Can’t Wait Wednesday: House of Salt and Sorrows

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.

House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin Craig

In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.

Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor, a manor by the sea, with her sisters, their father, and stepmother. Once they were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls’ lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last—the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge—and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.

Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that the deaths were no accidents. Her sisters have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn’t sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who—or what—are they really dancing with?

When Annaleigh’s involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it’s a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family—before it claims her next.

*heavy breathing* OMG I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS ONE. eaisngrkeangieranglreanglreaj This is literally just about everything that I love. Not only is it a retelling of the 12 Dancing Princesses but it involves creepy manors, murder mysteries, and SO MUCH MORE. Insljrgnleagnlreanglrn glr I CANNOT EVEN.

✔️ THIS BOOK IS ARIEL APPROVED! Ariel is totally down for dancing and manors and, well, mostly all the water that is totally surrounding the creepy manor.
