Filled with sleepwalking, voices whispering in the dark, a touch of the supernatural, and a brooding romantic interest—this is everything I want in a gothic fiction novel. This chilling mystery and the uncertainty over what’s real and what’s not kept me up reading past my bed time and I finished this one in just three days! Definitely pick this one up if you are:
⁃ Looking for a fast-paced read
⁃ Into atmospheric, foreboding settings
⁃ Needing an immersive, spooky story
Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins Canada’s Killer Crime Club for providing me with an ARC of this book—this needs to be added to every Fall tbr list!
