And it’s not even just that the house is haunted, but that it feels very alive and capable of malice all on its own. When they ended up leaving Coldthistle House for the second book, I was so sad because I just loved how it was threaded through everyone’s lives while there.
It was one of the first things I fell in love with–the first being Louisa, the MC, because who doesn’t love a done and over with all your bullshit character–and it continued to be something that held my attention throughout the trilogy.
I just love spooky houses? Paranormal Activity gets me so bad because it’s in a house, and look, I definitely blame every single weird noise on my cats, which means I’ll have to have cats forever because apparently houses scare the bejeezus out of me.Īnd whew, Coldthistle House is CREEPY. I bought Mexican Gothic almost entirely because it sounds like the house is haunted or something of that vein. I don’t know what it is, but it happened again recently, I saw something similar to Coldthistle House in a summary last month, and I was like YES THANKS. Pair that with the possibility of a scary manor in the middle of the British countryside, and well. I kept feeling drawn to House of Furies purely based on the cover because it just looked spooky as all hell, and I couldn’t get the image of this girl in all white with hands grabbing her from all around out of my mind. Gosh, where do I even start? With the covers, obviously. Thankfully, I remember them with crystal clear clarity because they’re just that good, so let’s get on with the convincing you to read these as soon as possible!Īlso, there are not going to be huge spoilers in this review, but I will talk about some of the plot in the later books, so if you want to go into this completely blind, you’ve been warned! I really wanted to reread them before reviewing, but alas, rereading books is easier said than done these days, and I just didn’t have the time to reread. I read the finale of the trilogy last year for Halloween, and it’s just truly one of my favorite series, horror or otherwise. When I was trying to come up with Halloween posts for this year, reviewing the House of Furies trilogy by Madeleine Roux was the first thing that I thought of.
