Kindle Edition, 400 pages
Publication: October 7th 2014 by Greenwillow Books
Madeline Usher is doomed.
She has spent her life fighting fate, and she thought she was succeeding. Until she woke up in a coffin.
Ushers die young. Ushers are cursed. Ushers can never leave their house, a house that haunts and is haunted, a house that almost seems to have a mind of its own. Madeline’s life—revealed through short bursts of memory—has hinged around her desperate plan to escape, to save herself and her brother. Her only chance lies in destroying the house.
In the end, can Madeline keep her own sanity and bring the house down? The Fall is a literary psychological thriller, reimagining Edgar Allan Poe’s classic The Fall of the House of Usher.
As a huge Poe fan I couldn't help but love this mysterious, ghostly and fantastic retelling of it. It's written in a very original format. It might not be for everyone but I thought it was amazing. And oh so creepy!
Honorable mentions go to:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
My favorite book so far. Yeah, I haven't read them all yet. I'm working on it!

What was the best book you read this month?
Let me know!
Oooh- I love the look of The Fall, it looks really spooky! I've had Masque of the Red Death (by the same author) on my shelf for ages and have never gotten around to reading it.
ReplyDeleteAnd Shadow and Bone! Love this series :)
The cover for Neverland is just gorgeous.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
I'm a big fan of Poe as well, so I'll definitely have to check this book out! Sorry you had so many duds this month. I had a really good reading month - I think it was because I did more reading of things that I've been wanting to pick up (vs. tours and review books - although my BotB winner was a review book, actually). Hope next month is better for you!
