adventurous challenging dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Jeetje mineetje wat een boek. Ik heb dit boek verslonden. Ik vond dit in het begin een vreemd boek, maar na het lezen van het einde valt alles op zijn plek. Wat een einde zeg, ik zag dit niet aankomen maar het is zo logisch. Alle details kloppen! De gedichten in het boek maken het in mijn mening af, het geeft een luguber tintje aan het boek. Ik heb hem gelezen in April, maar ik raad aan om hem rond Halloween te lezen, dan kom je helemaal in de spooky vibes. Ik ga zeker meer van deze auteur lezen en dit boek is op mijn toplijst komen te staan!

It definitely gave off And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (which was mentioned in the book) plus the narrator was great, her voice was quite relaxing.

I went into this knowing nothing about it and I kinda recommend that.  The plot is  much more interesting that way in my opinion.  However, it definitely felt dragged out and at times, it seemed like there were some unnecessary chapters but overall it was pretty entertaining.  

The plot twist near the end got me.  I wasn’t expecting that but I’m not sure how I felt about it at the same time.  Everything tied in together to the poem of the family.  Exposing the family secrets one by one leading them to the biggest secret of all and getting revenge for it after so many years.

And lastly, never cross Nana… or else you’ll end up like the rest of the Darker family.
