NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Get swept away by this “haunting” (Bustle) YA novel about twelve beautiful sisters living on an isolated island estate who begin to mysteriously die one by one. This dark and atmospheric fairy tale inspired story is perfect for fans of Yellowjackets.
"Step inside a fairy tale."—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.
Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last—the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge—and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.
Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who—or what—are they really dancing with?
When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family—before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with...
And don't miss Erin Craig's Small Favors, a mesmerizing and chilling novel about dark wishes and even darker dreams.

"It’s a fairy tale, a young-adult romance (though gothic enough for adult readers) and a whodunit too."—The Wall Street Journal
“A tingling and chilling read.”—Huffington Post
"An eerie, lovely Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling full of ghosts and gods and a fascinating waterfront world and I'm reading it from behind my fingers."—Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood

A heady, gothic retelling

The story itself is not what I expected. It pulls you in, you think you know what's going to happen and like the main character in the book you end up not knowing what to think. I loved the book, I'm not one for spooky or thrillers. So listening to it in the bath or in the dark is a big NO! It is now one of my favourites, but I will not be making that mistake again!

This book was beautiful, haunting, dark, and sometimes outright terrifying. I loved all of it.
I prolonged finishing this book for as long as I possibly could, I never wanted it to end.
I don’t know what else to say. It was intense, it kept me guessing and it made me cry so, so much. Two moments in particular were heart-wrenching.
I am not ready to leave Highmoor. I see a lot of rereads in my future.
I really enjoyed the audio. Emily brought so much emotion to the characters she read.
And the characters, ugh, sometimes when you read a book you come away from it feeling like you’ve gotten to know real people, and that’s what this book has given me.
I will cherish this story, always. It is definitely one of my all time favourite books. I cannot wait to read it again, and again.
^ This is my first review of House of Salt and Sorrows, I just finished a reread and I'm an emotional mess. Gosh I love this book.
