The House at Midnight
The House at Midnight | Lucie Whitehouse
6 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
When Lucas inherits Stoneborough Manor after his uncle's unexpected death, he imagines it as a place where he and his close circle of friends can spend time away from London. But from the beginning, the house changes everything. Lucas becomes haunted by the death of his uncle and obsessed by cine films of him and his friends at Stoneborough thirty years earlier. The group is disturbingly similar to their own, and within the claustrophobic confines of the house over a hot, decadent summer, secrets escape from the past and sexual tensions escalate, shattering friendships and changing lives irrevocably.

I am calling this month a #bookspin success story because I just finished my #doublespin book, @TheAromaofBooks . This novel, about a group of tight knit post-college friends and the manor house that tears them apart, has all the things: creepiness, jealousy, betrayal, friendship. It was so good, I couldn‘t put it down. #covid19readathon

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Great work!!! 4y

Mehso-so

This was ok. I started reading it like a month ago and then forgot about it, which I guess is never a good sign.

I am also not a fan of New Year's Eve. "You can take too many long, hard looks at yourself."

I have the house to myself so this seems like a good idea...

Lazy, lazy, lazy. I think someone was trying to follow a prescribed recipe in how to write a Donna Tartt-esque novel, and instead of adding their own bit of flair...and a plot...a stale cookie cutter shadow was produced. I actually can't formulate a proper review with how annoyed this has made me. Pan pan pan.

This intriguing little beauty has been compared to Donna Tartt. Bellwether Revivals faltered at that comparison, here's hoping this one fares a lot better!
