⭐️ Book Review: Starling House by Alix E. Harrow ⭐️ Synopsis: Set in the cursed town of Eden, Kentucky, Starling House follows Opal, a young woman just trying to give her brother, Jasper, a better life. When she accepts a job cleaning the mysterious Starling House, built by a vanished 19th-century author, she finds herself pulled into a web of dark secrets, supernatural forces, and a brooding heir named Arthur Starling. As nightmares from the past awaken, Opal must face both the house’s horrors and her own history to protect what matters most. Themes: 🏠 Home — finding it in unexpected places 💞 Family — Opal’s fierce love for her brother drives everything 👻 Confronting the past — uncovering buried secrets to move forward 🪞 Identity — refusing to be defined by where you come from My Thoughts: I loved this book. The characters felt real and layered, especially Opal. She was strong-willed, flawed, and easy to root for. The “house is alive” atmosphere gave me the perfect gothic chills, and the writing was hauntingly beautiful. The romance added just enough warmth without overshadowing the mystery or horror. It’s spooky, emotional, and beautifully written — a gothic fantasy that sticks with you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
