She Is a Haunting
The haunting takes place in contemporary Vietnam, in a house that is being remodeled by teenage Jade's difficult father. Jade and her little sister are on a conditional visit and Jade soon learns, after a number of uncanny events (insect creepiness, disturbing apparitions) that the beautiful house is haunted. The best ghost stories have vulnerable and smart leads, and a sense of cloying dread, and this book satisfies all of it.
The house's horrifying history is revealed as Jade struggles with her father, her past, and an evolving relationship with Florence, the beautiful and mischievous girl helping with the remodel.
I loved the atmosphere and the family dynamic, the blossoming romance. The haunting is fantastically weird, culminating in Jade's fierce determination to keep those she loves safe at any cost.
