Description
Delilah and Gavin’s new love is threatened by a force uncomfortably close to home in this haunting novel from New York Times bestselling duo Christina Lauren.
His shirt is black, jeans are black, and shaggy black hair falls into his eyes. And when Gavin looks up at Delilah, the dark eyes shadowed with bluish circles seem to flicker to life.
He lives in that house, the one at the edge of town. Spooky and maybe haunted. Something worse than haunted. And Gavin is trapped by its secrets.
Delilah and Gavin can’t resist each other. But staying together will exact a price beyond their imagining.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The House by Christina Lauren has been described as a unique and captivating entry in the haunted house genre. The story is praised for its blend of horror and romance, creating a chilling yet beautiful narrative. Reviews suggest reading it during the daytime if you scare easily, as the suspenseful atmosphere and the vivid depiction of the house can be quite unsettling.
