You should read this if you like haunted houses, ghosts and ghouls, or middle grade books.  I love V.E Schwab and this was no exception.  It was spooky and somber but you still felt hope and I found myself really rooting for Olivia. I can't say this was a happy read but it was really beautiful.

I was intrigued by the main character (disabled, mute female lead), but the writing just didn’t keep me interested. It had a lot of weird “familial blood” themes, and just kind of slogged through this sad gray life that only gets sadder and grayer as our main character tries desperately to relate to her newfound family. The supernatural elements weren't very compelling, nor did the narration, and I just didn't enjoy it.
