However, she soon becomes entangled in the ghostly secrets surrounding her family and finds out that circumstances are not quite what they seem. Having lost four sisters already, with the help of her childhood friend, her remaining sisters, and the captivating son of a seafaring captain, Annaleigh embarks on a mission to solve the suspicious death of her most recent sister. As the second-born daughter of a duke of her people, The People of The Salt, she is tasked with many duties, including helping her new stepmother grow accustomed to the strange mourning customs of the province and her Highmoor household. House of Salt and Sorrows follows 18-year-old Annaleigh and the mystery of the death that constantly surrounds her. While there are many elements of the gothic genre in this novel, there is also fantasy and mythology, so I guess this book would fall in the young adult fantasy/horror/gothic/romance/fairytale-spinoff genre? I had never read the original tale of “The Twelve Dancing Princesses”, but I think this was a very captivating read with many twists and turns that is bound to keep the reader on edge. For one, I didn’t even catch that it was supposed to be a fairytale spinoff until I read the back flap while I was half-way through the story. This book was definitely different from what I thought it’d be.

The solution satisfies one intellectually and emotionally, playing fair not only with the clues, but with the book's central themes.

(They offered no reason for the split.) It’s a somewhat silly way to end one of the most successful musical pairings of the 21st century-the moment of self-destruction is primed to be GIF’d into oblivion itself-and it’s difficult to take two guys who never publicly took their helmets off at face value.
