‘The House’ Review:
As usual, Christina Lauren has written a fantastic story and The House does not disappoint. Even fans of Christina Lauren’s romance novels will enjoy their venture into the Young Adult genre. The plot line keeps the reader glued to the pages (or e-reader) and you won’t ever want to skip ahead. Every detail will have you wondering if maybe you own house could be haunted too.
Readers will love Delilah for her strength, oddities, and self-confidence. If there’s one thing Christina Lauren excels in it’s writing amazing female characters. You wont find a damsel in distress here. If you don’t want to be Delilah you will wish that she was your best friend.
One of my favorite parts about The House was that while the novel is considered young adult it is anything but the typical romance story. Delilah is part of that reason, and Gavin is the other. He’s the odd boy out, with an even odder upraising, and a budding sexuality to delight. Deep down he’s the guy you want by your side, the one who only cares for others.
Mix the romance in with the haunted house and you have a recipe for perfection. This reviewer can’t wait to read The House all over again.
