This was the perfect moody read to start autumn off with; rainy days, dark forests, decrepit manors, 1920s aesthetic, I was immediately immersed into the grungy feel of this book.
I will admit that I’m a little let down by the ending. I’m not sure what I’m let down by, but I feel a sense of wanting more. Again, the mystery aspect was wonderful, but it’s the world building around it that I think I’m a bit put out by. Questions about how the in-book “real world” functions that are never really answered.

I tried making multiple guesses about the things that were going to happen in the book but I was often wrong. There were a lot of twists and turns and I definitely did not see the final twist coming.
When I started reading I thought it would be a four star book at most but it really delivered. When I got to the final day I was worried that all the plot holes would remain holes, but Turton made sure that everything got wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow.
I loved this book and would read it again.

Most excitingly was that I constantly felt like I was the main character living each day as each new “host.” Since you only learn what the characters know, you have no choice but to get into the characters’ minds, experience what they’re each experiencing, and hope that the days aren’t wasted.
Incredibly immersive.
My only complaint is that the ending didn’t really feel connected to the rest of the book. Maybe if I went back to read it now I could see the signs and clues better, but sooo much information came out in the last few pages that I got a bit lost in how everything connected.
