I went into this book thinking it was going to be a horror novel, but it ended up being more of a mystery than anything else. It definitely gave me Dracula vibes since a lot of the plot was shared through journal entries and the general spookiness. I also definitely got Rebecca vibes. I think if you like victorian gothic stories, then you'd enjoy this book.
