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

The story is ok, a bit darker than the very peppy voice narrating it. There are a few interesting twists and turns and times when you don't know who to trust. not too much foreshadowing. moderately engaging but won't blow your mind. 4 stars as I finished this one but not other recent listens that I thought were mediocre and couldn't continue with - so it must have been ok!!
annoying voice but it's ok

The narrators voice suited the characters. It was well performed, but was not able to convey any sense of horror.
Ended up using this as background noise while doing other tasks.
A simple read and just ok

It’s written really well, and the story captivated me from the start all the way to the end. I’m really glad I listened to it. Also, it wasn’t scary for me at all, but I can see why some people might get creeped out. I think it was the perfect balance of creepiness, and I love how it kept me guessing the entire way through.
If you love YA stories with likeable characters, especially the MC (who I really liked) then this story is the one for you)
I also enjoyed the narrators voice.
