Unearthly Things by Michelle Gagnon
Pub. Date: April 11, 2017
Goodreads says, "After losing her parents in a tragic accident, surfer girl Janie Mason is forced to trade the sunny beaches of Hawaii for the cold fog of San Francisco. She’s never even met her new guardians, the Rochesters—an old money family who relish being pillars of high society. Janie feels hopelessly out of place in their world of Napa weekends, fancy prep schools, and cotillions. Nicholas is the only Rochester who treats her with anything resembling kindness—but he’s only six. When she strikes up a friendship with Daniel, a fellow surfer, it feels like things might finally be improving. But something isn’t right in the Rochester mansion. There are noises—screams—coming from the attic nearly every night. Noises everyone else claims they can’t hear. Then John, the black sheep of the family, returns after getting kicked out of yet another boarding school. Soon Janie finds herself torn between this new “brother” and Daniel, who has secrets of his own. Just when she thinks her life can’t get any worse, she learns the truth about the Rochesters: what they’re hiding, what they want from Janie, and how far they’ll go to get it."
I am definitely intrigued by this YA retelling of Jane Eyre set in San Francisco. What do you guys think?
Ehgad. Love triangle. I shall wait for your review. :D
ReplyDeleteHaha. Yes! I will definitely let you know! Thanks for dropping by, Joy!
DeleteOhhh, this really does sound good! I hadn't heard of it before either. It's totally going on my TBR. :) Great pick, Christina!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the sound of it, Christy. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteThis sounds very interesting. I love Jane Eyre and have read various modern retellings but I like the idea of Jane as a surfer and hopefully there won't be a wife in the attic as the characters are teens!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I have read some disappointing classical retellings though, so I am hoping that isn't the case here. haha- the wife in the attic comment made me lol. Thanks for visiting, Christina!
DeleteI'm also intrigued by a J.E. retelling in San Fran. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I love the setting of San Fran. Thanks for dropping by, Natalie.
DeleteI loved Jane Eyre! Goodness, I feel like Gagnon always has a new book publishing (which is awesome). :D I hope you love this book when you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week, Christina. =)
Check out my WoW post!
Me too. I have actually never read any of her novels though. I am excited to check her out. Thanks for visiting, Alyssa.
DeleteI'm always up for a Jane Eyre retelling, and the fact that its set close to home for me is definitely an extra draw!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I love when books are set near my hometown. It makes it extra engaging I think. Thanks for visiting, Becky!
