Meh
The story was interesting enough, but I didn’t enjoy the writing style and didn’t get pulled into the story, but rather found my mind wandering off as I read.
I think the story could have been more fleshed out in certain areas and there were certain elements that felt unfinished and some that wrapped up way too quickly.

I was impatiently waiting for this book to come out and the wait was well worth it! Fast paced and keeps you guessing the entire time!

A really great read and designed to be fast paced where you can’t put it down. It kept me guessing throughout with the then and now chapters. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is a few of the characters made me feel I needed more (detail, connection, understanding).

Fast paced and left me guessing throughout. I did want more from the story at times.

“But that’s the thing about love, it just changes. You just figure it out along the way, and it grows, and the definition of love—it changes.”
4.5 stars! Told in dual timelines, then and now, this book keeps you on the edge of your seat. You don’t know who you can trust and everyone seems to be out for themselves.
And then the twists at the end?! Woah! 🤯 Those last 50 or so pages I was flipping like THEY were on fire (see what I did there?) 😏.
House On Fire not only has a stunning cover and some veryyy destructive family dynamics but is also a wild ride into the minds and hearts of damaged children and abusive parents.
I thank the author so much for sending me her book to read!

Thrilling
This book did not disappoint! I usually figure out many things as I’m reading a story and my favorite books are the ones I can’t figure out the details! I felt
Quinn’s anxiety and her hollowness, her empty brokenness. Then I felt more. That’s all I will say for now. This was very well done. Great read!
