Cover of THE DROWNING HOUSE by Cherie Priest, coming July 23, 2024
First: It’s always a huge relief when the first trade reviews of a book are good - and The Drowning House is off with a bang! By which I mean: A starred review from Booklist! ::flails wildly::
"Award-winning, critically acclaimed author Cherie Priest darkens the horizon with a deliciously moody summer beach read, beautifully blending atmosphere and suspense to conjure a homecoming gone wrong.
"One stormy night on Marrowstone Island, a sinister house washes up on the beach, elderly Mrs. Culpepper keels over, and her grandson, Simon, disappears after messaging his childhood friend Melissa that his grandmother died of fright. Melissa and their other old friend, Leo, head to Marrowstone to look for Simon, only to find that a long-buried horror is awakening, and they are the only ones who can stop it.
Smartly paced, with plenty of action, this genre-bending novel moves between past summers of the trio as kids and teens and the present as Melissa and Leo navigate their uneasy friendship, search for the man they both love, and try to stop the apocalypse."
