Fantastic pacing, harrowing imagery, enchanting insights, and one of the most horrifically perfect endings I've ever read.

For the first 30% of this book, I assumed I wouldn't be finishing it, as the trappings of a traditional romance novel were more overt than I liked. I assumed the supernatural element would be little more than the elements in the original Haunting of Hill House, which (very slight spoilers for that)
I'd recommend this if you've got a medium-strong stomach for handling gore and self-flagellation, and are okay walking away with a few "huh" moments towards the end.
