Chapters 1-16 of "Starling House" by Alix E. Harrow.

In this episode, Kristen and Summer dive into Starling House by Alix E. Harrow, a gothic fantasy filled with eerie houses, forgotten histories, and a town with secrets lurking beneath its surface. They follow Opal, a tough-as-nails drifter obsessed with a mysterious house that seems to call to her in dreams, and Arthur, its brooding last heir, bound to protect something dark within. As they break down the novel’s creeping tension, morally gray characters, and rich, haunting atmosphere, they also debate whether the house is friend or foe—and whether Arthur and Opal will ever just talk to each other. Packed with theories, revelations, and plenty of intrigue, this episode is a must-listen for fans of eerie, slow-burn mysteries!

Next episode we will be reading chapters 17-Epilogue of "Starling House" by Alix E. Harrow.
