challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

A fun read with lots of twists and turns! I finished it in no time!

Some great twists in this one.

Ugh. Can’t believe I wasted my first book of the year on this. Unlikeable characters and a dull plot. I kept waiting for it to get good, and by that time I was halfway through, so I suffered through the rest. Jane Erye? Can’t touch a classic. This is an insult to a retelling.

didn’t want to put it down. hated the protagonist tho.

horrifically boring and cringy and the fact it tried positioning itself as a thriller let alone a jane eyre retelling is sure something

A retelling of my favorite novel, Jane Eyre, with strong undertones from Daphne DuMaurier's Rebecca. If you're very familiar with Jane Eyre, this story is full of Easter eggs. While the original story is one of romance and mystery, this retelling is mostly a thriller with little in the way of genuine romance, and none of the main characters are very likeable. This was a quick page-turner, with the action getting under way within the first few pages with no time wasted, and it's an interesting darker twist on a classic story.
