Bromeliad House is so atmospheric, beautiful and haunting. Jessika captured the essence of gothic horror. I felt like I was truly immersed in Florida and being haunted by mirrors 😅  

Delphine’s journey within Bromeliad House, the mystery she unravels, and finding herself felt so real and relatable.

The romance was sweet and awkward. It fit them so well. It was balanced well within the overall story and didn’t take away from it at all.

The Twousins dynamic was absolutely adorable!

Bromeliad House is a lush, unsettling gothic that wraps you in humidity, memory, and the slow creep of something watching from the corner of your eye. It’s elegant in its atmosphere yet wonderfully readable, the kind of story that feels like stepping into a house that has been waiting far too long for you to return.

Delphine is a beautifully drawn protagonist—haunted, capable, and quietly brittle in the way people become when they’ve spent their whole lives bracing for loss. Her second sight, the fetches that mirror the faces of the soon‑to‑die, gives the novel its eerie pulse, but it’s the emotional weight behind that gift that makes the story resonate. The fear of reflections, the ache of inherited trauma, the longing to reclaim a home that has shaped her in ways she can’t quite escape—it all settles into the narrative with a graceful inevitability.

The house itself is a standout: sentient, seductive, and dangerous, a decaying Florida estate thick with ghosts, secrets, and the remnants of a family that has been slowly swallowed by its own history. The tension between the spectral forces trying to keep Delphine out and the house’s own desire to claim her creates a deliciously gothic push‑and‑pull.

I loved the way the novel blends romance, horror, and Southern‑gothic decay without losing its emotional core. Delphine’s connection with the person whose fetch she once saw adds a tender, haunting thread—love complicated by fate, fear, and the possibility that the future is already written in glass.

This is an elegant, atmospheric tale about inheritance, identity, and the danger of looking too closely at the past. Perfect for readers who enjoy gothic fiction with a modern sensibility, rich settings, and a heroine fighting to rewrite the story her family left behind.
