Really loved the way this turned into a thriller from the horror of a sleepy seaside town with too much history involved. Would make an excellent beach read, especially if you’re staying in a haunted light house

This was a really tense, creepy ghost story that is also about motherhood and family and love. The ending is extremely bittersweet, but so powerful.
Of course, Regina being forcibly taken by Marina wasn't going to solve the problem - Marina needed a mother to know her and willingly choose to stay.
I really liked this one.

Meh. Probably should have DNF’d. Don’t go into this expecting it to be exciting or scary.

This book was good enough. The cover drew me to it and i really hoped to like it more than i did in the end. I did enjoy the style of writing and the way things were described almost felt poetic in the best ways.
The ideas were good, but the most interesting characters/plot lines were the older flashback parts (and those were few and far between). I found the main character boring at best and the final ending to be infuriating.

Good, but there was like one too many plot lines that it was a little overwhelming.
