A gothic YA novel about a creepy house and it’s ‘shadow’ counterpart in a mysterious ‘other’ realm

I enjoyed myself with this one! It was easy to read, fast paced, just the right amount of creepy

It was just a bit too mysterious for me. A lot of things were left unanswered… I don’t know. I think I was just expecting something more but it’s still a good book.

it’s like Halloween in July with this cute but spooky haunt

This definitely did not move in the direction I thought it was going to. I was hopeful for a happier ending than what we were given. I thought there would be a little more towards the end. That more secrets would be revealed and that perhaps Olivia would finally get a voice, but none of that happened and it felt like a bit of a letdown. The idea that there were dual Gallants, one in the real world, and one in Death's domain was interesting, but I felt like Death himself and the role he played just fell kind of flat.
