rep: vietnamese m/c, bisexual m/c, f/f romance
She Is a Haunting is an gothic novel about a haunted house in Đà Lat, Vietnam. A house that has a turbulent history steeped in colonialism and racism. Jade and her sister are spending the summer with her father in this house. Initially intrigued by her family's history with the house, she's soon drawn into a dark and grotesque history of its inhabitants. The house is hungry, loud and lonely. Jade is a compelling character filled with rage, and has a particularly complex relationship with her sister and her father which was interesting to read. The romance was enjoyable but very much took a backseat to the haunted house. The reason it is getting 3 stars is that is that it sort of lost my attention in the middle section but did end on really high note. Highly recommend for horror fans.
