House of Roots and Ruin by Erin A. Craig was my most anticipated release of 2023. I never expected a sequel for House of Salt and Sorrows (one of my all time favorites) so I was beyond excited when Craig announced she would be releasing one. Unfortunately, this book didn't live up to my expectations.… Continue reading Book Review for “House of Roots and Ruin” by Erin A. Craig
