Despite a large estate and a grand coming out party, no one is interested in courting the sisters, even though five of them are already of age. After burying four sisters who were lost to various circumstances-the plague, a freak accident, a suicide, and falling from a cliff-the townspeople start to whisper that the Thaumas girls are cursed. And don't miss Erin Craig's Small Favors, a mesmerizing and chilling novel about dark wishes and even darker dreams.Annaleigh Thaumas was once one of twelve sisters, but four of them have gone to an early grave. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with. Because who-or what-are they really dancing with? When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family-before it claims her next. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. Each death was more tragic than the last-the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge-and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother.
