House Of Salt And Sorrows (Sisters of the Salt)

Product Information

Verity is more than intrigued. This sounds like exactly the kind of opportunity she needs and the son, Alexander, is a young man just her age. This could be just what she needs, but how will she ever convince Camille to let her go?

Emily Lawrence was an excellent narrator, and she had her work cut out for her voicing the many Thaumas girls as well as a smattering of other characters. I think she did a great job of making the sisters feel distinct from each other - something which may not have come across quite as well in the print version. Once there, she's entranced and impressed with her new surroundings. Bloem is stunning. The Duke is a celebrated botanist and the entire estate is replete with vibrant gardens and active greenhouses. I always keen on claustrophobic small town mysteries: people get trapped in the place, harsh winter comes out as the monsters start lurking around the woods. They cannot get out to provide more food and medical supplies, craving from hunger, cold, exhaustion and madness slowly takes out the direction of the place: neighbors become enemies, delusions take over control! Even your own sibling can turn into a real threat! Special thanks to NetGalley and Random House Children’s / Delacorte Press for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts. Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last—the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge—and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.Ellerie lives in the small, secluded village of Amity Falls. The village is surrounded by forest, and when an unknown calamity befalls their supply party, the townspeople find themselves even more isolated from the outside world. There are terrifying beasts prowling the woods, but the worst monsters are the ones who live just doors away. Dark times have come to Amity Falls, and mysterious occurrences turn the townspeople against each other. This book begs the question of just who you’ll trust, and how far you’ll go, to protected your loved ones when help isn’t coming. Craig is a fantastic writer and this book proves that. In terms of her three novels, I think this one is the best written, although it is my second favorite, the first being her 2021 release, Small Favors. She also sets a perfect tone for the atmospheric spooky and gothic vibes she continues to strive for in all of her releases. It's creepy, yet so aesthetically pleasing I felt as if I were there myself! (P.S. I would also kill for this to be a movie... The set would be fantastic) I loved the setting, which was loosely based on colonial (?) America, although no specific time period or region was referenced. I love to crochet and my grandpa has bees, so all of those aspects were very relatable, sweet, and fun. I especially enjoyed the bee content.

Annaleigh becomes certain, after hunting for clues on the islands, that her sister Eulalie was murdered. Thus, when she finds out her sister Verity is seeing apparitions of the dead Thaumas girls, she wonders if they are haunting the family because their deaths were not an accident.

As the sisters battle it out, the truth about why Camille wants to keep Verity at Highmoor is revealed, leaving Verity more confused than ever and more determined. Unfortunately this was just not it. Verity was SO stupid I couldn’t take it. I don’t know why she needed so many times to be presented with evidence before she finally came to grips with what was happening but her naivety was too much.
