“They loved and hated one another, wept and warred and plotted, moving always in a weird diagonal between deceit and truth. It had left scars on all of them,”

- Susanna Kearsley, The Splendour Falls

👻 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬: 👻 Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore Rating: 4.5/5 stars Goodreads: 3.81 ⭐ I really LOVED Rosemary Clement-Moore's debut book, The Splendour Falls, and read it over and over again as a teenager. I was always curious about her other works and so finally decided to read Texas Gothic. After I got over how very YA this book is, it took me back to my love for this author. Everything I loved about The Splendour Falls was in this book. It is a perfect read for October! It has witches, ghosts, people being possessed, an awesome setting on dusty ranches during a Texas summer and a really cute love interest. What else do you need? I really loved the MC Amy, not just because of her name, but I also loved her sister's role in this book. as well. I always love it when a book focuses on two sisters because really being a part of a sister pair is great! It also focuses on family and what it means to be apart of one. This book definitely gave me the creeps at times but also made me laugh. All the side characters where full and rounded people that really added to the story. I liked how the ending was realistic. We didn't see two teens riding off into the sunset but two teens living their lives and making things work. I found the excavation scenes interesting and really added to the story. It is a shame that Moore hasn't published anything since 2014 because I really enjoy her books. #amylittleford #amylittlefordauthor #texasgothic #corgibooks #rosemaryclementmoore #thesplendourfalls #octobershelf #octoberbooks #spookyseason #halloween #youngadult #yabookstagrammer #yafantasy #yafiction #witchvibes #youngadultbooks #fortheloveofbooks #whatimreading #readingnook #bookcollector #booknerd #bookworld #bookalicious #bookaddiction #bookaddicts #bookaddicted #booksandcoffee (at Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVoMHTCgtCi/?utm_medium=tumblr
