pickThis book was the perfect atmospheric, creepy read for the spooky season.This was one of those horror/thriller reads where you get goosebumps if you read it in the dark as I like to do with such books. I was all in until the very last page and found the unhingedness and the reveals along with the conclusion to be make it all a very satisfying, horror/thriller read.Disturbing, sinister, psychological thriller/horror writing at its finest. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“His face had transformed into another megawatt smile, and once again, Hendricks felt like the funniest, most charming person in the room.
“Dangerous, she thought. The ones who made you feel like the only person in the room were the ones you really had to watch out for.”
panNot for me. Good creepy feel to it but it dragged and the twist was meh.
pickI REALLY enjoyed this one!!! Plus loved all the late 60s and 70s references. Who knew what a Bigelow was? It‘s a carpet- I had never heard of a Bigelow before, but I‘m definitely old enough to know what an Instamatic is! This book was sufficiently creepy in a Southern Gothic way. Loved it! #Georgia Pub date: 1978
pickFrom the get go, there was nothing likable about this FMC or MMC but there was something intriguing about that creepy house giving off the vibes of Edgar Allen Poe‘s ravens 🐦⬛.

so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️the house and ravens were the best characters in the books. Atmosphere and creepy elements are abundant. However it‘s hard to care about these awful people. I also wished we had more information on the house itself.
pickWow this was good! Our main character, Ronnie, is grieving and isolating herself from the world - what better place to do it than a haunted house 👻 😲😱! There were some legitimately unsettling parts and I absolutely LOVED the ending! I will say there weren‘t really any big twists that typically seem to be in these sorts of stories but I didn‘t honestly care. Solid spooky story! 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
so-soIn the vein of “Hill House”, the home slowly driving them mad.
MC ‘falls‘ off a cliff to wake up from her coma and her husband has moved them to a fixer upper in the country.
pickCherie Priest creates a great mystery/horror novel in 'It Was Her House First.' Dark and atmospheric, the novel was fun to read. It included diary entries from one of the entities in the house, and input from the main character Ronnie, and the ghost of a former detective. Cherie Priest is an auto-read for me and this book was no exception. 5 stars.
Thank you, NetGalley!
