Some really good surprises. Ultimately, it is a good reminder that we shouldn't try to bury the sins of our past as that will just backfire. Also, and this won't come as a shock, racists and misogynists suck.
Bonus points for the hellcat. I have met that cat in more than one place in the world. Always befriend the hellcat.
