Creepy, chilling and haunting in a beautiful but twisted way. Couldn't stop reading. Wanted to know more. At all cost. Even if it got twisted and strange. When u didnt know if it was real or just in her head. if the Ghost is telling the true. I was questioning everything Maybe this book is haunting me...

Coming out in a haunted house :D

I really loved this book, it was a super fun read and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next Trang Thanh Tran novel! “She is a haunting” is gothic horror featuring a queer main character, many flowers, insects, and family drama. The topic of colonialism in Vietnam was one of the things I found the most interesting about the book, as it is a rather marginalised horrific part of history and is not talked about in German schools really. The surreal mini chapters, detailing the thoughts of the house, were refreshing and creative. I do agree that the novel has some YA features but I personally didn’t feel like it was too much to be readable by an adult too. The main character tending to push people away who are good to her might be viewed as “annoying” during the course of the story, as the pattern repeats several times, however I found that it was realistic based on Jade’s past experiences and the fear of being hated for who she really is by the people she loves. All in all a book I recommend to read if you’re interested in progressive horror!
