Meh. I think this one could have been a lot shorter, and a lot more exciting. It didn't feel unique, and definitely didn't feel atmospheric enough for the time period, or vibes it promised. The characters were not really well developed, or likeable (especially Bea), and some of the plot felt like it came straight from a certain movie about witches, (not naming it because, spoilers). I just didn't love this one like I had hoped to...

I was honestly bored by the end and wanted it to be finished already
I wanted more romance and less pointless ghost fighting, we only get crumbs of sapphic romance and selfish Bea walks away without a second glance at the mess she made???
Not impressed, which is a shame, it was promising
