Love the gothic vibes. I definitely see the Crimson Peak inspiration, which is great for me because I really like that movie.

Delightfully dark and twisty turney. You don't know what you don't know until you know. ❤️

Gothic ghost and love story. Enjoyed the synchronicities. Could be a bit hard to follow sometimes. Some parts were a bit much for me (trigger warning for all of you who are a bit squeamish when it comes to blood and guts) but it wasn’t gory for the sake of gory.

Okay, so the beginning of this book had me feeling all the gothic vibes, and I was loving it. The middle of the book still had creepy gothic vibes, with additional answers to things I didn't know we would get answered so early. And then, I genuinely don't know what happened for most of the end of the book. I'm beginning to think I have an illness that keeps me from fully understanding the ambiguity of the end of a book. I love weird. And I love confusing sometimes. Well, this had both! I'm just not sure I grasped the whole intention of the ending. I need someone else to read this and tell me how to feel. Until then, I'm giving it a middling rating because I enjoyed the vibes, I just don't know what was achieved.

Love the concept of this book, but the story didn't deliver. I found myself getting disinterested quite a few times.
