This is not a book review. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed All the Murmuring Bones by Angela Slatter.
"Long ago Miren O'Malley's family prospered due to a deal struck with the Mer: safety for their ships in return for a child of each generation. But for many years the family have been unable to keep their side of the bargain and have fallen into decline. Miren's grandmother is determined to restore their glory, even at the price of Miren's freedom.
A spellbinding tale of dark family secrets, magic and witches, and creatures of myth and the sea; of strong women and the men who seek to control them."
This Gothic fantasy had all the things - darkness, atmosphere, a big old spooky house by the sea, family secrets, intrigue, badass females, watery folklore - so much! - and magic.
