I received a gifted copy of this book via netgalley and in exchange I'm leaving an honest review.
Cults. Haunted house. 60s music and clothing. Time travel.
There's a lot going on in this book. There were a couple times I got confused and had to reread a chapter, just because there's so much going on in the book. But that doesn't necessarily take anything away from it. The cover is what made me request this book over anything else. When I hit 60% or so I couldn't put this book down. The cult thing preying on vulnerable parents that wanted children very much reminds me of rosemary's baby, which is a 1960s staple--so it works. I don't know if that's what Catherine had in mind when she wrote this book, but if it is she succeeded. Just makes it all the more creepy tbh--that book fr stressed me out and what happens to Alli with the hooded man was another thing that made me think of rosemary's baby.
