I really loved this book. Beautifully written - I feel like you can tell Ms Moning was dealing with a lot in her life at the time of writing and it comes through as amazingly descriptive language and emotions within the book.
Having read her other series' I wasn't sure how 'fantastical' this story would be, but so far it seems a bit more realistic to me which I enjoyed.
I found this an easy yet extremely compelling read and I cannot wait for more in this series.

As an OG fan of Karen Marie Moning, I was thrilled to see a new book and series from her!
I was not disappointed- her writing is just as easy to read as ever, and i flew through this one. When I initially picked it up I wasn't sure if it was a standalone or book one of many, and it became quite clear, quite quickly that we have more to come in this story line. Foreshadowing abounds.
KMM has a great way of building complex, interesting magic systems but in an easy to understand and down to earth way. I love how this one is caught up in interpersonal relationships and family trees. As always, the hot men are hot in this one, and boy does she know how to write hot men. And women who aren't afraid of sex, which is always nice. I'd say this volume is a bit spicy, with a door left open to the rest of the series.
I really enjoyed this book and will be looking forward to reading the next!

❤️‍🔥 KMM is back with a bang!
This book is everything I would expect from KMM.
Masterfully crafted grey characters
Feisty FMC. I love the fact that they don't hang around to wait for Mr Perfect 😉
All kinds of sexy males
Impossible stakes
Twisty plot lines
A maze of confusing emotions and allegiances for the reader to explore. Who is 'good'? Who is 'bad'? Or are the lines more blurry than we dare to think.
Is Divinity a haven or Hell?
Can't wait for the next installments!!!

I had to resort to reading this on the computer as the Kindle format was not correctly formatted for the tablet or the app. Once I was able to correctly view the book, I enjoyed this gothic witchy tale.
A fabulous read for this season.

I’m very grateful to have received this eARC through NetGalley

The House at Watch Hill is the story of Zo (like no!) a 24 year old woman who has lived a tragic life who finds herself thrown into a mysterious new town with plenty of secrets and expectations.

Witches, Vampires, gothic horror & Celtic mythology this books blends beautifully descriptive prose with suspense and an ominous under current. There is more to the town of Divinity that meets the eye.

I really enjoyed this, it kept me guessing throughout and is a perfect witchy fall read

I am so excited to read this book, as I absolutely adored KMM's 'Fever' series. Unfortunately, this sample is impossible to read. The narration appears to jump between two sorts of consciousness. In its current ARC format it is far too difficult to differentiate and therefore get any real grip on the story. So, I can only hope these formatting issues are fixed for the final.copy.

I really wanted to read this book and I will buy it once published but it is impossible to read in its current format. There are only a few coherent lines and then it breaks up completely and is impossible to read.

Not for me, or potentially the formatting of the sample rendered it unreadable. The concept is intriguing but its clearly meant to have poetic bits that you have to fight to read in the right order. The bits that are story paragraphs were well written but the text messages were also confusing as to who is speaking. Hopefully the book when printed doesn't have these issues
