Review copy provided in exchange for an honest review

The Wrong House was a great read! Its full of suspense that left an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach. Gerald’s night at Dr. Blood’s house was a trip to another era. Sitting rooms, trays of tea, and oil lamps for lighting. The Wrong House is built around the mysterious use of ‘Oxygenated Air’ by Dr. Blood, as treatment for various ailments. Dr. Blood, as he is known, feels larger than life and has a menacing quality about him. I really dug that the story was based on historical facts, which are included at the end of the book. No spoilers here, read them for yourself! Christie Stratos is fantastic with historical fiction. Writing with ease and dropping the reader off in another time and place. I dug this trip to the Victorian era, give it a read and join Gerald as a guest of Dr. Blood.
