Dark and mysterious gothic horror with a strong heart (and bones and shadows.) The Harrow House, the woods, the witch will live with me for some time. The mysteries in the book had me captivated, and the truth unfolded in a way that felt like I was uncovering it myself - the truth had always been there it was just hard to see.

What a pleasant surprise, I didn't expect to love this book so much.
This is a creepy, atmospheric gothic haunted house story with queer representation, really good themes and a satisfying ending. There are not many of those out there.
Although it's YA, it's also very dark. It deals with violence against girls, and there is gore. I would recommend for the upcoming spooky season, if you haven't read it yet.

Kate Alice Marshall never ceases to amaze me!!!!! Rules for Vanishing will probably always be my favourite of hers but so far I’ve read all of her books in one sitting because I just can’t put them down! So good 😍
