I read this book very quickly - it was well written and engaging.  The low rating is because it didn't seem to bring anything really new, outside of one gender swapped character.  Nothing surprised me.  But - this is a straight retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher, so I shouldn't be surprised, right?  It was fine.

It’s good but I haven’t read “The Fall of the House of Usher” so take it with a grain of salt. Its spooky and with some gore but it was also kinda funny. It felt more like a mystery with some gore since it didn’t really feel like any of the characters were in danger.
