Reviews for A House of Bells

[Emily Stephens · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is deliciously chilling, satisfyingly concluded, and marvelously structured. The author sets up a terrifying pace with wonderfully spooky settings and imagery. I thought the setting of 1918 added a chaotic layer to the narrative in which no character is unaffected by. Wonderful!

It kept me interested and the details left little tobrhe imagination.

This book…where do I start? The main character grows so much during this story, it’s just a sweeping, magical tale with just enough scariness to be Gothic. I loved it.
