Story
New York City, 1899. Tillie Pembroke’s sister lies dead, her body drained of blood and with two puncture wounds on her neck. Bram Stoker’s new novel, Dracula, has just been published, and Tillie’s imagination leaps to the impossible: the murderer is a vampire. But it can’t be - can it? A ravenous reader and researcher, Tillie has something of an addiction to truth, and she won’t rest until she unravels the mystery of her sister’s death.

Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous.

As the only Second Daughter born in centuries, Red has one purpose - to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood in the hope he'll return the world's captured gods. Red is almost relieved to go. Plagued by a dangerous power she can't control, at least she knows that in the Wilderwood, she can't hurt those she loves. Again. But the legends lie. The Wolf is a man, not a monster. Her magic is a calling, not a curse. And if she doesn't learn how to use it, the monsters the gods have become will swallow the Wilderwood - and her world - whole.

Publisher's Summary
Georgia Peach Book Award nominee
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Get swept away by this “haunting” (Bustle) YA novel about twelve beautiful sisters living on an isolated island estate who begin to mysteriously die one by one. This dark and atmospheric fairy tale inspired story is perfect for fans of Yellowjackets.
"Step inside a fairy tale."—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.
Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there 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 her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls 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. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with...
And don't miss Erin Craig's Small Favors, a mesmerizing and chilling novel about dark wishes and even darker dreams.
What the critics say
"It’s a fairy tale, a young-adult romance (though gothic enough for adult readers) and a whodunit too."—The Wall Street Journal
“A tingling and chilling read.”—Huffington Post
"An eerie, lovely Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling full of ghosts and gods and a fascinating waterfront world and I'm reading it from behind my fingers."—Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood

Disjointed and disappointing
I love YA, and I loved the premise of this book. However, it felt disjointed and forced and the ending did not feel strong. This is personal preference, but I really wish the narrator wasn’t American - it didn’t feel authentic to the setting.

Not expected but amazing!!!
I was not expecting this book to be how it was. I waltzed in expecting a typical cheesy teen romance with maybe some mystery and adventure but left with so much more!!! The narration was on point. I put it at x1.2 speed and was constantly on the edge of my seat and she amplified the suspense in all the right places. I loved the story though, wasn’t expecting so much spooky stuff. It’s like if Charles dickens, Agatha Christie and Rick Riordan wrote a teen romance in all the best ways! I related so much with the MC and loved her relationship with her sisters! I feel like the more supernatural parts could have been a little more hinted at, but I didn’t mind in the end ‘cause it still made sense and didn’t entirely come out of the blue either. Overall I loved this book and recommend it to supernatural, romance, mystery and mild thriller fans!

Gothic mystery that keeps you guessing
If you are hoping for a dark fairytale romance, this is not that book.
There is not much romance in this book at all.
There are ghosts, gods, mysterious deaths, strange premonitions, curses, insanity and twisted plots. A main character who is not a damsel in distress, if you like that, this is your book.
The haunting descriptions of scenes play very clearly in your head as the author paints elaborate pictures. I could easily see this as a Tv series fit for lady Gaga. There’s some great imagery here.
It’s a slow moving story, that gracefully waltzes across your mind in its own time. You do get caught up in the melody and don’t mind the pace.
Very well performed overall.

An Absolutely Riveting Horror Mystery
Like Crimson Peak meets classic folktales, House of Salt and Sorrow is a thrill to read/listen to. The narration is beautifully acted and the story itself draws you in like the embrace of a constrictor snake. Once you start, you won't want to stop, and I can attest to this because I listened to it in one sitting. It was macabre and heartbreaking and the mystery at the core of the story will keep you guessing until the end.
Highly recommend this title. The story and writing are top notch!

Spooky, romantic fantasy
I really enjoyed this book. The creepy elements had a slow burn but by the end there was some great horror/gothic moments. The romance was geared a little toward teens but I still enjoyed it. Well written and well read.

Utterly Obsessed
I chose reading this book over sleep, multiple times. That’s how deeply this books mystery/whodunnit vibes sunk its hooks into me. I just had to know what happened next and that need only got stronger the farther along I got! This book is a definite must read.
