A Good House for Children | Kate Collins

2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read

'In her beautifully written debut, Kate Collins gives the haunted house novel a refreshing renovation, while retaining a deliciously chilling atmosphere that fans of Shirley Jackson will love. I was entranced' Francine Toon, author of Pine The perfect place to destroy a family... The Reeve stands on the edge of the Dorset cliffs, awaiting its next inhabitants. Despite Orla's misgivings, her husband insists this house will be the perfect place to raise their two children. In 1976, Lydia moves to Dorset as a nanny for a family grieving their patriarch. She soon starts to hear and feel things that cannot be real, but her bereaved employer does not listen when Lydia tells her something is wrong. Separated by forty years, both Lydia and Orla realise that the longer they stay at the Reeve, the more deadly certain their need to keep the children safe from whatever lurks inside it... Nothing is quite what it seems at the Reeve, and with its pervasive atmosphere of claustrophobia and dread, Kate Collins' gothic creation will chill you to the core.

A Good House for Children | Kate Collins

Now THIS I enjoyed! It‘s pretty wild and I can‘t really say too much about the twists or it‘ll give a huge plot point away, but I will say that it‘s definitely a unique spin on the haunted house story. Beyond the sort of paranormal angle it‘s a look at motherhood and grief and losing oneself as you try to take care of others. It‘s creepy at times and all I can say is I thoroughly enjoyed it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫

A Good House for Children | Kate Collins

I received this book in the mail today. I won this physical ARC from a Goodreads giveaway. The publication date is July 2023. This one sounds interesting to me. Hopefully, I‘ll get around to reading it before it gets published. I can‘t promise that I will because I‘m bad at reading ARCs on time but I still want to read it.
