House of Roots and Ruin

Sisters of the Salt

De: Erin A. Craig

Narrado por: Phoebe Strole

Number One New York Times Best Seller

A modern masterpiece, this is a classic Gothic thriller-fantasy from bestselling author Erin A. Craig, about doomed love, menacing ambition, and the ghosts that haunt us forever.

In a manor by the sea, one sister is still cursed.

Despite dreams of adventures far beyond the Salann shores, seventeen-year-old Verity Thaumas has remained at her family’s estate, Highmoor, with her older sister Camille, while their sisters have scattered across Arcannia.

When their sister Mercy sends word that the Duchess of Bloem—wife of a celebrated botanist—is interested in having Verity paint a portrait of her son, Alexander, Verity jumps at the chance, but Camille won’t allow it. Forced to reveal the secret she’s kept for years, Camille tells Verity the truth one day: Verity is still seeing ghosts, she just doesn’t know it.

Stunned, Verity flees Highmoor that night and—with nowhere else to turn—makes her way to Bloem. At first, she is captivated by the lush, luxurious landscape and is quickly drawn to charming, witty, and impossibly handsome Alexander Laurent. And soon, to her surprise, a romance . . . blossoms.

But it’s not long before Verity is plagued with nightmares, and the darker side of Bloem begins to show through its sickly-sweet facade. . . .

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

A Publishers Weekly best seller!

A USA Today best seller!

"Another triumph by Craig, a twisty gothic romance that drew me in from the first sentence. There's something comforting about stepping into Craig's worlds, she crafts them well, and they're so suffused with light that the darkness comes as a surprise. I'll be recommending this one everywhere."—Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Three Dark Crowns

"Terrifying and beautiful, Craig has given us another heartstopper!"—Lauren Blackwood, New York Times bestselling author of Within These Wicked Walls

The Ending Pissed Me Off

There better be an actual resolution to this plot when the sequel comes out in two years i stg

Couldn’t stop listening!

I couldn’t stop listening to this one. I absolutely loved the first book in the series and while this could be considered a companion novel and not a sequel it was just as good as the first. It was creepy (but not too creepy!) and ended on a note that I can’t imagine that there won’t be more to come. Truly I stayed up until 2am finishing because once you hit chapter 43 forget it, things go up in flames.

Love It!

I love the first book. The second book what’s better! They must read for YA lovers anywhere.

Queen of atmosphere

Just like the first book in the series, this one is dripping with horror atmosphere and darkness. I don't think the God plot was very interesting as I have read a bunch of YA fantasies with the exact same plot. Also, there is something wrong with this author. In all her books, her female characters marry way too young and all end up with children. Here, this 18 year old falls in love with the first boy she meets and is already thinking about her future children. Yikes

great story and great performance!!!

this story was wonderfully written and beautifully performed!!! could not wait to finish it.

Amazing story especially the last few chapters!

Loved this continuation of the story. The last few chapters are an unexpected twist. Highly recommend.

Loved it!!!

Absolutely loved it! Fell in love with the first book and knew I had to read this one as soon as I saw it. Waited weeks for it to drop and I was not disappointed. Couldn’t put it down. Absolutely hate the cliff hanger ending but it definitely leaves room for book 3! Please say there’s a book 3?!

Loved it!!

I loved the first book and this second book is even better!! Has love, despair, surprise, and death.

can't wait until the next book

Absolutely amazing. I have enjoyed these 2 books, can't wait for the next. Hurry!!!!

So Good

So good, what a great listen. Narrator was very good. Perfect for the end of summer.
