House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson
3.25
I was excited for this book, and it was a fun read and very binge-able, and I liked it buuuuut I didn't love it in the end.
I didn't get why Marion was so desperate and into Lisavet - maybe if Lisavet had more of a presence, they would have had more chemistry, but even with the horror and supernatural elements, there isn't much to sink my teeth into (haha).
The atmosphere was nice and spooky, and I liked Marion as a protagonist in the beginning of the book, got tired and annoyed with her in the middle, and then liked her again (with a grain of salt) by the end.
Overall, the characters fell flat, and the reveal with the twist was kinda predictable. The setting carried this books a long way - I wish it was longer and that there was more time to explore the world and relationships.
