Sentient House Quotes

“Honeysuckle House sat staring out over the fall leaves. Dusk had long since turned to dark. Inside, it felt empty and alone. It creaked the floorboards and rattled the pipes in an attempt to block out the silence, but it didn’t help. Every sound it made was a reminder of the sounds it lacked.”
― Liz Parker, Witches of Honeysuckle House

“She trusted the house when it creaked, complained, rearranged furniture, opened doors it had no business opening, dropped books onto people it considered insufficiently attentive, and breathed through the walls at inappropriate hours. Noise, with Mercy Row, meant communication. Silence meant strategy.”
― Erika Killen, The Root Unbound: Book 5 of The Blood Archivist Series
