I loved this story much more than I thought I would. It is beautifully written and has plot twists that I wasn't expecting.

There were enough good elements to keep me reading. The horror was nice and creepy, and I found the mystery enticing. Plus I loved the overall concept.

But there were too many things I didn’t love. Annaleigh was such a flat character. Apparently character development is more important to me than I thought, but the plot was good enough for me to forgive that after the first section of the book. But it was a slow start, and Annaleigh’s lack of depth made it slower.

The romance was also... unnecessary? Too quick? I don’t know, I just didn’t like it.

And the big reveal at the end, it all happened so quick, and I found it a little unbelievable and a bit unsatisfying.

Finally, I have mixed feelings about the world building. There were so many different elements to explore,  which was very cool, but it all felt... too convenient? I’m not sure how to elaborate on this. I will say that there does seem to be potential for more stories written in this world, and I wouldn’t be against trying them out.

I loved this book so much.  It was a wonderful mix of The Twelve Dancing Princess and murder mysteries.  Granted the book is a little slow in the beginning but if you continue to read it, you won’t regret it.
