This gothic-y/creepy vibe book may be the first I have read along these lines that is outside of actual horror books. I got sucked right in and read this one very quickly. I wasn't fond of the main character, but that didn't detract from me enjoying the book as a whole.

There were a sense of creepiness in the whole book that made me wonder what was going to happen and I wasn't disappointed.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an advanced reader copy of the E-book in exchange for an honest review.

i love books with these themes but i don't particularly enjoy how it was done in this book. i feel like this book didn't know what it wanted to be. this really didn't have a plot which made the story frustrating and it felt pointless.
