What I did like:
-Some of the characters - Catalina, Francis & Noemi.
-The cover is beautiful.
-There is a very well written "Gothic" feel/vibe.
This style of horror was very gruesome, graphic and trigger-warning heavy. This book was slow the first 65%/70%; it's a very dark story and definitely gives a Gothic "trapped" feeling. Nightmares, manipulation, gas-lighting, gruesomeness, evil characters, horrible acts done against people.

There is definitely a great atmosphere to this book. I had dreams specifically about the dread and mystery in this book while reading it. Overall, it's got a decent plot. Is Noemi's cousin insane? Is the house really haunted? Is there more to the story of High Place?
We get all the answers. I personally didn't like the answer to the great mystery but it isn't my book lol. I had two theories as to what it was straight away and one of them was relatively close to the author's chosen path. This is a medium paced book with a SLOW BURN! This book is primarily atmosphere with just a tiny bit of action. The action is ALL at the end. The main character is VERY shallow and not loveable at all but she does want to help her cousin and at least she has a relatable desire to help someone she loves.
