I don't mind spooky but gore is definitely not my thing. That's a shame about The Widow's House. The premise sounds good, but the whole overdone, over-the-top style would be a turnoff for me as well.

Bummer that The Widow House didn't work out! It does get annoying when authors just throw in all of the cliches and seem to think that makes it good. I read The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman and (I think?) I enjoyed it, so I'd been curious about some of her other work. Great reviews!Jordan @ForeverLostinLiteraturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231807884697678173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-71119679594475890212018-10-26T09:28:12.729-04:002018-10-26T09:28:12.729-04:00I love spooky books!
