I couldn't put it down. This book was intense, and I honestly didn't know what the hell to expect, but it wasn't that.

I loved this book! It was a fun mix of historical New York fiction and thriller/mystery. It’s always fun to try to put the pieces together in a mystery/thriller and this was no exception. The author did a great job of developing the MC’s backstory and creating a palpable creepy environment at the Bartholomew! Worth the read :) 

loved that Rufus ended up with the MC
