Title: A House of good bones
Author: T. Kingfisher
Rating: 3.5/5


This book was a lot of fun to read and extremly well written. It's classified as horror, but it really isn't too scary and I think perfect for beginners/ non horror readers who want to tap into horror.

I loved MC Sam a lot. She is hilariously funny and I quoted so many of her lines. Her bond with her mom is very sweet. Tho there were sadly not that many daughter- mom moments. Also amazing fat representation in a horror novel. How often do we have a fat MC in horror???!!!

The plot dragged a bit in the middle part and I was a bit disappointed that I completely was able to guess the entire plot asap as a tiny bit of info was revealed.

Ending 
SpoilerPersonally, didn't like the ending too much. I loved when everything went down with grandma like woow omg!!!  but the Underground children fight was boring and anticlimactic.
