Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books for providing me an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
This one was hard to put down! I loooove a good haunted house and Lovelace house had all the trappings of one: an old house sinking into the sea, skulls on the ceiling tiles, rooms no one is permitted in, and a mysterious family who never leaves.
The story kept me guessing as it became more and more intricate and the family's lore and history was revealed. The romance between Marin and Evie was a nice touch amid the creepy atmosphere of the book. The gothic vibes were great and very consistent and the chapter names were a fun touch.
I definitely will recommend this book to queer horror fans.
