Thank you to T. Kingfisher, Macmillan-Tor/Forge, Tor Nightfire, and Netgalley for an advanced reader copy of "A House With Good Bones" for an honest review.

I fell in love with T. Kingfisher recently reading "What Moves The Dead" for an end-of-2023 Challenge Read and was so moved I had to snap up the forthcoming arcs for her books being published this year. It was a perfect move on my part, following that intuition and drive off the most recent read as I devoured this new novella in the space of a little less than two days.

I loved the spiral twists and turns. I loved our unapologetic heroine being proud of being fat, being drawn to a life not focused on marriage/children, and being fiercely complete as she was, following her truth. I loved the reflection on down-home Southern values, the good and the bad in them. I loved the decidedly creepy slow lead-up with the house, the roses, the grandmother, the "Witch" down the road, and the "underground" children.

I don't want to give any spoilers, but I definitely advise reading it!
